Predecessor Patch 1.15.3 Adds Summer Skins and In-Game Gifting
The balance patch brings a wave of seasonal cosmetics and a long-requested gifting feature — though the patch notes themselves were cut short.
Predecessor's Balance Patch 1.15.3, published July 22 2026, arrives with a broad cosmetics rollout centered on a Summer Fun theme, alongside the introduction of in-game gifting.
What changed
Summer Fun skins have been added for several heroes, with individual skins, bundles, and color variants across:
- Dekker — Bubblegum, Grape, Cherry, Apple, and Ink variants, plus an icon and banner
- Maco — Bubblegum, Cherry, Grape, Mango, and Apple variants
- Shinbi — Cherry, Grape, Mango, and Lime variants
New bundle variants were also added for TwinBlast (Vaporwave, Heatwave), Narbash (Mango, Bubblegum, Foam), and additional items featuring Sparrow, Murdock, Gideon, Renna, Yurie, and others.
Summer Bundle Core — Six new exclusive items join the core drop pool, with no duplicate drops and equal drop chances across all rewards.
Gifting is rolling out with this patch, allowing players to send cosmetics directly to friends from within the game. The announcement notes that the feature will not be available in certain countries, with the source listing several by name before the text ends.
The patch title references balance changes, but the source text does not contain the balance change details themselves — only the cosmetic and gifting announcements are present.
For players who have wanted to share cosmetics with friends, gifting marks a meaningful addition to how Predecessor's store functions.
