Fan favourite MOBA back from the dead for next free Epic Games giveaway
03.12.2023 - 18:05 / thesixthaxis.com
The next free Epic Games Store games have been officially revealed with one major surprise in store for MOBA fans. Joining Epic’s ever-growing catalogue of free-to-claim titles is Predecessor which will arrive on the platform next week on December 7th.
Developed by Omeda Studios, it bears a striking resemblance to 2016’s Paragon. Long after Epic Games shut down its once promising League of Legends rival, the game has now been revived and renamed with a new development team at the helm.
Predecessor has completely reworked and updated Paragon from the ground up while maintaining its action-heavy third person core. Two teams clash to control the game’s map which is made up of three lanes, each one guarded by towers that will shred players if they come too close. By guiding AI-controlled grunts, hunting enemy players, and seeking power-ups within the “jungle” between lanes, teams are locked in a tense tug of war.
Although Predecessor has been available on Steam and the Epic Games Store since the beginning of 2022, the title has undergone constant updates in early access. This latest promotion (which eschews the £7.19) price tag should hopefully inject a fresh wave of players to experience some of that Paragon-fuelled MOBA magic.
Despite its impressive visuals and intuitive gameplay, the game was originally shuttered by Epic in 2018, having failed to attract a big enough audience. While Epic are no strangers to throwing money at big projects (5 years after launching the EGS, it’s reportedly yet to turn a profit) no one can blame them for pivoting fully towards Fortnite following its initial runaway success.
Whether Predecessor will last as long as its… predecessor is unclear. However, it’s been a fascinating project to watch come alive and one that has us wishing other game publishers would be more forthcoming in handing the keys to long dead, online-only games to passionate teams of fan developers.
