New Hero: Akeron– the Demon King

[p]Akeron is the ruler of the mysterious Demon Realm, a being who has sought entry into Sylmara for as long as history remembers. The entire order of Koru Shinzo was established to prevent him from ever gaining a foothold.[/p][p]For ages, they succeeded… until recently. Through Renna’s betrayal of Koru Shinzo’s ideals, Akeron finally achieved what he had long struggled to do: manifest a horrifying physical presence. Now unleashed, he wields both his otherworldly powers and his terrifying form to their fullest advantage on the battlefield![/p]

Store Overhaul

The Store menu has been refined for easier navigation and better visibility of the items you’re looking for. The game will also do a better job of recognizing what you might be interested in purchasing - and if you’re lucky, you might even see a discount on your dream skin![/p][p]We’ve also improved the flow of opening Loot Cores. You’ll now be able to open a Loot Core immediately after purchasing it. In addition, the Loot Core purchase menu has been cleaned up to look more polished and to clearly showcase the available bundles. You can now check the latest Loot Core drop probabilities directly from this menu.[/p]

  • [p]Epic Variants: 500 Platinum[/p][/*]
  • [p]Legendary Variants: 600 Platinum[/p][/*]

Wrath of the Ascended Battle Pass

World Shift: Cataclysm

[p]We've been working hard to make the core Predecessor experience more exciting, adding a new layer of "oomph" to make matches feel more varied and cinematic. Whilst we are still hard at work on a new map, World Shift gives us a way to put some of what we've been cooking up directly into players' hands. This allows us to run both projects in parallel, adding variety to the game right now while we continue to shape the future of Sanctuary behind the scenes.[/p][p]When a world shift is triggered by killing the new Shaper, which appears at the 15 min mark in matches, an event will transform the map, bringing dramatic environmental changes. This feature is coming to all current modes: Quick Match, Nitro, and Ranked.[/p][p]This initial release introduces a single World Shift: Cataclysm, where the sky splits open and meteors rain down on the map. It's more than just cosmetic though; the subtle changes have a major impact on gameplay. We've added new paths, strategically placed rocks that create new chokepoints and alter lines of sight, and Geysers that launch players to previously inaccessible areas. While these map changes are subtle compared to future themes, we're excited to see how they will shift mid-to-late-game strategy, and how players respond to the feature as a whole.[/p][p]Looking ahead, we have big plans for World Shift, including improvements to Cataclysm, and a completely new Shift for our major update in November. From that patch onwards, there will be a possibility of one of several different Shifts being triggered during a match.[/p][p]We know this is a big change, so we want to roll things out gradually, and keep closely monitoring player feedback and data to make adjustments as needed.[/p]

World Shift Mechanics Breakdown

[p]A cataclysmic event heralds the start of a new phase for Predecessor. This is one of our most ambitious updates to date and will dramatically shift how the match plays out.[/p][p]A new enemy has been added to the game, the mysterious Shaper. Defeating its Seedlings and then the Shaper itself begins a sequence of events that tears a rift in the sky, opening the way for the meteors of Ashkerath.[/p][p]This apocalyptic event transforms the way you play, as meteors crash down and begin reshaping the world around you.[/p][p]Avoid the fiery meteors hurtling toward you, explore the singed world and claim what you can from it. Master the effects of the first of our World Shift events and victory will be yours.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://images.ctfassets.net/rm5ymc69vmwz/57kD2M92Lay6AAKLHmFlVg/1f38e5bc49892550149a5efa652591c6/Worldshift_screenshot__1_.jpg"][/img][/p][p][/p]

[p]For this World Shift, Gold Plants are being introduced. You’ll find several in each jungle quadrant, in the river, and one in each side lane.[/p][p]Defeating a Gold Plant drops 5 gold orbs, each worth 12 gold, for a total of 60 gold to the player who collects them.[/p]

Geysers:

[p]Volcanic Geysers will spawn in multiple locations of the map. These will launch players atop them for 2s after a player steps on top of one. After the 2s duration, they will then be inactive for a set period (8-12s based on the Geyser location) before becoming active again. These will offer new opportunities for all Heroes to scale heights and traverse walls.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://images.ctfassets.net/rm5ymc69vmwz/hDzkekp2SHdOguO2UnYFj/708154e8bb51b3f400fd55598440a57e/Worldshift_screenshot__2_.jpg"][/img][/p][p][/p]

