Map Size Changes

We've heard your feedback about the map being too small and we're excited to be take our first steps today to increasing how big the map feels.

• Reduced character size for all Heroes to 6% of their original scaling.

• Reduced character movement speed for all Heroes to 8% of their original speed.

These changes should have a significant impact in how large the map feels, creating a sense of magnitude and immersion for the existing environment while making it take significantly longer to traverse increasing the impression of size without the need for a new map.

We hope you'll enjoy relearning the existing map from this new perspective!

Additional Localisation

As part of our ongoing efforts to increase the availability and accessibility of Predecessor for more people we've added support for the following new languages:

• American

• Alienese

• Elven

• Monkey

Game Server Locations

Additionally we're exploring with our providers the opportunity to move all game servers to Greenland.

We will be removing EU and NA servers as we roll out this new CENTRAL server for all games.

New Soft Stat: Charisma

After spending too much time listening to TwinBlast's audio files we reached a startling realisation. All our Heroes each have unique personalities and varying levels of confidence.

With this in mind we took the initiative to add a new stat to Predecessor; Charisma!

Charisma is primarily used to haggle for items in the in-game Item Shop, with a higher Charisma stat netting you top tier discounts on all the Moon Boots you could ask for.

Conversely a character with less Charisma will see a significant increase in Item prices. Everything's a balance - will you be pumping this stat?

Expanded Console Availability

Due to the immense success of the hardware and the technical opportunities it presents us, we're pleased to announce that Predecessor will soon be available on the prestigious Wii-U platform.

Enjoy Predecessor like never before with intuitive motion controls!

Wukong Takeover

With the addition of our most highly anticipated Hero to date we decided to let Wukong into the Announcer booth to narrate matches himself!

Wukong will now be the default Voice of Predecessor, announcing important gameplay moments such as Pentakills and similar thrilling moments!

Additionally we've rolled out an exciting new skin line for all Heroes!

All Heroes now have a brand new Wukong skin! This skin is indistinguishable from Wukong's own default model in a subtle nod to his beloved clone ability.

The skin will be made available to all players and will be set by default as the selected skin for every Hero. During the 1.5 period equipping any other skin will incur a cost of 500 Platinum each time.

Voice Chat AI Integration

Following the successful integration of Voice Chat we're pleased to reveal a new AI Voice Chat integration!

You will now be able to let the new AI argue with your teammates for you, freeing you up to focus on what really counts. Going AFK at base.

At launch the AI will come preloaded with favourite lines like "Dude what the hell?!", “Out of Mana.” and an assortment of insults and swears.
