Omeda Studios Was Part of Opening Night Live at gamescom Where it Dropped the Predecessor Launch Trailer

(LONDON, UK) – August 20, 2024 – Today, Omeda Studios, a community-founded studio created by Robbie Singh, launched their third-person MOBA, Predecessor! After years of development, its March 2024 Open Beta pushed the player count to over 1.5  million strong. Today, players will be able to dive into version 1.0 on PC via Steam, Epic Games Store; and on console via PlayStation 4/5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Predecessor’s Opening Night Live launch trailer found below:

“To say that we are beyond thrilled to have Predecessor launch into 1.0 would be an understatement,”  said Robbie Singh, Omeda CEO. “When we took on this dream of building Predecessor intowhat it is today, we knew the challenges and time required from us to not only develop a unique third-person MOBA that we wanted to experience but what the community expected from us. For over six years, we worked directly with the community to help us develop Predecessor, so we want to thank them for their ongoing support, commitment and love for the game. Today may be the game’s launch, but our work is just starting as we’ll be continuously building upon this amazing MOBA and looking forward to sharing what we have coming down the road.” 

Predecessor was born from the ashes of Epic Games’ 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 into something more. 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. Predecessor’s key features include: 

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 35 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. 

Predecessor can be downloaded for free on PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation 4/5 and Xbox Series X|S. The various Bundles can be purchased at the following prices: Legendary Bundle – $49.99, Epic Bundle – $30, Rare Bundle – $19.99.
