Early Access Roadmap: The Hunt Begins!

Hey everyone, we are excited to share our Early Access Roadmap! This blog post will provide details on the different parts of the roadmap. We have also included a small update regarding console and our plans for the future. Thank you for joining us on this journey and we hope you are as excited for Predecessor's future as we are.

─ alex, Lead Game Designer

In order to be more transparent about our commitments, we have decided to break up Early Access into Seasons. The first season began on December 1st when we launched and will run until the end of March. Stay tuned for updates and more information.

END OF SEASON 1 REWARDS

Shortly after Season 1 ends on March 31st 2023, players will receive rewards based on their player level at the end of the season. This is our way of thanking players for their time and dedication to Predecessor during the early stages of Early Access, while we work on implementing progression systems in-game.

We will have two exclusive icons for your player account avatar, to commemorate your time spent playing the game in this early stage.

You will have the opportunity to earn a Countess and a Huntress skin, both of which are currently in development. These skins will be available for purchase in the game's shop in the future, so don't miss out on the chance to be one of the first to have them in your collection!

From level 50, players will gain 300 Coins for every 10 levels they gain until they reach level 300.

ONE HERO EVERY MONTH

As Robbie announced in the ‘Predecessor: Early Access & Beyond’ video, we will be releasing a new hero every month. Along with each new hero release, we will be doing balance patches to ensure the best possible gameplay experience. If we feel that the current balance cadence is not sufficient, we will increase the frequency of these patches.

Additionally, as a special holiday treat, everyone who wins at least one game between December 22nd 2022 and January 9th 2023 will receive a Winterfest present.

SEASON 1 FEATURE LIST

As part of the Roadmap, we want to share some of the content we are currently working on. While we can't guarantee that everything on this list will be delivered, it represents our current goals and aspirations. We are always open to feedback from the community and will adjust our feature list accordingly. Please note that the items on this list are not presented in any particular order.

• Public API: We want to support community-driven projects, so making game information available is high on our list of priorities.
• Creep Score Bounties: Additional gold will be provided when a team is able to kill a hero on a kill streak.
• Match End Details: Screens at the end of a match where a player can review their performance.
• Player Reporting and AFK Punishments: Players can report others in-game; AFK players will receive penalties.
• Tutorial V1: Version one of our tutorial to onboard players better.
• Store (Skins): A store for players to spend Coins on skins and expand content over time.
• Profile Account Icons: A range of icons to customize player accounts.
• Solo Vs AI Game Mode: A practice mode against AI opponents.
• Fangtooth Buff Improvements: Enhancements to objective depth and comeback potential.
• Competitive Nights: A space for competitive players to play at limited times.
• Custom Games: Players can queue up into custom games with friends.
• Spectator mode & replays: Players will be able to watch live matches as well as playback matches.

ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS

• Bug Fixes: Every patch will have bug fixes to polish the experience.
• Quality of Life Improvements (QoL): Small changes aimed at improving the player experience.
• Addressing Community Feedback: Adjust priorities based on community insights.

CONSOLE STATUS

While we are still unable to provide a timeline for the console version's release, we can confirm that Predecessor will feature cross-progression, allowing skins and heroes unlocked to be accessible from any platform.

SEASON 2 AND BEYOND

Our plan is to do a second season during Early Access, adding features related to in-game player progression and exploring options for ranked play. Stay tuned for more information next year!
