We recently said goodbye to Season 2 in Predecessor. What a wild ride it has been! But this is not a blog if you want to reminisce on the past - check <a href="https://www.predecessorgame.com/blog/predecessor-report-august-2023" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kari’s August Pred Report</a> from last week! We’re looking into the future here! Speaking of the future, it feels like a perfect time to let you know what you can expect in Season 3, doesn’t it?Let’s take a look at Harness the Storm!

 <h2 id="season-structure" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">Season Structure</h2>Season 3 will start on September 12th and will wrap up in early 2024 (we’ll communicate the exact end date a little later). It will consist of 5 main updates released regularly and much like you might expect, each of them is going to bring something new and exciting, 5 new Heroes, and one new original Hero among them! We will also release regular balance patches between each update, as we have done so far.<h2 id="update-frequency" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">Update Frequency</h2>We are making an important change to the release cadence of Season 3. After 0.11, the speed at which we release each patch will slow down slightly. Larger content patches will be roughly every 6 weeks and balance patches will follow them approximately 3 weeks after.The reason for this change is to allow us to focus more on adding the remaining content into the game that is necessary for us to reach our Free-To-Play goals. We will also be using the extra time to streamline our release process for our upcoming console release. After this season we will reassess this new cadence and make adjustments.  <h2 id="the-heroes-of-season-3" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">The Heroes of Season 3</h2>If you follow our social media channels or are a member of our Discord or community subreddit you probably already know that we’re kicking off Season 3 with another fan favourite, Serath! Prepare to handle this new Hero at her best and at her worst next week!The rest of the Heroes for the season remain a closely guarded secret for now, but we will share a hint regarding our next Omeda-Original Hero…Codename: Emerald is a powerful new Hero that has harnessed the energy of the Soul Storm in their pursuit of power.We’re excited to share more about Codename Emerald but for now, you’ll have to wait until further into the season!<h2 id="end-of-season-rewards" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">End of Season Rewards</h2>As has been the case in previous seasons, those of you who play during Season 3 will earn rewards based on the final level you achieve by the end of the season.Additionally (and as we’ve also done in previous seasons), your player level will be reset once again at the end of Season 3. While we’ve discussed before our intentions to avoid this, it’s a necessary step to take at this stage in Early Access while we continue to flesh out the systems surrounding player levels.So let’s talk about those rewards! As always these rewards will be distributed at the end of the season and are still subject to change.Lv. 10 | Exclusive Early Access Season 3 Profile icon Lv. 15 | Exclusive Omeda Hero Profile Icon Lv. 20 | Season Themed Common Hero Skin Lv. 25 | Season Themed Jump Pad VFX Lv. 30 | Season Themed Common Hero Skin Lv. 35 | Season Themed Recall VFX Lv. 40 | Season Themed Common Hero Skin<img alt="sbimp-season-3_player-rewards-1.png" loading="lazy" width="1920" height="218" decoding="async" data-nimg="1" style="color:transparent" src="https://images.ctfassets.net/rm5ymc69vmwz/2JzN3ynaWFPZa4Oip4bMAa/02cfadeee7785e9e0fc0fad4e3700010/season-3_player-rewards-1.png?w=1920&amp;fm=webp"/><h3 id="console-release-playstationr4-and-playstationr5" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">Console Release - PlayStation®4 &amp; PlayStation®5</h3>There you have it - Season 3 is the season when the Predecessor console version will be released! While our aim is to release the game on both Xbox and PlayStation, the submission process for PlayStation is the furthest one along meaning that the game will come out on this platform first. As a reminder, Predecessor will launch on console as an Early Access title. Whilst in Early Access, we will continue to add and change features, iterate, and build on the game just as we have the PC version. Game updates will be synchronized across all platforms.Leaving Early Access will be a big moment for Predecessor, but that milestone will come after Season 3. We’ll talk more about our plans for Free-to-Play at a later time.<div class="pg-separator"></div><h3 id="new-ui-hype" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">New UI Hype!</h3>We’re starting the season off strong with one of the most highly-anticipated improvements to Predecessor - the much talked about new user interface (UI)! The new UI will improve many aspects of Predecessor, but we want to manage expectations that this is an early look at the new UI. While we’re proud of the work we have done, we’re excited to get your feedback to help us improve the UI further! A chunk of the work went into Controller support, and optimizing for new feature development, and might not be apparent from a player-facing point of view. As with all things during our Early Access journey we’ll be iterating and polishing the new UI with every patch, so please be sure to share your thoughts and feedback as time goes on!