We're pleased to share that full Account Linking and Account Migration is now available, allowing you to transfer game progress between platforms.

[h2]Account Migration[/h2]
In order to move game data from one platform to another:

1. Log in to My Account at www.predecessorgame.com using the account you wish to migrate to a different platform. This account will serve as your master account. Any accounts linked to your master account will have their data deleted and replaced by data from your master account For example - to migrate PlayStation game data to a new platform, you’d need to log in via PlayStation.
2. Link the new platform you want to migrated your account data over to such as Epic Games, Steam or Xbox. If there’s existing game data associated with the account you’re trying to link to, it will be deleted and replaced by data from your master account.
   For more information on linking accounts, read our support article on Account Linking.
3. Load up the newly linked platform. Your progress and account data will have been migrated!
   

[h2]Account Preservation[/h2]
Any accounts you link will have their data and progress overwritten and replaced by data from the master account. Merging accounts to combine game data is not currently possible.
For example, if you are migrating PS4 data to Steam and connect it to a Steam account that already has game data, the pre-existing Steam data will be deleted and replaced by the PS4 data.
Additionally you may only link to an account that has not already been linked to another account.
At this time account unlinking is not supported. Be sure to take care when linking accounts.
If you mistakenly link an account or need any additional help, please contact our Support team for assistance.


In 1.2, we introduced new level-up rewards for each level up to level 20. At the time however, we were unable to retroactively grant these rewards to players at higher levels.
This is corrected with the launch of 1.3. When you log in after updating you’ll receive a reward pop-up with all the missed level-up rewards added to your account.
Thank you for your patience and enjoy your rewards!


With the release of 1.3, several requested improvements are coming to Draft including the ability to swap Roles, Heroes, and Draft Order with your allies.

[h2]How Swapping Works[/h2]

• Players must first select the type of swap they’d like to request and then choose the ally they wish to swap with.
  
• The requested player must accept the swap for it to take effect.
  

[h2]Types of Swaps[/h2]
[h3]Role Swapping[/h3]

• Available for the entire duration of the draft.
  
• Swaps the role (Offlane/Jungle/Midlane/Carry/Support) of the two players.
  

This feature is particularly important as the Hunt item is tied to the player's role in Draft.

[h3]Hero Swapping[/h3]

• Only available once both players have locked in their Heroes.
  
• The swap exchanges the locked-in Heroes between the two players.
  
• Both players need to have the Hero unlocked.
  

[h3]Position Swapping[/h3]

• Only available if you haven’t yet locked in a Hero.
  
• The swap exchanges the position in the draft order between the two players.
  

Players can perform swaps as many times as they like, provided both players agree to each swap.
These improvements are designed to provide greater flexibility and teamwork during Draft, ensuring a smoother and more collaborative experience.


One of the most popular requests we’ve received is for Ranked Mode to be available 24/7. And guess what? We heard you loud and clear!
While we’re not yet ready to make Ranked Mode permanently available at all times, we’ve made the necessary preparations to run a 24/7 Ranked Mode trial for a limited time.
Starting with the release of V1.3, Ranked Mode will be open around the clock on NA and EU servers for 14 days. We’ll let you know in advance via our social channels when the trial is set to end.
We’d greatly appreciate your feedback on your experience with Ranked “after hours”—particularly during the timeframes when it wasn’t previously available.


Outer Towers have received some upgrades! 
From the start of a match, they are now Fortified until the 15-minute mark. During this time, Towers have Plated Healthbars, meaning each time you damage them down to 75%/50%/25%/0% of their Health, you will be rewarded with additional gold that will drop nearby on the floor.
Be warned though, each time you destroy a Plated Segment, the Tower will become more durable, while also summoning a temporary Barrier that grants it an even larger increase in Armor for 10s based on the number of Enemy Heroes near it when a Plate is destroyed. This means that while additional rewards are on offer to players bold enough to damage their enemy’s Outer Towers, they must carefully choose whether to back off after destroying a Plate, or risk hitting through the additional durability for even more Gold!
Overall, the Tower Fortification mechanic will provide you with greater potential for reward when playing for Tower damage over making roams in the earlier stages of a match. As with any new gameplay feature, some balance tuning may be required in subsequent updates, but for now we’re excited to see the new range of tactics and strategies as a result of this change!

