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.

Predecessor was built on the foundation of Paragon which was originally developed by Epic Games but was shut down in 2018. Thanks to Omeda Studios, they are breathing new life into the MOBA genre with Predecessor. Players can enter the Open Beta on March 28 through Predecessor’s Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation and Xbox Store pages.

Predecessor was born from the ashes of Epic Games’ now-defunct MOBA Paragon. In 2020, Paragon’s most dedicated player and content creator Robbie Singh created Omeda Studios not only to bring back Paragon’s legacy, but to evolve it more with Predecessor. Building upon Paragon’s existing visual assets, Omeda Studios overhauled the game’s maps, gameplay mechanics, characters and more for something new and improved that stays true to the heart of Paragon.

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.

Developer Omeda Studios launched its MOBA Predecessor into Open Beta today for free on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store), PlayStation 4/5 and Xbox Series X|S; this is the first time Xbox players get to jump into the game.

Kicking things off with the Open Beta, crossplay debuts where PC, PlayStation and Xbox players can jump in together for fast-paced, third-person MOBA action.

PC players globally can now enjoy the game in French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and simplified Chinese.

Xbox and PlayStation  will receive language support shortly after. Languages will continue to be implemented through development. 2024 will also see constant visual improvements, the heavily-requested ranked mode, a new secret game mode, matchmaking, new skins and item reworks.

“Predecessor has been such a labor of love, not just for me but for all of us at Omeda Studios and the fact that we launched the Open Beta today is a testament to our dedication but most importantly, audiences’ love for the game,” said Robbie Singh, Omeda CEO. “Our goal was to elevate the MOBA genre into something fresh and enticing that players haven’t seen before, like the third-person perspective. We already amassed over 400,000 players on Steam Early Access and now that the game is available for PC, PlayStation, and now Xbox players, we can’t wait to see that number grow as more audiences jump into our game. 2024 is going to be a monumental year for us and we can’t wait to share what we have coming up. Stay tuned!”
