The Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) genre has been dominated by the likes ofLeague of LegendsandDota 2for years. With a new challenger approaching in the form ofPredecessor, players might want to play this one.
After the fall of Epic Games’ MOBA,Paragon, Robbie Singh has spent the last two years developing his own third-person MOBA in the form ofPredecessor. Creating Omeda Studios, the team usedParagon’s assets and Singh’s love for the genre to bringPredecessorto life.
Predecessor Esports Coming Soon?
So far, the team has found early success. The trajectory has been so positive, there’s community tournaments being held on a weekly basis. If you love the competitive nature MOBAs likeLeague of Legendsbring to the table,Predecessoris right up your alley.
In an exclusiveFandomWire interview, Singh talked extensively aboutPredecessorand how the project became a reality. When the topic of esports arose, Singh was eager to discussPredecessor’s future in the esports market.
Within the first week ofPredecessor’s early access, Singh saw players participating in community tournaments. And because the game was still fresh, there was no replay system to properly view the matches. Players would have to get creative.
“The teams would stream Discord, and then the commentator would restream their Discord onto Twitch. And we were like if that isn’t validation that people want to play competitively and watch competitive Predecessor, we don’t know what is.”
Omeda Studios has since added a replay system to host these tournaments more efficiently, about two months after early access launched. Tournaments are still happening every weekend across multiple countries.
