Paragon was a free-to-play action MOBA developed by Epic Games. The open beta for the game started back in August 2016. However, because of the major success of Fortnite, Epic Games decided to shut down Paragon on April 2018 before its full release. The team that was working on the game at the time was transferred to the team working on Fortnite. Epic Games has since then releases the assets used in Paragon for free, allowing game developers to use them. Games like Predecessor and Fault: Elder Orb were amongst the games that used said assets

There was no news about Paragon for quite a while. That is until a teaser was uploaded 2 weeks ago on the Overprime Youtube channel. Overprime is, much like Paragon, a third-person action MOBA. Korean game studio NetMarble has been working on this game for over a year now. However, it was only recently that they received permission from Epic Games to use the name Paragon. As such, starting 2 weeks ago, Overprime rebranded into Paragon: The Overprime.

After announcing the name change, they have since then released a trailer for the game's Global Final Test, as well as a rework trailer for one of the characters, Kwang. More details about the Global Final Test should arrive in the coming days.
