Become a wrecking ball and wreak havoc upon enemies in visceral melee combat, or rain damage and destruction from afar using powerful weapons and abilities. The third-person aspect creates never before seen interactions in the genre as players jump, fly or teleport over the environment, using their skill and cunning in completely new ways to assassinate the enemies or support allies.
Omeda started building its first game, Predecessor, in 2018 using assets from Epic’s Paragon after it was made available for user generated content and is one of only a few MOBA games that supports cross-platform play (PC and console).
Teams of five join arms in battle as they fight for glory on the battlefield against enemy heroes on a traditional three-lane map featuring an interactive jungle, epic monsters and more.
In a match, 10 players are divided into two teams with each player controlling their chosen hero. Each hero has their own unique abilities and design, meaning there’s a hero to match everyone’s style of play. Heroes complete objectives to collect gold like killing minions, downing towers or annihilating enemy heroes. As a hero collects more gold, they can buy items from the shop that influence their heroes in interesting ways - allowing them to teleport to new locations, go invisible, freeze time and more.
Items also allow a hero to get more powerful (strength, attack speed, health and various other attributes). Unlike most MOBAs, Predecessor puts you into the heart of the action.
Omeda Studios announced that the official launch of the Predecessor Closed Beta Test on PlayStation is accompanied by a fiery new playable Hero: the duo of Iggy & Scorch.
Starting today, all players that have registered on the official Closed Beta page will receive a code to their email addresses and will be able to download the game and access the PlayStation Closed Beta right away. Predecessor supports cross platform gameplay, so PlayStation 4 & 5 gamers will be able to play with each other, as well as with Predecessor’s robust PC community. Although the Beta requires registration, it is open to and completely free for anyone who completes the simple form on the official Closed Beta page, and codes will be distributed as quickly as possible to new registrations throughout the beta test.
More than 50,000 players have already registered for the Closed Beta Test since the process was opened, and Omeda Studios is extremely excited to learn and improve from the data gathered during this wide-scale closed beta test.
Double Trouble: Iggy & Scorch join the Beta!
To celebrate the launch of this PlayStation Closed Beta, Omeda Studios is thrilled to announce the arrival of Iggy & Scorch, a new Hero that completes the roster of more that 30+ Heroes. This new Hero is in fact a partnership: two fiery fiends that have come here to burn down their rivals (and anything else they can set on fire!) with Molotov cocktails, fire breath, and a cornucopia of explosives. Iggy & Scorch will be available starting on the 5th of December, 2023 for players on all platforms to bring the heat on the battlefield!
A closer look to Iggy & Scorch abilities:
- Basic Attack - Spew
- Primary - Flame Turret

Currently available in Early Access through Steam and Epic Games Store, Predecessor is coming to PC (Steam / Epic Games Store), PS4, PS5 and Xbox, and will be Free-to-Play at launch