<div class="pg-separator"></div><h3 id="hero-affinity" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">Hero Affinity</h3>One of the other big additions that you can expect in Season 3 is Hero Affinity, our take on the beloved Hero Mastery system from Paragon. With this system, you’ll be rewarded for spending time mastering each Hero. There will be various rewards, with each tier reflecting the hard work and dedication required to achieve it. From shiny titles that will display on loading screens to exclusive skins, there will be plenty of reasons to level up your favorite Heroes. We’ll share more details about this system soon! <div class="pg-separator"></div><h3 id="hero-acquisition" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">Hero Acquisition </h3>The way that you acquire heroes is also going to change.Before you’ll be able to play with a new Hero, you’ll need to unlock them first. This can be done by playing the game and meeting their unlock criteria, or (if you’d prefer), by simply paying to skip the grind.. We hope this system will be rewarding for those who regularly invest their time into Predecessor while also providing goals for you to work toward.For more information look out for a dedicated Hero Acquisition blog post, coming soon.<div class="pg-separator"></div><h3 id="jungle-ai-improvement" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">Jungle AI Improvement</h3>Playing as a Jungler is about to become even more exciting! We’re planning several improvements to make the fights with Jungle minions more challenging and more thrilling.Minions will be able to exit their camp radius, attack while moving, jump off nearby ledges, and have improved pathfinding! Alongside this we have a larger Jungle rebalance planned to promote more interactive gameplay between the dedicated Junglers and their lane-focused counterparts.We hope that these changes will make the Jungle role even more involved and exciting while adding an extra layer of depth for any Hero who ventures in!<div class="pg-separator"></div><h3 id="new-and-improved-controller-layout" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">New and Improved Controller Layout</h3>What’s one of the most crucial things we can do in preparation for our console launch? Make sure to optimise the controller layout! We’re giving our controller scheme a comprehensive new design, ensuring that players can trigger all of their abilities without needing to take their fingers out of the thumbsticks. Specifically, we’ve optimised the layout with the most used abilities in mind (like Crest and Blink) to make sure they are mapped to the most accessible buttons on the controller. We will share with you the full breakdown closer to the release of this feature.<div class="pg-separator"></div><h3 id="dynamic-ping-system-improvements" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">Dynamic Ping System Improvements</h3>This has been on our list for a while and we’re pleased to confirm that it’s coming in Season 3!It’ll come a little later, but we’re redesigning our pinging system to fit right in with our new user interface. It will have more options to choose from and we think it’ll significantly improve team communication. Telling your teammates what’s going on, and responding and announcing intentions will never have been so quick and easy!<div class="pg-separator"></div><h3 id="player-account-portal" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">Player Account Portal</h3>We’ve been teasing a new Player Account Portal for quite a while - and we’re pleased to share that it’ll finally launch during Season 3!The Player Account Portal is going to be a hub for you to link your Predecessor game account to a variety of other accounts - opening the door for crossplay across different gaming platforms, as well as allowing social connectivity such as linking to Discord which will finally unlock the Early Access role that we promised when we first launched late last year. <div class="pg-separator"></div><h3 id="support-portal-release" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">Support Portal Release</h3>With everything that Predecessor offers, we realize that we do not have technical support to match and this is something that we need to address prior to console release.  We will soon be launching a beta version of our support portal, a place to get technical help quickly and easily. Self-help articles, ticket submissions, and tech assistance will be here to help you every step of the way!<div class="pg-separator"></div><h2 id="season-4-and-beyond" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">Season 4 and beyond</h2>Season 3 is planned to be the last Early Access Season in this format. That doesn’t necessarily mean that we will move out of Early Access at the end of the season, but we do expect that after Season 3 things will be different. More information on this will be shared towards the end of the season!<div class="pg-separator"></div><h2 id="end-of-season-rewards-terms" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">END OF SEASON REWARDS TERMS</h2>◆ Omeda Studios reserves the right to change the content of rewards offered to players. ◆ Omeda Studios reserves the right to not distribute rewards to players if there is any suspected activity that undermines the integrity of the game. ◆ These terms and conditions are subject to change to ensure that the game remains fair and fun for all players.By using our services, you acknowledge and agree to these terms and conditions.

