The Most Beautiful MOBA that NEVER released...

This MOBA was cancelled abruptly and its assets - valued at $17 million - were handed out for free by the developer. But it gets even crazier.
Now let me paint you a picture here - MOBAs are the flavor of the month and everyone and their mothers are playing either League or Dota - with both esports scenes grabbing millions of eyeballs on a weekly basis.
Enter, Epic Games with their MOBA, Paragon.

Paragon is the pinnacle of releasing a good game in a bad market.
Titanfall 2 has entered the chat
@@maurcusgibson4913 titan fall 2 was mad successful what u mean
@@seakaru its launch was horrible
@@seakaruit wasn't successful at all
Game was good and then they ruined the gameplay less than a year after it started with the updates.
There are a few games that are trying to bring back the original feel of Paragon. The one that me and my friends play is called predecessor. Its pretty new, and its blatently obvious that it is. Theres only like 20 heroes and updates are somewhat slow, but this is the game the original developers thought was the closest to their original vision. I encourage everyone to try it out.
I've always wondered what's different about predecessor and overprime. I've always only seen it as one being paid and the other free to play.
Btw it’s on steam “Paragon : The Overprime”I think
Hell yeah im def gonna check it out
@@hawky2k671 they are 2 different ones Predecessor is 5 euros and overprime is free
@@-silver-6363 Predecessor is currently in a paid beta period. It will be free on full release
pretty sick that they made the assets public and free
It's always bittersweet to see games use them. Beautiful models, but always a reminder of Paragon not making it
Paragon was so much fun, shame it just disappeared
It’s on steam now btw
Predecessor is the real paragon remake.
Never seen a game tank so hard from one patch. It was insane.
i do not think it patch, it more like people aren't coming in as they thought to be, so its making low money while spending big money for it to be sustained and then fortnite came into the scene so the overhauled everything
Not this iteration, the prior one like 3 or so years ago. Literally killed the game over night.@@jesuschrist1501
Pretty neat that they refunded all purchases. They didn't have to do that
That is really a good guy greg move for them. APEX Mobile will be shutting down with no refunds.
This game had so much potential I miss this game
I miss this MOBA, played it heavily during beta and loved the feel of it. Sad Epic had to focus on Fortnite.
It’s on steam now
@@hawky2k671 Paragon: the Overprime, is on steam. It's another fan game, which Epic has given permission to use the name Paragon for. Not really the actual Paragon. Other Paragon-likes include Predecessor and Fault
there is predecessor as well, its really close to the original paragon and it will release this year for free. currently there is a paid early access. dont waste your time with overprime, this remake is crap and feels like a mobile game. predecessor it is, try it out
@@Daemic9Pred is the better version
I absolutely loved Paragon. I was a wu Kong main. Loved playing it.
Scumbag. Jk i loved wu. Pre nerfs wu was the literal best and it felt good having someone to counter khaimera for a change 😒😂 i was a versatile player i loved all roles or maybe i just loved paragon that much man rip
Time to play Predecessor boys! LETS GO!
Another promising legend, taken down before its release. First Lawbreakers, then paragon 😢
now we got overprime (free and based from paragon) and you can play it from steam. For me overprime is pretty solid and arcadey, it have feels like mobile phone moba but its fun.
There is another moba based from paragon too in steam but its not free and i didnt remember the title
I really liked Paragon. Very sad it got cancelled :(
It’s on steam
Ah so it got relaunched thx
@@bracat69 it did not relaunch. there ale a few studios who use their assets to recreate the game in their way. predecessor and overprime are the two main ones, who didnt get canceled. overprime is crap to be honest, it feels like a mobile game. predecessor is very nice, it will release this year for free, its currently in paid early access
@@owy99ah thx imma check it out when its out. Ive played multiple mobas but overprime is probably the worst one till now. The only plus is the graphics. I still get pleased in bot lobbys and 50% of the time the Eu servers are down so i need to play at Na servers with 300 ping.
Bro I remembered Paragon, was so hyped for it
Nobody gonna talk about the 2 hour queue times in paragon?
They were fucking awful. The fact your elo didn’t decay after say a month’s break also was so disheartening so you just redownload and wait a fucking hour to just play a round due to how borked the mmr is and how low the player count was
What did you expect tryna game while living in Antartica. Over here in the US it was never an issue
If you guys miss this game, well good news there are two games trying to be its successor. The first one is entirely free to play call OverPrime which goes off the early days of Paragon with a “sprint mode” mechanic and fast paced fights. OverPrime has ranked, stats progression and everything you’d expect from a MOBA but has some big issues with the matchmaking taking longer due to the strict mmr alongside big server issues that still haven’t been resolved.