[h2]Tower Fortification - Mechanics Breakdown:[/h2]
- Outer Towers are now Fortified with Plates for the first 15-minutes of a match.

• After 15m, Tower Fortification is removed and Outer Towers revert to normal.
  

- While Fortified, Outer Towers have Plated Health Bars at 25% intervals.
- At each 25% damage threshold, it will drop 2 Gold Pick-ups onto the ground.
* Each Gold Pick-up grants 55g (110g per Plate).
+ Gold Pickups travel to the furthest away Ally Player in the Enemy Tower’s Range
+ If no player is in Range when a Plate is destroyed the gold will fall to the edge of the Outer Tower’s range.
+ Upon pick up, Gold is shared equally with all nearby Allies within a 2000u radius.
+ Only Allies may pick up the Gold for their respective team.
+ Gold Pick-ups last for 25s before disappearing from the world.
- Upon destroying a portion of the Fortified Tower, it generates a defensive Barrier, gaining temporarily increased Armors for a short duration based on the Number of Nearby Enemy Heroes at the time of activation.
* Barrier Duration: 10s.
* Barrier Enemy Hero Detection Radius: 2000u.
* Barrier Bonus Armors: 
+ 0-1 nearby Heroes: +80.
+ 2 nearby Heroes: +140.
+ 3 nearby Heroes: +200.
+ 4 nearby Heroes: +280.
+ 5 nearby Heroes: +400.

- Fortified Outer Towers have generically increased Armors based on the amount of Plated Segments remaining:
* 4 Segments Remaining: +20.
* 3 Segments Remaining: +35.
* 2 Segments Remaining: +50.
* 1 Segments Remaining: +65.
+ This is additive to the normal Tower Armor both pre and post-8m.


[h2]All Towers[/h2]
- Additionally, All Towers and Inhibitors no longer grant Local Gold to nearby Killers upon death. 
- Instead, Tower Local Gold is now dropped as 2 Gold Pick-ups for ALL TOWERS on destruction (or Final Plate Kill). 
* These grant the same amount of Local Gold as normal and share it among nearby Allies from the location it was acquired (2000u).



We’ve added 14 brand-new items to the in-game shop—plus a returning classic!



[h2]New Stat: Ultimate Haste:[/h2]
Ultimate Haste is a new stat that is offered on some Items. It works similar to Ability Haste, but it is only applied to your Ultimate Ability’s Cooldown Calculation, instead of all Abilities. 
For example, if you have 10 Ability Haste, and 15 Ultimate Haste, your Ultimate effectively has 25 Total Haste’s worth of Cooldown Reduction, but your Basic Abilities only have 10 Ability Haste worth of Cooldown Reduction.

[h2]Editor's Note:[/h2]
For those of you that follow our social channels, you’ll know that we previously mentioned our hope to add 18 new items in this update.
Unfortunately however, some of those extra items didn't quite meet our balance/gameplay integrity checks during the testing phase and were thus shelved for the time being.


Bonesaw.

[h2]New Store Section - Extras[/h2]

Some of you may know that for a while we’ve spoken about a new section of the store, specifically for smaller cosmetics and a place where you can use Amber or Platinum to pick up the little things you might be missing from your collection.

V1.2 will see this new section of the store, the new Extras tab, finally become reality - becoming the #1 destination for standalone effects, emotes and menu cosmetics.



Be sure to take a look!

[h2]Purchasing Variants[/h2]
It’s now possible to buy Skin Variants outside of bundles for all new variants added to the game.

Currently only the new Apocalyptic Khaimera variants are available to purchase this way, but as time goes on more and more variants will be available this way too.

Note, you must own the base Skin that a Variant is based on in order to purchase a Skin Variant in this way.

[hr][/hr]



[h2]Overhead Emotes[/h2]
One such cosmetic available in the new Extras tab are a new type of emote, Overhead Emotes.



Overhead Emotes are small icons that you can display over your Hero’s head for a short time to communicate with others. Flash a wave at the enemy, wow at your teammates, or perhaps even taunt your enemies with something completely irrelevant and distracting - the choice is up to you!

