How to play Predecessor on Mac

Game summary

You and four allies join arms in battle as you fight for glory on the battlefield against enemy heroes on a traditional 3 lane map featuring an interactive jungle, epic monsters and more! In a match 10 players are divided into two teams with each player controlling their chosen hero. No two heroes are the same. Each hero has their own unique abilities and design, meaning there’s a hero to match everyone’s style of play. Heroes complete objectives to collect gold like killing minions, towers or enemy heroes. As a hero collects more gold they can buy items from the shop that influence their heroes in interesting ways - allowing them to teleport to new locations, go invisible, freeze time and more. Items also allow a hero to get more powerful by giving their hero better attributes such as power, attack speed, health and various other stats. Unlike most MOBAs, Predecessor puts you into the heart of the action. The Third-Person perspective fully immerses you into the game as enemies appear from shadow walls, over ledges or from behind you.

Play Predecessor on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Predecessor on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).

Predecessor installation steps for Mac

Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install Predecessor like you would on any PC.

🕹 Editor's notes

Developed by Omeda studios, Predecessor is the newest game to enter the MOBA realm. The studio itself is pretty young and is based in London. Their debut game has created quite a buzz and has gained over 50,000 users in its game discord. 

An introduction to the game

The Predecessor is still in the development stage and is available only on the game discord. So, it's only fair to give a summary of the game, especially if you're new or like to know about the game. 

The game is a third-person action MOBA involving strategy and team play. You need to form allies with four players to go on the battlefield and defeat the enemy. It features a lane map that includes epic monsters, an interactive jungle, and more. Ten players are divided into two teams for a match to embark on a battle.

You can choose heroes of different personalities featured in the game. They have different abilities and skills which will help you in the game. 

The good and bad aspects

Let's start with the good aspects of this game! The graphics are pretty decent, although much improvement can be made in the artwork of items. Good audio quality with an incredible gameplay. The transition is smooth and pretty enthralling. In addition, the user interface is simple, allowing easy navigation.  

Some of the issues, like lack of spell indicator, affect the overall aspects of the game. Undeniably, Predecessor is quite immersive as it lets you feel in the game; however, it still needs some technical improvements. 

The game is still in the developing stage and hopefully improves once it's well-developed. It's been reported that the studio has received funding from Haveli Investment which is excellent news. Let's hope for a good outcome and see what they offer.
