Introduction

Greetings Champions!

It feels like it was only recently that we were celebrating our full release at Gamescom - and it’s already time for 1.1!

In update 1.1, we’re welcoming our 4th Omeda original Hero, Skylar, an aerial combat ace with some serious alien tech! Spooky season is officially kicking off too with the return of Shadow’s Eve, and of course, we have a bunch of new features, improvements, and bug fixes, alongside some highly requested community features (mouse and keyboard support on console anyone?)

Let’s get stuck in!

New Hero: Skylar - The Winged Marauder!

Aerial Ace, Skylar, soars onto the battlefield!

Things just got more vertical! With her trusty, high-tech jetpack, Skylar can hover above the battlefield and rain destruction on her enemies below.

Stats:

Abilities:

Dissonance [Passive]:

Enemy Units killed by Skylar explode after 0.75s, dealing 30 (+5 per level) physical damage to nearby Enemies within 350u. If the Target is an Enemy Hero, the explosion damage and radius is tripled.

Additionally, Skylar utilises her Jetpack to gain increased Jump Height.

Starfire [Basic Attack]:

BAT: 1.5

Effect: Skylar’s basic Ranged attack, dealing 57 (+75% Bonus Physical Power) physical damage.

Plasma Grenade [Primary]:

CD: 14/13/12/11/10
Cost: 50/55/60/65/70
Effect: Skylar launches a bouncing Nano Bubble that attaches to the first Target hit for 0.75s and deals 25/40/55/70/85 (+20% Bonus Physical Power) physical damage.

After the duration, the Target and nearby Enemies take 70/100/130/160/190 (+90% Bonus Physical Power)(+50% Magical Power) physical damage and are Slowed by 40%/45%/50%/55%/60% for 1s.

Air Assault [Secondary]:

CD: 24/21.5/19/16.5/14
Cost: 70
Effect: Skylar thrusts upwards in her current direction and gains the ability to Glide for 3.25s. While Gliding, Skylar’s Movement Speed is increased by 25%.

During this time, dealing damage will cause Skylar to fire a missile that deals 25/35/45/55/65 (+15% Bonus Physical Power)(+10% Magical Power) physical damage to the Target.

Hypercharge [Alternate]:

CD: 6
Cost: 80/90/100/110/120
Effect: Skylar Hypercharges Starfire, augmenting her Basic Attack for the next 5s. Takedowns refresh the duration.

While Hypercharge is active, Skylar converts Bonus Attack Speed into additional On-Hit damage and her Basic Attack fires at a fixed rate of 10 attacks per second.

Atomiser [Ultimate]:

CD: 120/100/80
Cost: 100
Effect: Skylar charges up her weapon for 0.5s before unleashing a large Orb of energy. The Orb explodes upon hitting an Enemy Hero or Terrain, dealing 200/330/460 (+135% Bonus Physical Power)(+100% Magical Power)(+15/20/25% of Target’s missing health) physical damage to all nearby Enemies.

Platinum Package Adjustments

We’re making some adjustments to the Platinum packages we currently offer to better align them with the prices of skins in the game, while also reducing situations where players have a small amount of Platinum left after a purchase that they can’t do much with.

Want to grab a new Common skin? Grab the new 500 platinum pack! Maybe you like one of the Uncommon skins too? Pick up the 1300 Platinum pack instead! Check out the new bundles below:

Old

New

There are no changes to the 5900 or 12200 Platinum Packs!

Role Bundle Discounts

You may remember all the way back in update v0.16 we added new bundles for each role with an introductory discount to celebrate their arrival. Well, it’s finally time for these bundles to head back towards their standard price, but not all the way just yet… the offer continues with a slightly reduced discount for each of the bundles and a new price of 650 Platinum.

Note - these are dynamic bundles so the price will reduce based on what you already own.

If you’ve been eyeing any of these bundles up, grab them at full discount until the patch drops!

V1.1 Twitch Drops

We couldn’t do Shadow’s Eve without some all-new Shadow’s Eve Twitch Drops! Starting shortly after the update goes live, watch any Predecessor streamer to get your hands on the the brand-new Pumpkin spray, or watch select Predecessor Creator Guild streamers to get your hands on the terrifying Sweet Dreams Khaimera spray, profile icon and skin!

Console Improvements

Unfortunately due to certification complications, some of the following features have been delayed for PlayStation users. For more information, see here.

PlayStation Trophies

Trophy hunters rejoice! PlayStation players can now earn a bunch of different trophies, let the platinum run begin!

Console 120 FPS Mode

PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X are getting a huge performance upgrade with 1.1! We’ve optimised the game to run at a buttery-smooth 120FPS.

Localisation

We're excited to announce Predecessor has been localised for consoles in German, French, Italian, Simplified Chinese and Brazilian-Portuguese!

Aim Assist

Aim assist for console players can now be toggled on or off so you can choose how you want to play! Additionally, we’ve also made some tweaks to improve aim assist when enemy players are closer to the camera.

Mouse & Keyboard Support

This is perhaps one of the most requested quality-of-life improvements among console players, so we’re very excited to announce mouse and keyboard support is coming to PlayStation and Xbox in this update!

Draft Improvements

We implemented a lot of changes to the Draft and Role Select screens with 1.0 back in August, and we’ve been listening intently to your feedback since then to offer even more changes and improvements to the whole Draft experience.

Draft Voice Lines

Some players reported a little confusion when selecting the same role as others during role select. To help with clarity, we’ve added a new voice line telling you which lane you’ve been assigned before heading into draft.

