Boris is a new character in Predecessor.

Omeda Studios launches update for Predecessor MOBA as players surpass 2 million

Omeda Studios has announced its player count has crossed two million as it launches a new 1.4 update for the free-to-play third-person action MOBA Predecessor.

Predecessor‘s Patch 1.4 introduces the highly anticipated Boris as a playable hero for the first time. The Beast Reforged will dominate the battlefield, combining modern technology with primal force. Players will finally be able to experience his exciting range of abilities, most notably his powerful Ursine Burst – an ultimate ability that allows Boris to charge forward at lightning speed, grabbing the first enemy hero in his path, and slamming them into the ground. The impact of this also sends shockwaves, dealing significant damage to enemies in range.
