Ranked Season 0

Since its launch in June 2024, Ranked Mode has become a cornerstone of Predecessor — with players eagerly jumping into queues the moment they open, and many dedicating themselves to the mode exclusively. Over the months, it’s delivered countless epic victories (and a fair share of crushing defeats), evolving constantly through feedback and updates.

Ranked Season 0 ends this weekend, on April 27th.

At this time we’ll also kick off the first rank reset and split, closing the chapter on Season 0.

Ranked Season 1: Ashes of the Damned

During our V1.5 stream we unveiled not only the theme for Ranked Season 1, but also gave a sneak peek into what’s coming in the next few updates.

This season marks a major milestone — it will feature Predecessor's first-ever overarching story arc, with narrative beats unfolding across multiple updates. We know many of you have been asking for more lore, and we’re thrilled to finally begin weaving a deeper world into the game.

Game Changes

Impact Improvements

With V1.5, we’re introducing a series of UI improvements aimed at making combat feedback more intuitive, readable, and responsive — helping you experience the game on your own terms.

Bug Fixes

And that’s a wrap — you’ve made it to the end!

Thank you for reading the final patch notes of this chapter in Predecessor’s history. But this is far from the end. As we shared in our recent stream, there’s so much more on the horizon — and we’re only just getting started.