Season 2 Rewards

Dear Predecessor Community, As part of our commitment to transparency and in our relentless pursuit of further enhancing your Predecessor experience, we have an important update to our Season 2 Roadmap that we&#39;d like to share with you. From this point forward and throughout the remainder of Season 2, we&#39;ll be putting a temporary pause on the release of new frontend features. This decision is not expected to impact the frequency of game updates or Hero releases, and to show our gratitude for your understanding and patience we will be making new Heroes delivered during this season absolutely free to everyone who plays in it. The reason behind this temporary halt on new features is to allow us to focus entirely on transitioning Predecessor to our new User Interface (UI). The reality is that our team has been juggling the support of two UIs, which has slowed our pace and progress on both. To resolve this issue, we&#39;ve made the tough decision to discontinue support for our current UI, allowing us to expedite the delivery of the new UI. Furthermore, this new UI is an essential component for the console version of Predecessor. We want to prioritize its development to make our game accessible to a larger audience as quickly as possible. We realize that this news may come as a disappointment to some of you, but this strategic decision will ultimately enable us to introduce new features more rapidly in the future. Thank you for your understanding, and as always, for being a valued part of the Predecessor community. We look forward to continuing our journey together and delivering the best gaming experience for you all. - Robbie, CEO

We've made some changes to the content we're aiming to deliver during Season 2

This mighty Hero has an unbridled hunger for divine ascension that could lead them to unparalleled heights of glory and power, or leave them in ruin trying.<img alt="sbimp-light-line.png" loading="lazy" width="1000" height="75" decoding="async" data-nimg="1" style="color:transparent" src="https://images.ctfassets.net/rm5ymc69vmwz/4KqmFKEWLn68MGLzzYBbnq/cfccc1997fa909d107a4c2295c918ec5/light-line.png?w=1000&amp;fm=webp"/><h3 id="regular-balance-passes" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">REGULAR BALANCE PASSES</h3>During Season 1 we increased the cadence of our balance updates to every two weeks, a pace that we intend to continue throughout Season 2.  As we’ve discussed previously, one of our main Season 2 balance goals is increasing the Time To Kill. We want to allow more opportunities to showcase your skills when it counts, during team fights in the mid-to-late game. Our next core update, V.0.6.X (the final version number may change due to hotfixes), will continue this work. As always we welcome your feedback to ensure that our vision, these changes, and ultimately the community experience, all align.<img alt="sbimp-light-line.png" loading="lazy" width="1000" height="75" decoding="async" data-nimg="1" style="color:transparent" src="https://images.ctfassets.net/rm5ymc69vmwz/4KqmFKEWLn68MGLzzYBbnq/cfccc1997fa909d107a4c2295c918ec5/light-line.png?w=1000&amp;fm=webp"/><h3 id="end-of-season-rewards" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">END OF SEASON REWARDS</h3>Like Season 1, players will receive rewards based on their final player level at the end of Season 2.  It’s important to note that at the start of Season 2 we reset everyone&#39;s player level to 1. We’d previously said that this would be the final reset to player levels however we’ve made the decision to include one (hopefully final) reset at the end of Season 2. We have long term goals for the way that player levels are handled and used in game which we were unfortunately not able to set out at this stage in Early Access, which is what’s led to this decision. <img alt="sbimp-s2-rewards.png" loading="lazy" width="1920" height="218" decoding="async" data-nimg="1" style="color:transparent" src="https://images.ctfassets.net/rm5ymc69vmwz/78RzhWVv1eZ7myiRfrwoCV/f19e68de2ce51daaa99a7ff9df89f109/s2-rewards.png?w=1920&amp;fm=webp"/> ◆ Level 10: Exclusive EA Season 2 Profile Icon ◆ Level 15: Exclusive Omeda Hero Profile Icon ◆ Level 20: Ascension Hero Recolour ◆ Level 25: Jump Pad VFX ◆ Level 30: Ascension Hero Recolour ◆ Level 35:&nbsp;&nbsp;Recall VFX Rewards from Level 20 upwards are timed-exclusive. This means that they will be exclusive at the time of acquisition but may be added to the store in the future.