Meteorites 

[p]A bombardment begins as meteorites streak across the sky before slamming into the earth with violent force. Shockwaves erupt from each impact, hurling nearby targets backward in the concussive blast. While not designed to be lethal, each strike inflicts a small amount of damage based on current health.[/p][p]When the dust settles, the battlefield is permanently scarred. Super-heated rock may cool into jagged new terrain, creating cover and obstacles, or the sheer force of impact may shatter walls and structures, opening new pathways and strategic flanking routes.[/p]
[p]What we’re launching in Update 1.8 is only one flavour of World Shift - with many more to come! We’ll be listening closely to your feedback, so let us know how you’re finding it and what you’d like to see in the future.[/p]

World Shift Map Changes

[p]In addition to World Shift, we have made a handful of changes to the Base Map:[/p]
  • [p]Some minor adjustments to Walls and Terrain to allow for various World Shift transformations to occur.[/p][/*]

Ranked Split

[p]As we’ve mentioned previously, Ranked Season 1 Split 1 is ending with the launch of Update 1.8![/p][p]Here’s what you need to know:[/p]
  • [p]Ranked Downtime: Ranked will be closed for maintenance for around before the update - it will go down around 9 pm BST on Monday, September 1st.[/p][/*]
  • [p]Rank Reset: After the reset, all players will be moved 5 divisions down the Ranked ladder.[/p][/*]
  • [p]Rewards Distribution: Ranked rewards for Split 1 will be distributed at this time.[/p][/*]
[p]Every player will receive a themed Season Split Banner and Icon. The type of cosmetics you earn depends on your highest rank achieved during the Split - not your final rank. So don’t worry if you’ve dropped a division or two lately![/p][p]Additionally, all players who win at least 15 Ranked matches during the Split will receive an exclusive Morigesh skin.[/p]
  • [p]Below Gold: Players will receive the same base variant, regardless of rank.[/p][/*]
  • [p]Gold and above: Players will earn a skin variant that matches the color of their highest rank, in addition to the base one.[/p][/*]
[p]Finally, the Ranked Leaderboard will be reset.[/p]

Ranked Teams Compatibility Update

[p]Want to play Ranked with your friends but feel too far apart in divisions? Starting in V1.8, we’ve adjusted the rules to make it easier for squads to queue together:[/p]
  • [p]Bronze players can squad with friends up to Gold.[/p][/*]
  • [p]All other ranks can squad with friends within one full rank of them (A Platinum player can queue with anyone in Gold up to Diamond).[/p][/*]
[p]Please note: these adjustments apply to pre-made squads only.[/p]

Japanese Localization & New Server Locations

[p]We’re very happy to announce that with V1.8, Predecessor is officially launching in Japan! Our Japanese players will be able to enjoy the game fully localized, with their own dedicated Japan server - which should also improve the experience for many players across Asia.[/p][p]In addition, we’re expanding further with the launch of new server in MENA (Middle East & North Africa) — no more high ping from connecting to Europe![/p][p]Please note that until we have data showing a large enough population to sustain it, Ranked will not be available in these regions at first. We’ll be very happy to revisit this as soon as we have evidence that it can be supported.[/p]

Nvidia Update

[p]We are excited to announce that GeForce NOW support for Predecessor is coming soon![/p][p]This allows you to stream the game from the cloud, making it accessible on a wider range of devices without needing high-end hardware. This is a huge step in making the game more accessible to our growing community.[/p][p]Please note: GeForce NOW support was originally planned to launch with update v1.8. An unexpected issue has shifted the timing, but it will be arriving shortly after. We’ll keep you updated on when it’s ready to go live.[/p]

DLSS 4 Support

[p]As of V.1.8, Predecessor will support NVIDIA's DLSS 4! It's a new rendering technology that can boost frame rates, enhance performance, and improve visual fidelity of the game. This feature has following hardware requirements:[/p]
  • [p]DLSS Super Resolution: Any NVIDIA RTX GPU[/p][/*]
  • [p]Frame Generation: NVIDIA RTX 40 Series GPU[/p][/*]
  • [p]Multi-Frame Generation: NVIDIA RTX 50 Series GPU[/p][/*]
  • [p]DirectX 12 must be enabled[/p][/*]
[p]Players with supported NVIDIA hardware can enable:[/p]

  • [p]DLAA - which improves native image quality.[/p][/*]