Predecessor is a paid early access title (cheapest entry was ten bucks until they took away the early buyer discount) at twenty bucks but is based off the Monolith update. Map is smaller but the gameplay is extremely refined despite lacking in the content department since it doesn’t have ranked, stats or the hero pool OverPrime has. It’s matchmaking however is fast at 2-3 mins at minimum even at dead times depending on server however your match quality will vary so keep that in mind.
Overall if you are a Paragon fan or were curious about it and hated the card system, these two successors are fun and removed that godawful card system with a familiar item shop like all other MOBAs have.
I finally, finnaaaallly managed to get over my sadness over the closing of Paragon. Then! You come and remind me of it again. How could you!
Yall remember the old Epic Games Launcher that had only paragon, fortnite, and ut?
My friend and I used to play smite back then on the PS4, I remember we both saw this and we were both so excited for it and we played it so much while it was live, it was so good
Paragon failed because Epic Games wanted Fortnite Battle Royale to succeed.
I was an early adopter of both and was super into Fortnite Save the World. When they stopped working on STW and put all resources into BR I was salty because I didn't care about BR. At this point STW was out for about 6 months and I had about 200 hrs into it. I requested a refund on STW and all microtransactions through support because I was salty and they gave me a full refund without any resistance and during the refund they also gave me a full refund on Paragon without me asking for it.
I was a little hurt because I expected them to refuse the refund and say they were still working on STW but now, years later, I tried to log into STW and expected my account to be reset but they let me keep everything I had before the refund.
*"Everyone and their mothers are playing either league or dota"*
*Mlbb : Hold my copied assets🗿💯*
"flavor of the month" laughs in 12 years
LOVE THIS. THANKS BRO. I REALLY REALLY LOVED THIS GAME. THANKS FOR THE CLOSURE. I COULD CRY.
"We'll save the world, one brainrotten child at a time.' - EPIC, probably.
Paragon was so GOATED I was in the jungle like TARZAN THEN GANK YOU😂‼️
Now it’s Predecessor and it’s even better
It's just a LOL but Paragon Heroes
now there is predecessor, they use paragons assets and it will release free this year. it is in paid early access right now
Still have the data installed in my ps4 including all the free assets given away before it's shutdown. Hope they patched it to function offline tho. I love to play a quick game even against bots.
Awsomnauts is also a hidden moba gem.
I've played a lot MOBA's and it was definitely one of the better alternatives to your standard dota/lol. Found it a real shame when it got dropped as I really saw some potential in the game and it was hella fun.
I was there from the beggining i remember it like it was yesterday beautiful game amazing graphics and character designs then they started doing some updates changed the maps and card systems and just went to shit it was honestly sad cuz it holds a place in my heart till this day luckily a few studios are trying ti remake and one even had a beta for ps5 its called overprime the pragaon and predecessor imo overprime is superior but both have their own place
I still got mad clips recorded for Paragon. I cut my hand open and spent 12 weeks wrecking folks with Murdoc!
I still remember the sadness i felt, when Paragon’s Shutdown was announced
I own a hard copy. This game was mad fun
I loved Paragon I wanted to work for Epic to help with this game and then. Bam it was over.
guys they really bring back paragon again although now from netmarble but still they bring back it again. it's still early access though
Man paragon was so much fun 😢
Finally Paragon is getting talked about again
I played Paragon back than. I liked the first few rounds but quickly got disinterested when stuff like the minimap or the card building where broken.
There is now overprime and brettymuch like paragon
I played paragon so much on PS4 it was so fun man. I hate it had to go but it was great while it was here.
it was actually quite fun. Was sad to see it die.
R.i.p. paragon. Hoping predecessor actually releases on console and succeeds.
Dekker i miss u boo 💙
Predecessor. nuff said :)
I played paragon and it was absolutely amazing. such a shame it closed down. never got my refund for skins I bought tho 🤔
It's like Vainglory. Killed by the devs.
Look into predecessor. All the assets from paragon. As close as were gonna get.
I loved paragon so much
Paragon was SOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUN!!!!!!! God I'm STILL thinking about Revenant (best character, fight me) all these years later
Absolutely miss Paragon
Would love a revival of this game
They did. It’s called Predecessor
@@notvolrachDid you mean League ver. of Paragon?