[h2]Emote Wheel[/h2]

With so many ways to express yourself, we've also taken the opportunity to add another highly requested feature - a brand-new, fully-customizable Emote Wheel!

The Emote Wheel is an in game quick-menu that lets you quickly select from a range of pre-selected sprays and other emotes. Not only does this mean you can now go into battle with more sprays than ever before, giving you versatility to pick different ones for different moments, but we've also upped the limit you can deploy before they vanish, meaning you can now place up to 4 sprays on the map at once.

You can equip or change your selection under the Profile tab in the Main Menu, and in game you can pull up the wheel by simply holding down the existing Spray button.

[h2]Communication Wheel Improvements[/h2]
The Communication Wheel has also been give a once-over this update.

We've updated the selection of options, taking out some pings based on your feedback or that we commonly saw get misused, while also adding some brand new phrases such as "Never surrender!", "Stand and fight" and "Out of mana". We've also re-recorded some.

Check out some of the new pings below and let us know what you think when you start using them in game!

[hr][/hr]



Following player feedback, we've made several changes to Ranked Mode:

• Inter-division promotion games removed: Players with over 100 VP will be automatically promoted between Divisions III, II, and I.
  
• Promotion games between Ranks (e.g., Silver I → Gold III) remain.
  
• VP progression for Platinum and Diamond Ranks has been adjusted for faster advancement.
  
• Paragon Rank VP updates standardized for equal gains and losses.

[h2]Arcshot Gateways[/h2]

Arcshot Gateways have been added to Sanctuary, located in new sections of the map near the Gold Buff in the Duo Lane and the Cyan Buff in Offlane. These new structures allow Heroes to ‘Arcshot’ from one side of the map to the other, quickly flying over the battlefield before landing at the gateway on the other side just a few short seconds later!



Once they become active at the 10 minute mark, Heroes can stand on them for a short amount of time to activate them. Beware though, there’s a cooldown for each player that uses them so think carefully about when’s the best time to take to the skies!

Arcshot Gateways will provide new strategic and tactical opportunities for players to consider and take advantage of in any given match, whether that’s new ganking opportunities, creative new rotations, or simply providing splitpushers with a new angle.

Naturally there will be balance concerns regarding this feature. We’ll be monitoring your feedback on Arcshot Gateways and considering any additional improvements that may be required for the future!


[h3]Core Mechanics:[/h3]

• Initial Arcshot Gateway Activation Time: 10 Minutes.
  
• Arcshot Gateway Charge-up Time: 2.5 seconds.
  
• Arcshot Gateway Travel Time: 4 seconds.
  
• Arcshot Gateway Cooldown: 3 Minutes, per Hero. (This information is displayed on the Mini-map and in the Player’s Buff Bar.)
  

[h3]Arcshot Gateway Activation Rules:[/h3]

• Once Arcshot Gateways become active at 10 minutes, stand on one for 2.5 seconds to charge it up.
  
• Upon fully charging an Arcshot Gateway, become immune to Damage and Crowd Control effects, and travel to the other Arcshot Gateway.
  
• If an Enemy stands on top of the Arcshot Gateway while you are also on the Gateway, it will be contested, pausing the charge progress.
  
• Example: You stand on the Arcshot Gateway for 1 second, and an Enemy contests it. You still have 1.5 seconds of uncontested time until you can travel through the Gateway.
  
• Arcshot Gateways that are either fully or partially charged will decay their charge at the same rate if there is no Hero actively standing on them.
  

[h2]Fangtooth & Orb Prime Pit Changes[/h2]
The Fangtooth and Orb Prime pits have received changes to their geometry to open up the areas, reducing the sense of claustrophobia experienced when fighting in the area and providing more opportunities to join the fight!



The ledge within the Fangtooth and Orb Prime Pits has been levelled, providing for a more open fighting area. This gives Heroes equal opportunities, reduces instances of camera clipping and ensures more accurate use of Area of Effect Abilities.

Additionally, a nearby wall at the entrance of the pits has been changed to a new half wall, providing the area with a greater feeling of openness and allowing for more vertical play to occur in the area, with ground targeting and mobility all able to be used over the wall.