<img alt="sbimp-light-line.png" loading="lazy" width="1000" height="75" decoding="async" data-nimg="1" style="color:transparent" src="https://images.ctfassets.net/rm5ymc69vmwz/4KqmFKEWLn68MGLzzYBbnq/cfccc1997fa909d107a4c2295c918ec5/light-line.png?w=1000&amp;fm=webp"/><h3 id="season-2-feature-list" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">SEASON 2 FEATURE LIST</h3>On top of the rewards and the new Heroes, we’re also excited to discuss our Season 2 feature list with you! While we can&#39;t guarantee that every item on this list will be delivered, these items represent our current goals and aspirations. As always we welcome feedback from the community and will adjust this feature list accordingly. It should also be noted that the items on this list are not presented in any particular order. Competitive Nights Competitive Nights are here! At its heart Predecessor is a highly competitive game which encourages players to constantly hone and polish their skills. This time-limited game mode is available every Thursday and is a great chance for top players to battle it out as they climb the leaderboards.  This feature was released in V.0.6. For more information visit the <a href="https://www.predecessorgame.com/blog/predecessor-patch-v-0-6/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">patch notes</a>. Replay System (Beta)  The first version of the Replay system also launched with V.0.6. This feature will allow you to watch back your previous matches, analyse your gameplay and share those killer moments (or perhaps your biggest flubs) for the world to see. You can also watch games live, a feature that we can’t wait to see used in community-ran events and tournaments. As with everything in Early Access we&#39;re still working out some of the kinks, but we&#39;re confident that this feature will be a game-changer for our community. This feature was released in V.0.6. For more information visit the <a href="https://www.predecessorgame.com/blog/predecessor-patch-v-0-6/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">patch notes</a>. Public API  We truly believe that community-driven projects are at the heart of Predecessor’s success. The first implementation of our Public API is paramount to this, allowing for the development of community tools, resources and applications that can enrich the Predecessor experience. We’ll of course be expanding on this initial implementation over time and we cannot wait to see the creative and powerful resources that the community can now make! This feature was released in V.0.6. For more information on how to use the API, check out our <a href="https://www.predecessorgame.com/blog/public-api/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">dedicated blog here,</a> Tutorial (Initial Implementation, V.1) Originally planned for Season 1, the first implementation of our tutorial will now be dropping in season 2. This tutorial will guide you through the basics of the game, introducing mechanics, objectives, strategy and more. Predecessor, like any MOBA, can of course be challenging for newcomers, so it’s our goal to help all players to build their confidence and prepare them for their first steps onto the battlefield. Revamped Loading Screen We&#39;re giving the Pre-Match Loading Screen a makeover! The goal here is to give a better overview of who else is in your match, let you show off your favourite cosmetics and support any future content we add into the game like player progression.  Dynamic Ping System Improvements We&#39;re making some much-needed improvements to the dynamic Ping System, accessed currently via the middle mouse button/right thumbstick button. We’ll be adding an extensive ping wheel which will support more options to help you better communicate your instructions, responses and intentions to your team faster than ever before.   Ranked Mode (Solo / Duo) For competitive players who want to test their skills in a more serious setting, we&#39;re working on a competitive ranked game mode for Season 2. You’ll be able to queue up solo or with a friend, climbing the ranked ladder throughout the season to prove yourself against other top players. You’ll be rewarded for playing well and encouraged to play fair. Will you dominate the Season? To start with this new game mode will have limited availability each week which will increase over time as demand for the mode and the size of our playerbase grows.  