However, the developers of PUBG have been known to defend their territory in the past, taking issue with Fortnite borrowing too heavily from their gameplay . The name is one thing, but if gameplay is the discussion, Paladins: Battlegrounds should have nothing to worry about, as it seems to set itself far apart from its competitors.

Chisam said that they chose the name Paladins: Battlegrounds as an homage to MMO's. Since the game will use teams and rely on high-speed mounts, Chisam feels this likens it more to classical MMO battlegrounds more so than the current Battle Royale games.