[hr][/hr]



[h2]AFK Detection[/h2]
Following feedback we've made a series of changes to improve our AFK detection system, meaning we have new and more effective ways to take action against players going idle in the base (or just tabbing out or abandoning the game for extended periods of time).



This improved detection should reduce the number of ruined matches from AFK'ing, ensuring a smoother and better experience for everyone.

[h2]AFK Match Cancellations[/h2]
If a player is considered AFK for too long in the first 5 minutes of the game, the match will now automatically cancel and the offending player will be punished.



All other players receive no rewards or penalties when a game is cancelled in this way.

[h2]Player Report Feedback[/h2]
We’ve also introduced a new feedback notification off the back of player reports, which will let you know if a report you've made against another player has contributed to a ban or similar action.



We went into detail about this feature in our latest Toxicity Report, check it out here.

[hr][/hr]



[h2]Main Menu Visual Improvements[/h2]
We’ve heard your feedback and have been quietly tinkering away on an all-new main menu UI. The new menu pays homage to Predecessor's original look, while feeling more polished, immersive and fluid than ever before!

We hope you'll find this new version of the menu not only more visually appealing but also more user-friendly.

Take a look and as always, we’re keen to hear your feedback!

[h2]Match History[/h2]
You can now view your recent match history in the new Matches tab of the Main Menu.



You’ll be able to see key insights such as the match result, your K/D/A and which items you used, as well as all of the end-of-match information you might want to look back on.

From there you can also send friend invites or report offending players.

[h2]Watch Tab Merged[/h2]
The Watch tab has been merged into the new Matches tab, meaning replays are now accessible via your match history.

There's also additional tabs to view your friends' replays or to search for a specific replay.

[h2]Learn Tab & Tutorial Videos[/h2]
Got a friend who's new to the game? Perhaps you're a fresh addition to Predecessor yourself and are looking for ways to level up your playstyle.

A new “Learn” Tab has been added to the Main Menu, providing everyone with a selection of short tutorial videos that explain everything you need to know to get started with Predecessor.

[h2]Top Ranked Leaderboard[/h2]
Battle it out for the top spots with in-game leaderboards for Ranked!



The all-new Top Ranked tab will display the top 500 Ranked players, as well as their platform, Profile Icon and Banner.

Note, due to PlayStation compliance requirements, this feature will be unavailable on the platform in 1.2 We're currently aiming to deliver it in 1.3, but stay tuned for updates.

[h2]Draft Purchasing[/h2]
Forgotten to pick up a newly released Hero or a skin before heading into draft? No problem!



You can now purchase any unowned Skins and Heroes directly in the draft screen.

[h2]Match Found Audio[/h2]
We've added new audio that plays when you find a match.

It's now much more noticeable that a match has been found and that people are waiting for you to accept the match - ideal for anyone guilty of holding things up because you've tabbed out to watch a funny cat video and missed the match prompt.

[hr][/hr]



[h2]Basic Attack Projectile Speed Increases[/h2]
Basic Attack projectile speed for all Ranged Heroes has been nearly tripled, creating a smoother and more responsive combat experience.


[h2]Buff Transfers[/h2]
Certain Buffs will now be transferred when a Player kills an Enemy Hero possessing an active Red or Blue buff.

These transferred buffs function the same as if you had acquired them normally but last for a slightly reduced duration.

This change offers new strategic opportunities to gain buffs in new ways while helping protect against early Jungle invasions and giving players the chance to recover a stolen buff.

Let us know what you think!

• Sanctuary Buffs: Red and Blue Buffs transfer with a reduced duration of 45 seconds.
  
• Brawl Buffs: Purple and Brown Buffs transfer with a reduced duration of 25 seconds.
  

[h2]Enhanced Recall[/h2]
Mini-Orb and Orb Prime Buffs now grant their owners an Enhanced Recall effect, reducing the time it takes to Recall to Base from 8s to 4s for the duration of their corresponding Buffs.

[h2]Enhanced River Bugs[/h2]
Rivers Bugs are fighting back, now growing in size and becoming stronger at the 21 minute mark. After they grow, they have increased durability and damage, but provide increased rewards and Buff effects when killed.

