What is Predecessor?
Predecessor is a third-person action MOBA(Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) game built in Unreal Engine 5. It has been in early access on PC for about a year. On Steam it has gained mostly positive reviews from players. Here’s the official description of the game:
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. The third-person perspective fully immerses players into the game as enemies appear from shadow walls, over ledges or behind them.
Predecessor’s PlayStation closed beta starts on December 5th. Make sure to sign up if you are interested. You can find out more about Predecessor on the game’s official website.
