Predecessor 1.8 Update Adds World Shift Mechanic and A New Hero

The forerunner is set to receive its major upgrade next week. Developer Omeda Studios has revealed that the free-to-play MOBA will launch version 1.8 on September 2nd. This update includes a new map feature known as World Shift, and introduces the long-awaited hero, Demon King Akeron.

In the course of a game, the World Shift function dynamically alters the play area. This means that paths, goals, and potentially dangerous terrain elements might materialize or vanish, ensuring that both teams remain active and responsive.

Omeda emphasizes that the World Shift is not only about cosmetic improvements, but it fundamentally alters strategies in real-time, requiring quick adjustments and strong cooperation among team members,” or

“According to Omeda, the World Shift isn’t just a matter of making things look better; instead, it dynamically changes strategy, necessitating immediate response and effective teamwork.

In the gaming world, I’ve just learned that I, Akeron, have made my grand entrance into Predecessor as a versatile tank/off-lane/jungle warrior. With a unique playstyle, I can scale walls to attack from above, maintaining control of areas while holding my ground in lengthy battles.

My passive, ultimate, and movement abilities offer room for customization, allowing players to tailor their strategies according to the situation at hand. As part of the intriguing Ashes of the Damned storyline, I’m thrilled to be a piece of the puzzle that unfolds the next captivating chapter in this game’s narrative.

As a passionate fan, I can’t help but express my excitement over Predecessor Version 1.8! Besides the notable additions, this update also marks the start of a new ranked season, battlepass enhancements, and an exhilarating expansion – entering the vibrant gaming landscape of Japan! Being a part of the Japanese gaming community now means enjoying a dedicated Asia server for optimal gameplay experience.

Last but not least, the latest update for the new version 1.8 offers Nvidia DLSS support, and we anticipate that AMD FSR will be added soon. Also, enhancements have been made to the in-game shop, user interface, and mini-map.
