Pred Report VI

2024年3月19日

要約

Greetings Champions!

With so much excitement surrounding Predecessor this month it’s easy to forget that it’s been a while since the last Pred Report!

One of our core principles as a company is to champion community transparency, so today we’re keen to continue that value answering yet more of your burning questions, providing exciting insights into upcoming projects, and just generally summing up where we’re at as a company.

Let’s do this!

PRED Talk

Kicking things off it’s important we reshare our recent PRED Talk video, in which Robbie announced a plethora of exciting new features and sneak peaks coming soon to Predecessor.

He also revealed our official Open Beta launch date (March 28th) and our highly anticipated launch date onto Xbox (also March 28th). Talk about hype!

Quickfire Questions

Will players need to do anything during the transition to Open Beta?

Nope! For anyone with the game already the transition to Open Beta will feel like just another game update. There's no new special game key to redeem, no new SKU ( that means product!) to download from a store - just a regular ol' game update!

Will console players get Early Access bundles?

At the time of our Open Beta launch this won’t be possible, but we’re exploring ways for new players to catch up quickly to their PC counterparts. We’ll share more on this when we’ve made a final decision on a path forwards.

Will console players have a way to get the rewards from previous Early Access seasons?

We understand that there are many players on PlayStation who missed out on Early Access Season 1 and 2 rewards, and there will be more players coming in from Xbox who will have also missed out on the recent Early Access Season 3 rewards.

As we’ve shared in previous season overview blogs, all non-exclusive rewards from previous seasons will be available to purchase in store in the future. This mainly includes the season-themed rewards such as the Ascension and Emerald skin lines, with exclusive rewards such as profile icons being limited to those who played during the season.

Why did Amber launch with so few uses?

We envision Amber as a multi-purpose soft currency. We have plans to make it more useful for more things beyond Hero Acquisition, but in order to roll it out quickly and without too many variables that could go wrong, we elected to limit it on launch to just this one use.

Once we’re happy that it’s working as intended, and have plenty of data to back that up, we’ll begin rolling out further uses for the currency.

Which Xbox consoles will be supported?

At the launch of Open Beta and our initially rollout on Xbox, only Xbox Series S/X will be supported.