These larger River Bugs will provide a greater point of contention in the later stages of the match after Orb Prime spawns on the battlefield, adding a further layer of strategy and signalling that it’s time to transition away from the laning phase.

A full breakdown of the new rewards can be found in the Balance Notes below.

[hr][/hr]



[h2]Additional Hero Voice Lines[/h2]
Shhhh! The Heroes are talking!

We've updated all Heroes with a range of new voice lines, which each trigger in reaction to various new in-game events and situations. This should give each Hero more personality while making them feel more alive and more firmly anchored into the heat of battle.

We won't spoil the new voice lines here - keep an ear out and let us know what new lines you hear!

[h2]Tower Danger Visual Effects[/h2]
Towers now display their Attack Range via a snazzy new visual glow that surrounds how far they can shoot. Better still, the colour of this new glow will be change based on tower’s aggression status!

This should make it easier to see when you're in danger!

[h2]Brawl Mode - Hero Freedom[/h2]
Ever wanted to watch the world burn with a battlefield full of Iggy & Scorchs? We did too!

At long last you can now select multiple of the same Hero in Brawl, meaning your wildest fantasies of 5v5 all Phases, each yeeting one another into oblivion can at last play out.



Editor's Note: Enjoy this fresh new type of chaos but be warned - we fully expect some unexpected and downright unbalanced behaviour or bugs as you fill the map with Morigesh Ults etc.

[h2]PlayStation Improvements[/h2]
Promised improvements are here for the PlayStation 5 users! These include:

• Trophies
  
• 120 FPS mode
  
• Mouse & Keyboard Support
  
• Initial Localisation
  

[h2]New Level-Up Rewards[/h2]
We've added new level-up rewards up to Level 20. Already Level 20 or higher? We'll be retroactively adding these to accounts in a later patch.



[hr][/hr]



[h2]Winterfest returns on December 3rd![/h2]
Winterfest is back for 2024, and it's bigger and better than ever before!

This year's event starts on December 3rd and features a brand new Battlepass loaded with free and premium festive rewards that you can earn by getting stuck in to the event.



Consider this a heads up - we'll go into full details and showcase all the rewards and event features a little closer to the time!

[h2]Twitch Drops[/h2]
Missed out on Blueberry Punk Countess earlier in the year? We’re bringing the skin variant back for an encore!

Tune in to any Predecessor Twitch stream to earn these freebies!

[h2]Exclusive Skins[/h2]

That’s right, 1.0 brings even more skins than we've already mentioned!

These skins won't be available in the store however; each will be made available in unique and exclusive ways!

[h3]Ace Mechanic Gadget [Skin][/h3]

The original tinkerer returns!



This skin will be exclusively available as a FREE reward for connecting an email address to your Predecessor account! For more information scroll down to the Account Linking section.

[h3]Lumin Undertow Rampage [Skin][/h3]

Light the depths with deadly and dazzling luminescence!



This skin will be made available as part of a platform collaboration. Keep an eye on our socials for more information!



[h2]Availability[/h2]

With 1.0 arriving we're expanding the availability of Ranked Mode. The following will be the new hours for Ranked Mode as of August 20.

EU:
Weekends 10 UTC – 00 UTC (14 hours total)
+1hr before and +1hr after

Weekdays 13 UTC – 00 UTC (11 hours total)
+1hr before and +2hr after

NA
Weekends 15 UTC – 06 UTC (15 hours total)
+1hr before and +2hr after

Weekdays 18 UTC – 06 UTC (12 hours total)
+1hr before and +3hr after

[h3]Improvements[/h3]

Following our recent hotfix, we're still working on ironing out some small bugs in the Ranked game mode.

1.0 will address another of these issue, this time rebalancing VP values at certain ranks, to remove cases where players losses a lot more VP then they gained.



Our first implementation of Account Linking is finally here!

Shortly after our 1.0 update you'll notice a new button on the Predecessor website; "My Account".

Clicking this button will take you to the Predecessor Social Portal, our first iteration of your player account portal. As time goes by and we add more features we'll also work on polishing it up a bit.

