About Predecessor

Predecessor delivers a third‑person MOBA that adds true vertical movement, letting players vault over terrain or ascend into the sky to attack. The game features over 45 distinct heroes designed for quick learning yet deep mastery, and it runs on Windows with full controller support.

A competitive community of more than two million players fuels community tournaments and official esports events. Visuals aim for cinematic impact, and development is driven by player polls and live Twitch streams.

01 / THE GUIDE

Vertical Mobility

The map allows players to vault over enemies and structures, and to leave the ground entirely, creating aerial attack opportunities. This mechanic turns walls, roofs and angles into usable tools during fights.

Design encourages players to picture a play and then execute it using the vertical options, adding a layer of positioning depth beyond traditional lane‑based MOBA combat.

  • Try high‑ground positions to gain vision before engaging.
  • Use vaults as quick escapes when surrounded.

02 / THE GUIDE

Hero Roster

Predecessor offers more than 45 playable characters, ranging from stance‑shifters and summoners to gods and soldiers. Each hero is built to be easy to pick up while still offering deep skill ceilings.

The variety lets players choose a character that matches their preferred style, and the game rewards skillful execution regardless of a player’s experience level.

  • Test several heroes in casual matches to discover your comfort zone.
  • Focus on one role at first to learn its core mechanics.

  • Enable higher graphics settings if your hardware can sustain stable FPS.

05 / THE GUIDE

Cross‑Play and Controller Support

Predecessor provides full cross‑play between console and PC, supporting DualShock, DualSense and keyboard‑mouse inputs. Discord voice chat is built in for seamless communication.

This flexibility lets friends team up across platforms without losing control fidelity or callout ability.
