Paragon’s open beta begins August 16, gameplay fixes planned

Making a great MOBA isn't an easy task and Epic Games certainly knows it – despite all the potential in Paragon, there's still quite a lot of work ahead for the makers of Gears of War.

The Paragon open beta date was revealed to be August 16, 2016 and progress won't be reset, and there's also the promise of a new hero every three weeks. Khaimera is the next in line, coming to Paragon on June 21 – a melee fighter wielding dual axes, he has this awesome tribal look to him that reminded us of the character from the classic Shadow of the Beast series.