For now all you'll be able to do is add an email address to your account, and connect it to Discord and Twitch.

Doing so will unlock exclusive rewards:

• Connecting to Discord will grant you the highly anticipated Early Access Support role if you purchased an Early Access Bundle.
  
• Connecting to Twitch will let you earn Twitch rewards, granting you exclusive sprays, icons, skins and more just for watching your favourite creators.
  
• Connecting your email will sign you up to the Predecessor mailing list, and grant you access to the exclusive original Gadget skin, Ace Mechanic.

The team are still hard at work adding the option to link game accounts between Xbox, Steam, Epic and PlayStation. We weren't able to deliver this in time for 1.0 but we hope to update the Account Linking portal with this extra functionality soon.



The first decision many of us make in Predecessor is which role we want to play. It’s crucial therefore that players feel informed at this early stage of gameplay, especially for new players who might need a little more information.

We’ve overhauled the Role Select process, making the whole thing much more visual and informative. You’ll now be told which side of the map you’ll be playing for, and be presented with an interactive map overview showing which lane each role is associated with and some of the more important objectives and buffs you should be considering.

Additionally we’ve added handy tips to make it easier to understand each role’s play styles, and when playing against AI newer players will be prompted to first ‘unlock’ (at no cost) the Jungle and Fill roles to make it clearer that these roles are more complicated than others.





New MOBAs can be tricky to wrap your head around, especially if you’re new to the genre. We’ve used this opportunity to make a number of improvements to the Hero selection process, such as:

◆Recommended Heroes
◆Clearer class categories (Mage, Tank etc)
◆Better Hero sorting
◆Tabs to replace filters
◆New icons for Heroes on free rotation
◆Simplified information about Hero Abilities
◆Added controller support for easier navigation
◆Added flavour text for each Hero



New Pre-Match Loading Screens
We do our best to ensure Predecessor loads nice and quickly, but inevitably there’s going to be times when you’re faced with a, gulp.. loading screen!

We want these screens to be helpful for new players and existing players alike, giving you the information you need alongside handy tips and an estimate of how long until you’ll get into the match.

Here’s some of what we’ve done:

◆Added tips specific to the role you’re playing
◆Added a loading bar and text to explain what’s going on behind the scenes
◆Added the map, so you can see which lane you need to focus and relevant objectives
◆Added which side you’ll be playing on
◆Added the map name and game mode
◆Added which role each player is playing in and who they’re up against
◆Added new loading backgrounds that change based on the game mode you’re playing





When you spend as much time on a game map as we do you know it’s important to feel immersed in it.

All game maps now have official, canon names.

Classic 5v5 = Sanctuary
Brawl = Canyon
Practice = Sirio

We’ve also been busy making some improvements to the Sanctuary map!

◆We’ve removed many invisible boundaries that previously blocked traversal above many of the internal walls. Characters with high mobility can enjoy more freedom and verticality than ever!

◆We’ve overhauled the foliage across the map! The Jungles now feel more vibrant and densely vegetated, with specific prominent flowers to help differentiate each one. Not a fan? You can toggle this feature off too!

◆We’ve added a new tree in the rivers to provide a little more protection and vision blocking from those pesky Middle to Side-lanes!

◆There’s been some minor adjustments to the map in a few places to help with traversal and gameplay flow.

◆We’ve improved some of the textures and lighting to really let the map shine like never before!

There's various other improvements to reflections, textures and more, so head in game and check it out!





As previously mentioned, MOBAs like Predecessor can pose quite the learning curve for new players. We’re excited to release new gameplay automations that’ll take the edge off of that learning experience, letting new players instead focus on learning the map, their character and the overall controls and gameplay of Predecessor.

◆Added new gameplay automations
◆Automatic Hero Levelling
◆Automatic Crest Selection

That’s not all though, we’ve made these automations much more visual than ever before. Now you’ll now get notified in game with fancy little pop ups every time the game takes an action on your behalf. Respawned and noticed your Gold count just went down? You’ll now be told exactly what has been bought and for how much!

Added new pop ups to communicate the gameplay automations



These new automations are on by default for new players and can be toggled individually in the settings menu.