Hero Acquisition We’ve reached the end of the initial 25 Heroes that were promised in the Early Access bundles. Going forward there will be new ways to acquire Heroes, both for free and using our in-game currency, Platinum. This is an important system that we want to get right, so please sit tight for now as we finalise the details - we’ll share more news as soon as we’re able to.  New Cosmetics First (and last) impressions count - especially on the battlefield, so we’re looking at new and exciting ways that we can expand our cosmetic offerings. You can expect new types of customisations such as Jump Pad trails, new Recalls and more, that’ll really let you leave your mark in fights. We plan to roll these out during Season 2 alongside new Hero emotes, skins and new profile icons.    New &amp; Improved UI As we might have mentioned before, we’re currently in the middle of completely revamping our user interface. We’re aiming for a much more streamlined and immersive experience that is both accessible and functional, and we’re very excited about how it’s coming along.

 The new UI rollout will start with the out-of-game experience such as menus, before gradually being brought into the in-game elements as well. Across everything our goal is to make the UI intuitive and consistent for all players across all platforms, including both PC and console; meaning the leg work we’re doing now will benefit everyone for a long time to come. It won’t just be cosmetic either - we&#39;re also adding new features and functionality to enhance your gameplay experience. Keep an eye out later this season for more! Scoreboard Rework We&#39;re reworking the scoreboard to provide players with much more detailed information about their in-game performance, as well as the performance of other players. The new version will include information that you can’t currently see such as Hero Bounties, and it’ll be laid out and organised much more clearly to make it quicker and easier to grab information in a hurry.  Improvements To Ability Descriptions We&#39;re planning to improve ability descriptions across the board, such as how they look and how easy they are to understand during gameplay. As with the scoreboard changes mentioned above, the goal here is to make it quicker and easier to find the information you need in a hurry.  Bans and Swaps in Draft With Ranked Mode on its way we’re also looking to introduce bans and swaps during the Draft phase to provide players with more control over the drafting process. These features will only be available in certain game modes and will enable players to more deeply strategize before the match even starts, potentially countering the enemy team&#39;s composition. Controller Support v2 We&#39;re introducing a new and improved version of the controller input scheme to provide players with a more intuitive and responsive experience. These changes should come with more flexibility regarding control schemes and allow us to do more in the future.   Store Improvements This one’s pretty straightforward - we&#39;ll be improving the in-game store with new features and support for different types of content. More Skins and Profile Icons The latest drip is coming to Predecessor as we add more skins and profile icons to let you truly stand out on the battlefield. Please never make us write the word drip again. Gameplay Tweaks &amp; Features Throughout the Season we&#39;ll be introducing various tweaks and features to improve the overall gameplay experience. These will include new gameplay features, adjustments or refinements to existing features, bug fixes, quality-of-life improvements, and much more. As always these changes will be shaped by your feedback - so make sure you’re a part of our <a href="https://discord.gg/predecessor" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Discord </a>or <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/PredecessorGame/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Reddit </a>communities which are the best places to share your thoughts!<img alt="sbimp-light-line.png" loading="lazy" width="1000" height="75" decoding="async" data-nimg="1" style="color:transparent" src="https://images.ctfassets.net/rm5ymc69vmwz/4KqmFKEWLn68MGLzzYBbnq/cfccc1997fa909d107a4c2295c918ec5/light-line.png?w=1000&amp;fm=webp"/><h3 id="console-status" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">CONSOLE STATUS</h3>We know that many of you are eagerly awaiting the day that Predecessor arrives on consoles.

