Omeda Studios :
(LONDON, UK) – March 08, 2023 – After a very successful Closed Beta period, Omeda Studios, a community-founded studio created by Robbie Singh, will launch the MOBA Predecessor into Open Beta on Thursday, March 28 for PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 4/5. 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 is a fast-paced action-MOBA title that combines strategic thinking and teamwork with pulse-pounding combat. Two teams of five players choose from a roster of more than 30 unique Heroes and fight to protect their bases while working together to take down the enemy team’s base. During the fight, players earn XP to unlock and level up powerful abilities, while collecting gold to buy items to help them defeat the enemy team.
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. More than 400,000 players are already playing Predecessor in Steam Early Access and in a free closed beta on PlayStation. Predecessor is going fully F2P as part of an Open Beta starting on March 28th.
In the latest dev diary, Robbie Singh delves deeper into the game coming to Xbox consoles with all the same features found on Steam and PlayStation in addition to crossplay. Localization is also a priority as global PC players can enjoy the game in French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and simplified Chinese - Xbox and PlayStation will receive language support shortly after. Robbie also discusses upcoming visual improvements, new item slots, a new secret game mode including the heavily-requested ranked mode, and more.

Key Features:
Truly Unique Gameplay - With the core of a MOBA but the mechanics of a third-person shooter/brawler, Predecessor offers a visceral experience that other MOBAs lack, while rewarding teamwork and strategy in a way many shooters overlook.
Over 30 playable characters - Predecessor’s deep character roster contains over 30 unique Heroes with distinct play styles and abilities.
The Only Unreal Engine 5 MOBA - Created in Unreal Engine 5, Predecessor is the only MOBA to be developed in Unreal’s latest engine. This new state-of-the-art game engine produces high-resolution and high-fidelity graphics for current and previous gen consoles.
Play with Friends, No Matter Where They Are - Predecessor was developed with both console and PC gamers in mind with cross-play functionality so friends can play together regardless of their platform.
Earnable In-Game Content - Predecessor features a ton of rewards, including custom skins, for players to earn or purchase with in-game currency.