We think it’s important that everyone gets fairly credited for their contributions in a fight, even if all Muriel did was poke at the enemy and then run for the hills after.

1.0 adds little indicators after a kill to show you who helped secure the takedown, giving you not only more opportunities to celebrate your own teamwork, but handy game knowledge if you’re keeping tabs on who in the enemy team left their lane to help kill one of your own…





It’s great to play with friends, but sometimes you can find yourself hurtling into the fight with someone you’ve never met before, with no time to type in chat.

Enter the ping wheel!

Many of you already make good use of this feature, so we’ve taken the opportunity to give it a little more oomph, adding complete voice over support for each of the messages you can select, as well as adding a few new ones too for communicating key information like Blink availability!

Worried about hearing GOOD JOB spammed passive aggressively over and over? Fret not! There’s cooldowns on the voiceover to reduce spam and you can turn it off altogether in the settings.





Knowing what’s going on is crucial to making informed decisions in the heat of the moment. With this in mind, we’ve added a bunch of helpful new chat messages that pop up each time a player does something noteworthy that we think you might need to know about.

Slayed another Hero? That’s going in chat, along with how much Bounty you earned doing it.

Enemy taken one of your towers? That’s going in chat too, specifically detailing which one too.

Fangtooth spawned? You’d best believe that’s also going in chat. Never lose track of when Objectives spawn in, or what they do thanks to handy new messages.

Obviously there’s a great deal more to be found so we encourage you to keep an eye on the chat logs in your next match to see how much handy information you can find there now.





The post match sequence is also getting some love in 1.0, with a clearer breakdown of who you played with and what roles they played.



That’s not all however, you can also now select a player in this screen and report them as you would normally do in game!



There's more visual improvements to be found in these screens, with polish and upgrades across the board to the players and stats screens you encounter after each game. Take a look and let us know what you think!



We’ve added Twitch Drops functionality to Predecessor!

Now you can unlock in game rewards just for supporting your favourite content creators on Twitch!

Our first collection of Twitch Drops will become available on August 20 alongside the game update, and will feature the highly anticipated Blueberry Punk Countess Skin Variant featured in a previous key art but never released until now!

This skin, alongside a spray and profile icon, will be exclusive to Twitch Drops, so be sure to tune in if you want to get your hands on these freebies before they’re gone!



We’ll be making a dedicated webpage on predecessorgame.com with more information on how to participate in Twitch Drops, so watch our socials for more and go follow some of our awesome Predecessor streamers over on Twitch!



[h2]The Tutorial now has additional Voice Over and Narration.[/h2]

We hope this will help make the tutorial more accessible, memorable and more easily understood by new players joining us for 1.0.

This is just the start of our improvements to our tutorials, so keep an eye out for more improvements in the coming months!

[h2]Attack Range Text Improvements[/h2]

Attack Range “Out of Range” Text now dynamically scales and changes to “Move Closer” with subsequent misses.

[h2]Minimap Size Options[/h2]

The Minimap may now be scaled larger or smaller in the Settings menu.

[h2]Targeting Visual Improvements[/h2]

Target outline boldness has been increased, and can now be scaled in the Settings menu.

[h2]Code Redemption[/h2]

We’ve added a new menu to the Store where you can put special codes in to get free goodies! Follow our socials, play community tournaments and become a positive influence in the Predecessor community to earn codes!

[h2]Performance & Connection Stability Improvements[/h2]

We've been hard at work under the hood to make Predecessor more stable and performative than ever before!



Check out our website for the full list of changes!



Phew, not a bad haul for 1.0 right?

As we’ve discussed before, we do not see Predecessor as finished, and look forward to continuing to bring you more and more features, improvements and bug fixes for a long time to come.

Please be vocal with your feedback and let us know what you’re most looking forward to in our 1.0 update!

Lastly we wanted to take the time to thank each and every one of you for your love and support over the years. Predecessor wouldn't be here today if it weren't for your enthusiasm and passion. We're proud to be celebrating our 1.0 milestone with the most incredible community we could have hoped for, and we're even more excited to continue developing Predecessor alongside you long into the future!

Until next time!