 We&#39;re excited to confirm that we&#39;re taking part in the Steam Spring Sale! From 17.00 GMT tonight, March 16th, until 17.00 GMT on March 23rd, you&#39;ll be able to pick up any Predecessor Steam bundle for 25% off the usual price! Rare Bundle: $19.99&nbsp;&nbsp;➛ $14.99* Epic Bundle: $49.99 ➛ $37.49* Legendary Bundle: $79.99 ➛ $59.99* * Or the equivalent price tier in your region. This is a great time for anyone on the fence to give Predecessor a go, especially as we welcome our first original Hero into the fray and look ahead at the excitement of Season 2! What&#39;s more is that if you already have a Predecessor Bundle and are loving it, this is the best possible time to upgrade it to the next tier for even more goodies!<img alt="sbimp-heavy-line.png" loading="lazy" width="1000" height="75" decoding="async" data-nimg="1" style="color:transparent" src="https://images.ctfassets.net/rm5ymc69vmwz/1BxroolczPQYPs1NeGnKGO/58fe80b6c5c259734031213fd1bde1e4/heavy-line.png?w=1000&amp;fm=webp"/>SEASON 1 EXTENSION We&#39;ve made the important decision to extend Season 1 of Predecessor’s Early Access. Season 1 will now end April 17th. Season 2 will start shortly after. So why the extension? Well firstly this will even allow more community members to unlock those epic Season 1 goodies before they disappear. We’re particularly excited for the Player Level 40 skin for the upcoming new Hero, but we’ll share more on that in due time. The extension also means more time to bag some bonus Platinum for those of you further up the leaderboards! Secondly, our dev teams are still hard at work cooking up Season 2. We want it to be everything we know it can be, and on this occasion that means letting it stew for a little bit longer. On the bright side however, Season 2 is shaping up to be just as exciting as Season 1, packed with new features, new Heroes and much, much more. We can&#39;t wait to share more information soon, so keep an eye out for the Season 2 roadmap next month! Lastly while we’re proud of how much we’ve already managed to pack into Season 1, we know that unfortunately there’s a chance that Spectator Mode might slip into Season 2. We’d rather it didn’t and are working hard to deliver it as soon as we can, but we also want to temper expectations just in case. Thank you for your patience and ongoing support. We can’t wait to share what we’re working on!<img alt="sbimp-heavy-line.png" loading="lazy" width="1000" height="75" decoding="async" data-nimg="1" style="color:transparent" src="https://images.ctfassets.net/rm5ymc69vmwz/1BxroolczPQYPs1NeGnKGO/58fe80b6c5c259734031213fd1bde1e4/heavy-line.png?w=1000&amp;fm=webp"/>That&#39;s all for now! Thanks as ever for all your support. Don&#39;t miss the Spring Sale and don’t miss our next post about the deadly hunt!

The Steam Spring Sale is here! Plus news on Season 1 of Early Access!

 In order to be more transparent about our commitments, we have decided to break up Early Access into Seasons. The first season began on December 1st when we launched and will run until the end of March. Stay tuned for updates and more information. END OF SEASON 1 REWARDS Shortly after Season 1 ends on March 31st 2023, players will receive rewards based on their player level at the end of the season. This is our way of thanking players for their time and dedication to Predecessor during the early stages of Early Access, while we work on implementing progression systems in-game. <img alt="sbimp-earlyaccess_season1_04_revised_tile.png" loading="lazy" width="1920" height="300" decoding="async" data-nimg="1" style="color:transparent" src="https://images.ctfassets.net/rm5ymc69vmwz/7Fl2hLWVxLcnLB149xOPY2/680d851ad5440ff8f57ab9e2c9c67a52/earlyaccess_season1_04_revised_tile.png?w=1920&amp;fm=webp"/>We will have two exclusive icons for your player account avatar, to commemorate your time spent playing the game in this early stage.<img alt="sbimp-iconstest.png" loading="lazy" width="945" height="173" decoding="async" data-nimg="1" style="color:transparent" src="https://images.ctfassets.net/rm5ymc69vmwz/5weFA2PXKZ0eicY5JUx54q/620f32ab5b70c2e37aed562bf88b03de/iconstest.png?w=945&amp;fm=webp"/> You will have the opportunity to earn a Countess and a Huntress skin, both of which are currently in development.

