Hi-Rez released a teaser video for Zhin, the Tyrant. Get a glimpse into Zhin’s relationship with his sword. Heads rolled and foes were slaughtered. Zhin is the new champ in Paladins.
Zhin is a cruel warrior, and his sword tells us his story in the teaser video from Hi-Rez.
In the beginning, Zhin sharpens his blade on a whetstone, the camera focusing on the shiny metal. Suddenly, shadows form, and outlines of people can be seen. A shadow clearly representing Zhin moves through the rows of men kneeling before him. They look like soldiers who are loyally subordinate to their captain.
The image changes, and we see Zhin as he slaughters two giants with his sword.

The scene shifts, and we see the shadow of a person who seems to be on their knees. The samurai swings his sword and aims for the man’s neck. The image blurs, and the shadow play is over.
Zhin tenderly runs his hand over the blade, presumably relishing the battles he has fought. The warrior pours oil over his sword and sets it ablaze. He walks out, dragging the sword behind him on the ground, leaving a trail of fire.
Zhin is the newest champion of Paladins and arrives with OB52 to the fantasy shooter. Studio Hi-Rez revealed that Zhin is the first evil character of the hero shooter. The video clearly shows that this warrior knows no mercy.
Leya says: A strong video that perfectly showcases Zhin’s character in less than a minute. He is the leader whom the soldiers kneel before. Whether out of fear or respect remains unclear. He decapitates an apparently unarmed man and shows no mercy. However, his sword seems to caress Zhin and leaves a trail of destruction in the end.
It’s exactly these little teasers that Hi-Rez spreads here and there that make me particularly excited for Paladins lore. I hope Hi-Rez keeps its promise and releases it this year.
