In a stunning nod to its origins, Predecessor is bringing back Agora, the original map from Paragon, in its upcoming 1.7 update set to launch Tuesday, July 22, 2025, at 12:00 BST / 13:00 CEST. Developed by Omeda Studios, Predecessor continues its remarkable journey from community-driven revival to full-fledged MOBA success story—now officially surpassing Paragon’s original lifespan.
Available through a new Legacy Mode in Predecessor LABS, the return of Agora is more than just nostalgia—it’s a moment of celebration for the loyal community that kept the Paragon spirit alive.
🌌 Legacy Mode: Agora Returns for One Final Battle
Rebuilt completely in Unreal Engine 5, the classic Agora map is returning for a limited time in the 1.7 update. Originally launched by Epic Games for Paragon, Agora has been faithfully recreated to deliver the ultimate trip down memory lane for veteran players—while giving new players their first taste of the iconic battlefield that started it all.
“Paragon has undoubtedly played a special role in our story and we’re thrilled to be able to revisit the original map for one final time,” said Omeda Studios CEO Robbie Singh. “Our community is so important to us, and I can’t wait to join them on the battlefield in Agora one last time.”
Legacy Mode will be housed under Predecessor LABS, a new experimental environment where players can try limited-time game modes and features outside of the standard experience.
🧙♀️ Introducing Renna: A New Hero with Dark Intentions
Also arriving in Patch 1.7 is Renna, a brand-new original Mid-Lane hero. As the sister of Yurei, Renna was corrupted by an ancient force and now serves as the right hand of Akeron, the Demon King of Ashkarath.
Renna brings a dark, strategic edge to Predecessor’s roster with a kit designed to scale and dominate as battles progress:
- Passive – Echoes of the Damned: Harvest essence from fallen enemies to float mid-air and gain power
- Mortal Coil: Tethers and drains enemy health while healing Renna
- Stupor: Leaps into the air to cast a powerful AOE orb
- Soulfire: Fires piercing waves that grow in strength with harvested essence
- Ultimate – Abyssal Rift: Blink into enemies and unleash a storm of projectiles
- Augments: Offer utility, sustain, and support variations
Renna is more than just a new champion—she represents Predecessor’s evolving identity. With fresh lore and original gameplay mechanics, she’s part of Omeda Studios’ ongoing vision to carve out a distinct MOBA legacy, independent of its Paragon roots.
🎮 1.7 Update: What to Expect
Patch 1.7 is more than just a tribute—it’s a robust content drop that includes:
- Legacy Mode: Featuring the fully remastered Agora map
- New Hero – Renna
- New skins and gameplay fixes
- Balance changes and system improvements
- Community-focused features setting up for Predecessor’s second year
The full patch notes will be available on the official Predecessor website.
🏆 From Paragon to Predecessor: A Success Story
What began as a passion project by content creator Robbie Singh has grown into one of the most exciting MOBA games on modern platforms. Utilizing Paragon’s free assets, Singh and a dedicated team founded Omeda Studios and began shaping what would eventually become Predecessor.
Launched officially in August 2024, Predecessor is now approaching its one-year anniversary, and the game has already achieved what Paragon could not—building a sustainable, growing community around a third-person MOBA built for modern players.
