Remember Paragon, 🐻Epic's abandoned MOBA? It's coming back thanks to one dedicated group of fans.

If you didn't already know, Paragon was around even before Fortnite was on the scene. But thanks to the explosively popular battle royale, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Paragon was cancelled and shut down as Epic went all-in on Fortnite.

Now, Paragon is being revived as "Predecessor," and it's coming to PS5. You can see the early access trailer for the fan-m𒅌ade remake just below, which shows off the sort of action you can expect to find in Predecessor when it eventually launches in early access.

"We're excited to share that you can now wishlist Predecessor on the PlayStation Store ahead of its release later this year! Both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 will be s꧅upported," the notes, seemingly revealing🀅 there'll be a native PS5 version of Predecessor.

It's worth noting that Predecessor isn't even the only rema🧸ke of Epic's Paragon. It's been revived in various forms under different names, and some of its characters have even appeared in totally unrelated games since other devs could just reuse the models. Paragon: The Overprime, for example, is another fan-made remake of Epic's long🐲-gone MOBA, but unlike Predecessor, it was only ever released on PC via Steam. 

If you're wondering how and why Paragon remakes became such a thing, that's because Epic made all its assets avail♈able to all Unrea🐼l Engine developers a few years ago. This came after Paragon unfortunately bit the dust after not one, not two, but three ground-up overhauls, which meant an🐲yone could stitch together a Paragon revival if they were truly dedicated to the cause. It was never an amazing (or at all well-balanced) MOBA, but it clearly had enough charm to hook a 🎃small but dedicated audience.  

🧸Who knows, we could see more Paragon remakes out there in the future, and there may well be Parago༒n assets in other Unreal Engine games out there right now.