We also wanted to add some extra prompts that we hope will help to reduce the amount of accidental draft mishaps. We've probably all been there - gazing off into space while we're meant to be picking our Hero. So upon entering the Draft you'll be prompted to select your Hero.

Once you've selected your Hero, the VO reminds you to lock-in!

Finally, as the timer hits 10 seconds, the VO will tell you "Time's running out"

Ability Videos

For newer players heading into draft, whether it’s vs AI or PvP, picking a new Hero can be a bit daunting as you’re usually going in with only a description of what their abilities do. With 1.1 we’ve added small ability videos for each Hero and ability to provide further clarity on what each Hero can do.

This isn’t just for the draft screen either! You can head into the Hero Ability section in the Main Menu to take a closer look at them too.

Note - some Heroes have Passive abilities that are difficult to show clearly, for these cases we’ve opted to not include them for now but are looking into solutions.

Removed Subclasses

Subclasses in the draft screen were added in 1.0 and we saw that players felt it cluttered the screen without really offering much more in terms of information. So we’ve removed the subclasses in 1.1 to keep things clean and tidy. Thanks to everyone for the feedback!

Affinity Progress in the Draft Screen

Hero Affinity has become a popular feature for players to work towards, but the information isn’t as accessible as we’d like it to be, until now!

Affinity progress for every Hero is now visible in the draft screen at the top of each Hero’s thumbnail, so you can easily see how far you have to go until the next affinity level.

Role Select Changes

We had some feedback from mouse and keyboard players who felt the extra click to “lock-in” your role during Role Select wasn’t necessary. Upon reviewing the change, we agree!

Mouse & Keyboard players will be able to select and lock-in their role in one simple click. You’ll still be able to deselect the role if you change your mind though.

Players Names in Role Select

Currently when a role is picked, the game simply shows a number next to the icon. Continuing on with our mission to improve clarity within the game, we’ve made a change to show player names here, rather than just a number.

Hero Camera Positions

Let’s be honest, some Heroes in the Draft screen looked a little… small. When you pick a Hero, they should feel like a Hero! So we’ve updated the camera position for all of our Heroes so they have a much better sense of scale.

Lane Lock Clarity

To help ensure players know which role they were assigned during Role Select, the screen will now show you exactly which role you’re about to play. This, alongside the newly added voiceline should really help to ensure players have all the information they need to pick the right Hero for the job.

Post Match Screen Improvements

It’s no secret that some players weren’t huge fans of the new post-match screen we introduced in 1.0. We really appreciate the feedback and we’ve made some adjustments here to make everyone’s stats much easier to digest:

Some players were accidentally adding or blocking other players with the old setup, so we’ve added a contextual menu where you can add, block or report the people you just played with, without any accidents!

Other Improvements

Chat Readability Upgrade

Another area of community feedback has been the readability of the in-game chat. We’ve made some improvements to it in update 1.1 to ensure chat and system messages are much easier to see.

Renamed Item Slots

Item slot 1, 2 and 3 weren’t very descriptive, particularly for new players who wondered what they even were! We’ve changed the name of these in the keybind menu to their relevant item: Blink, Utility (Hunt/Potion), Crest, Vision (Ward/Sentry).

Jump Pad VFX

While researching the new player experience, we noticed players avoiding the jump pads and walking to their lane instead. To help make them a little more obvious, we’ve added some snazzy new VFX to indicate their presence and what they do.

Skin Selection

We've all got our favourite skins for our favourite Heroes, but having to select it every time you go into a match doesn't feel great. With v1.1 the game will save your last skin selection for each character so your Heroes are always looking their best!

Renamed Sprays

Previously most sprays were named based on the Hero they were created in the likeness of. They are now named to represent the emotion they convey instead.

New Items

Who doesn’t love new items?! We always want to encourage build diversity in Predecessor, and the following items should help to give the meta a little shake up while giving you even more options for how you want to build and play your Heroes.

Carry:

Mage:

Support:

Removed Items:

Hero Balance Changes

Countess is receiving some minor changes aimed at pivoting her damage profile further towards magical itemisation, with her Blade Siphon having lower inherent damage but higher Scaling, and some increases to her raw durability, thereby reducing the efficacy or need for tankier purchases such as Fire Blossom.

General:

Crunch is receiving some increased healing from his Ultimate’s Passive effect, reinforcing his level-6 power-spike and allowing him more success in extended duels.

Re-Crunch [Ultimate]:

Greystone sometimes finds himself unable to transition his pressure into meaningful advantages, often struggling to find trade windows on more mobile opponents.

General:

The previous round of changes to Grim.exe pushed down his strength a little too far.

General:

Iggy is receiving some long-requested changes to his Molotov, with it now possessing a shorter overall range.

General:

Once again Kira is receiving some damage increases to Purge.

Purge [Ultimate]:

Narbash is receiving some additional uptime on his Thunk.

Rampage's Pounce ability has been given a little QoL update.

Revenant has recently risen as a mightier contender among the Carries.

Obliterate [Primary]:

Riktor's rise to dominance in the Offlane is largely due to his ability to take heavy short-trades.

Riot Shield [Passive]:

Sparrow has fallen out of favour since her previous rounds of aggressive adjustments.

Relentless [Passive]:

Wraith’s recent rise in strength is largely due to his ability to secure an aggressive snowball.

Surprise, Surprise! [Secondary]:

Bad Medicine [Secondary]:

Item Balance Changes

Crest:

Some additional Movement Speed is being granted to Soulbearer.
