Introduction

Greetings Champions!

This week’s update is a little different as you already know. There’s no new Hero, and we’re releasing it on a Thursday outside of our usual game update cadence. Instead we’re celebrating, because V0.16 comes with a very different milestone…

OPEN BETA!

That’s right! After this update Predecessor will be free to everyone, on all platforms. And we mean all, because we’re also welcoming Xbox players to the battle for the first time too!

This milestone isn’t all however! V0.16 also ships with all-new lighting, visual changes that will drastically improve the graphical fidelity of our map ahead of further maps and level reworks in the future.

We’re still not done however! We’ve added a bunch of new languages for PC players (soon to be available to console players too) as well as a myriad of bug fixes and balance changes we managed to slip in as well!

We’re burning daylight here, so let’s jump to it!

Open Beta

We’re taking our next leap in Early Access development!

V0.16 marks our milestone release into Open Beta, marking a transition to free-to-play for all players, on all platforms, everywhere!

We’re excited to continue developing Predecessor alongside our rapidly growing community, and we cannot wait to get the game in front of more and more people because of this shift.

Localisation

We've added our first wave of newly supported languages to Predecessor!

Starting on Thursday, PC players will be able to select the following languages in the settings menu:

• French
• German
• Spanish
• Portuguese
• Italian
• Simplified Chinese

Console players will get the same localisation options soon, and we look forward to delivering even more languages throughout the year!

Please note: we're aware that in this first rollout of localisation options there may be a handful of instances of text strings that are overflowing or cropping unexpectedly in places. Similarly there may be a few missing translations here or there too. We'll be fixing these bugs soon!

Xbox Series S/X

As of V0.16 we’re thrilled to be welcoming a whole new audience to Predecessor - Xbox players!

That’s right, we’re rolling out globally on Xbox Series S/X consoles, delivering on our promise to ensure that Predecessor is as accessible as possible to as many players as possible.

Xbox players, good luck out there! Everyone else? Go easy on the newcomers and be sure to give them a warm Predecessor welcome! 😉
