MOBA
Predecessor
Predecessor is a free-to-play third-person MOBA developed by Omeda Studios, built on assets from the canceled Epic Games title Paragon.
What is Predecessor?
Predecessor gives players a MOBA experience built on Unreal Engine 5, positioning itself as the premium continuation of Paragon — Epic Games' original third-person MOBA that was shut down in 2018. Omeda Studios, an independent developer, obtained the Paragon assets that Epic made freely available after the shutdown and built Predecessor as a genuinely new game on that foundation rather than a straight restoration. The game launched into 1.0 in March 2024 after an extended early access period, arriving simultaneously on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox with full cross-play matchmaking.
Omeda Studios runs dedicated game servers for all Predecessor matches, with matchmaking placing players from PC and console into the same pools across supported regions. The persistent account backend manages hero unlock progression, cosmetic inventories, ranked ladder state, and the seasonal battle pass that funds ongoing development. As an independent studio, Omeda's server infrastructure is more directly tied to revenue — sustained player counts and ongoing spending are directly connected to the company's ability to maintain and grow its server capacity.
Server problems in Predecessor surface predictably in the ways that matter most to MOBA players. Ranked match disconnections count as losses and apply penalties that feel disproportionate when the server is the cause. Cross-play matchmaking failures that only affect certain platform combinations create invisible wait queues — a PC player may not realise they have been excluded from cross-play matchmaking until queue times reach absurd lengths. Login backend failures that prevent fetching hero roster and cosmetic data block the main menu from progressing past the loading state, leaving the game stuck even though match servers may be healthy.
Outage.gg tracks Predecessor server status through community reports from PC, PlayStation, and Xbox players. If matchmaking is down, ranked is inaccessible, or login is failing, the live status page shows current player-reported incidents.
