[h2]Coming Soon: V1.11 - Health & Stability - Submissions[/h2][p][/p][p]It’s rare that we talk about the patch after the next one this early. In fact, this probably is the first time!  But this is a special case.[/p][p]The Health & Stability Patch (V1.11) - arriving 13 January - is our first dedicated “health” update, focused on addressing the issues that most impact your game experience. We’ve heard your feedback: some things need attention before we push further. We have a dev-side shortlist, but we also want your input. We’re announcing this early so you have time to submit requests - and so we have time to work through them.[/p][p]Submit your suggestions in our Discord’s dedicated forum channel - perfect chance to join if you haven’t already. Once there, head to #patch-1-11-have-your-say to share your ideas, and please read the posting guidelines before you post.[/p][p]Please read a dedicated blog for more info.

[p]It may feel a little early to start talking about the new year, but this one's been such a popular request from our community that we wanted to get started on it now![/p][p][/p][h2]1.11 - Health & Stability[/h2][p]Update 1.11 launches in January 2026 and our focus will be on the health and stability of the game.[/p][p][/p][p]2025 has been an incredible year for Predecessor, packed full of major updates and new content for everyone to enjoy. But we've heard the feedback loud and clear - a focus on bugs, stability and quality of life would be great for everyone.[/p][p]The idea of an update dedicated to health & stability has been floating around the community for a little while now, it's clear you want us to squash some bugs, and we do too.[/p][p][/p][h2]The Details[/h2][p]Update 1.11 will focus primarily on:[/p]

• [p]Stability (crashes and server hiccups)[/p]
• [p]Bugs that negatively impact the experience[/p]
• [p]Quality of life changes[/p]

[p]This doesn't mean there won't be more exciting content in the patch though! You can expect a new Hero, that you may find fits in pretty well with the whole "health" theme... alongside new skins, balance updates and more.[/p][p][/p][h2]Have Your Say[/h2][p]This is where you come in! We have a list of issues we know we'd like to address, but we also want to make sure we’re tackling the things that matter most to you.[/p][p]We've created a dedicated Discord forum where everyone can submit the issues they feel has a negative impact on their experience. It could be a UI bug, an ability behaving strangely, some unexpected visual oddities, and more - we want to know.[/p][p]You’ll also be able to react to other players’ posts with an upvote or downvote to help us see which issues matter most to the community.[/p][p]Join the discussion on Discord[/p][p][/p][h2]Release Date[/h2][p]The holiday season is fast approaching and we want to give our team the time they deserve to take a break and enjoy the festivities. With this in mind, we're aiming to release 1.11 on January 13, roughly four weeks after the 1.10.x patch.[/p][p][/p][h2]What About 1.10?[/h2][p]Have no fear, 1.10 is still cooking and we can't wait to show you more! We'll be dropping more information in the next few weeks, all the way up until launch on November 25.[/p][p][/p][p]That's everything for now, Champions! Head over to the official Discord and have your say on the v1.11 update coming in January![/p]
