Omeda Studios

Omeda Studios is a UK-based, fully remote video game studio developing Predecessor, a third-person action MOBA for PC and console. The studio was conceived in 2018 following Epic Games' shutdown of its MOBA Paragon, and was formally established by Robbie Singh, Steven Meilleur and Andrea Garella; sources place the official founding in 2019 and in January 2020, with London cited as the company's base. Predecessor was built as a spiritual successor to Paragon using the game assets Epic Games released free of charge to Unreal Engine developers after Paragon's closure.

Predecessor progressed from a free online test on the Epic Games Store and Steam in April 2022, to paid Early Access on PC in December 2022, to a full launch in August 2024 across PC, PlayStation and Xbox with cross-platform play. The studio also carried out a backend migration in early 2024 intended to improve matchmaking and server performance. Headcount grew to more than 80 full-time employees by early 2025.

Founding story

The idea for the studio emerged in 2018 after Epic Games shut down Paragon in April of that year. Robbie Singh, a Paragon content creator on YouTube and Twitch with a Discord community he had built, saw an opportunity to serve players left without the game. Steven Meilleur, a computer programmer, had begun live-streaming efforts to rebuild it, and designer Andrea Garella joined to complete the founding trio. Initial funding came from personal funds and community donations, and the team used the roughly $17 million worth of Paragon assets that Epic Games made freely available to Unreal Engine users to prototype Predecessor.

Business model

The studio develops and operates its own title, Predecessor, which is offered free to play following an earlier paid Early Access phase. In-game content such as heroes and skins is a stated focus of post-funding development.

Predecessor was sold as a paid Early Access product on PC from December 2022 and is described as free-to-play after its full launch, with hero and skin content developed for the game.

Traction

More than 35,000 Discord members and over 100,000 sign-ups before release; over 2 million players across all platforms by March 2025; headcount above 80 full-time employees by early 2025.

Latest developments

Predecessor launched in full in August 2024 on PC, PlayStation and Xbox with cross-platform play and had passed 2 million players across platforms by March 2025, with continued iteration on the game based on player feedback.