Along with each new hero release, we will be doing balance patches to ensure the best possible gameplay experience. If we feel that the current balance cadence is not sufficient, we will increase the frequency of these patches.<img alt="sbimp-roadmap_hero_overview.png" loading="lazy" width="1920" height="299" decoding="async" data-nimg="1" style="color:transparent" src="https://images.ctfassets.net/rm5ymc69vmwz/5BJ9CSEdaYJ0Q6bYeK618P/364a5729014a3517bf29487a070423e5/roadmap_hero_overview.png?w=1920&amp;fm=webp"/>Additionally, as a special holiday treat, everyone who wins at least one game between December 22nd 2022 and January 9th 2023 will receive a Winterfest present. SEASON 1 FEATURE LIST As part of the Roadmap, we want to share some of the content we are currently working on. While we can&#39;t guarantee that everything on this list will be delivered, it represents our current goals and aspirations. We are always open to feedback from the community and will adjust our feature list accordingly. Please note that the items on this list are not presented in any particular order. Public API We want to support community-driven projects, so making game information available is high on our list of priorities. Creep Score Bounties Predecessor already provides additional gold when a team is able to kill a hero who is on a kill streak. With &quot;Creep Score Bounties&quot; we look to expand this system and provide players additional gold when getting kills on targets who are far ahead in creep score. Match End Details A set of screens at the end of a match where a player can review their performance against their teams and the enemy team. Social interaction will also be available here like adding a friend or reporting a player. Player Reporting and AFK Punishments Players will be able to report other players in-game. Additional players that AFK or disconnect will receive automatic short-term queue bans that increase in length the more games a player AFKs in. Tutorial V1 We will be adding version one of our tutorial so we can start onboarding players better. We will be improving and expanding it throughout Early Access and afterwards. Store (Skins) The store will be the place players can spend their Coins to buy skins. We will start with skins but expand the type of content we sell over time. Profile Account Icons This will allow players to select from a range of icons to customize their account. Including the icons gained from the Early Access bundles. Solo Vs AI Game Mode We have been working on our AI system for a while and V1 for this feature is nearly finished, in this mode players will be able to play and practice against AI opponents. Fangtooth Buff Improvements We will be spicing up the fangtooth buffs so that the objective has more depth and greater comeback potential. Competitive Nights This will be a space where our competitive players can play and compete. This will only be available at limited times, to ensure we do not permanently split our queues and will allow us to find a good balance between queue times and competitive spaces. Custom Games Players will be able to enter a custom key and queue up into a custom game with their friends. To start with we will just support 5v5 but we plan to expand the system over time to be more versatile. Spectator mode &amp; replays Players will be able to watch &quot;live&quot; matches as well as playback previously played matches. ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS Bug Fixes Every patch will have bug fixes in it, we want Predecessor to be a polished experience so we will always work to address issues. Quality of Life Improvements (QoL) There are a lot of small things that will improve some part of the experience for someone, and we aim to add these types of change as often as possible. Addressing Community Feedback This is why we are in early access! We will adjust our priorities based on your feedback so that together we can build the best version of Predecessor. CONSOLE STATUS While we are still unable to provide a timeline for the release of the console version at this time, we can confirm that Predecessor will feature cross-progression meaning skins and heroes unlocked will be accessible from any platform of your choice.We will continue to share updates on our progress and will provide a timeline for the release of the console version when we are able to do so. SEASON 2 AND BEYOND Our plan is to do a second season during Early Access. We are not sure how long it will last but we will use it to continue adding features, we are considering things like in-game player progression, match history, iterations to the map as well as exploring options for ranked play. We know it will be focused around our second Predecessor hero currently in development. Keep an eye on socials for more information next year and see if you can achieve ascension in Season 2.