I will never forgive epic for shutting down paragon. This was my favorite game.
I played nonstop from launch to finish. I hope it makes a "comeback"
it's literally on steam right now
@@Sinaeb unfortunately its just 2 not really good copies of the original
It’s not that it didn’t gain traction, there were many playing it with overwhelming servers, Epic just didn’t care about it, same as Gigantic. Of course don’t quote me on anything I say, but I also believe I heard that Epic didn’t release the assets, the smaller group in charge of the production did. Also it’s still playable on steam with many people making great Predecessors.
I loved paragon. And I hate fortnites success.
They are picking it up again it seems. I've seen people like Incon play it a lot recently
I liked paragon a lot
i honestly find it insane that SMITE's lasted this long
I used to play this game so much!
It’s on steam now
@@hawky2k671 yo fr?!
paragon was so good!
EPIC Games' confidence with Fortnite being able to get enough revenue to recover from whatever setback that $17M caused is admirable.
Small sacrifice
Ngl i would vibe a lot with a 3rd person moba
moba flavor of the month?
You forgot to say ITS AN EPIC EXCLUSIVE so actual gamers ignored it
I loved the game but it’s true: Nobody really played it though it was really fun.
now talk about vainglory
u guys life behind a rock not to realize its got picked up again and even is on steam
lol I still got paragon downloaded on my ps4
Never got my refund...
Similar vibes with Vainglory, both were MOBAs that looked way better than its competitors.
but their is one moba that really really deserve a second chance to thriving and that is vainglory.
It aint paragon the overprime right? Cuz i am playing this game rn. Did it get rereleased on steam or is it an other Paragon Game. The Charakter he shows at the end is in the game so….
Paragon's nice and all but can we talk about how much of an evolutionary success and failure Vainglory was like that game was a gem and now it's gone
Play predecessor now
Isn't there a nft game named paragon now?
it’s out with a new name lol been out. no one showed it love on re release so yall better not talk abt it now.
I don't know what the gameplay was like but honestly if your games main selling point is looks, death was beyond deserved. Gameplay over graphics people.
Predecessor>>>Overprime. It’s clear by far, give it it’s time and it’ll shine. Already fun asf, just lacks content, but if yk what the meaning of a Early Access is then u’ll realise that content is on its way. Roadmap has been published as well.
still not a single new video or even short about dota 2
Don't worry I spammed months for a piece of starcraft content, they showed up with a short about FlaSh :D still no sc2, no dota, nothing but val, league and csgo
@@mauzytv You understard PepeHands
Paragon is out, wdym
I saw something like this played by a vtuber and it is free I think in steam but I forgot the title of the game
Paragon : we will refund everyone
Apex mobile : what's a refund
Poor apex mobile players
Ok I feel stupid but what does MOBA stand for...
Multiplayer Online Battle Arena
They rereleased the game last year
In an alternate timeline Fortnite was cancelled and this game became one of the famous games of all time.
Now we have a literal predecessor.
paragon goat
I liied paragon and played it often. But the kids wanted FoRtNitE so epic games was like, why not?
Wow
Paragon: the overprime and predecessor are the two best options rn. Overprime is free and imo better than predecessor. I love the game so much and it truly is amazing.
Still hate epic games for that move. Shut down the paragon servers to exchange them for fortnite servers. They could have made millions with paragon just like league. But at least a chinese game developer is bought the paragon „files“ and is making a version off it due to realese in 2023 lets see if it will be good. Can’t remember the name tho but i remember stuff about it was released about it on the paragon reddit page
Fortnite just made them millions so...
@@alohatigers1199 sadly. I think they could have made more if they just had kept it. Might even have been just as good as league or better
I played it for 400 hours. It wasn’t that good.
Would’ve destroyed smite
Now it's Paragon the Overprime. There's a cheap knock off called predecessor but that one is boring and slowly developed.
Gigantic was better
sad
How the faw you spene 17mio on assets to a game not relased,not knowing its market potential yet etc? Hahahahah the decisions
I'm not sure why its not mentioned, but "Paragon the Overprime" is on steam, and its pretty much identical (as far as I'm aware) to the original that got cancelled, and its free
Paragon Overprime is more of a fast pace version of the original, If you want the OG Paragon, I suggest Predecessor.
Paragon and overprime are both dead games now
