I'm quite literally flabbergasted they have the balls to do this without refunding peoples purchases. I still played very occasionally so i'm meh on the whole thing
(mainly because the player count got so low it was impossible to be matched against anyone who hadn't been born with a controller in hand playing fighters for the past 20 years)
but if i had spent any real money on it at all i'd be *pissed* and up in arms.
Yeah, given how apparently shitty the paid rewards were even before these shenanigans, this is going to go down in history for how not to do a free-to-play fighter.
If it does come back, and I am hoping it does, they really need to use this time to
Finish hurt/hit box changes. The hurtbox change was good, but not perfect, and hitboxes are still absurd af.
Actual rollback. Just, fix it.
Probably reevaluate their character design to have real goals per. The stuff they do have seems to be a bit too loose. Support is all over the place.
Probably a good 5 or 6 costumes per character, something to purchase that isn't a shitty battle pass.
Honestly, I'd argue another 5-10 characters, but that's cause I love characters and not a lot of what they have is actually interesting to me. I could see them not having any on return, tho that definitely feels like a bad move out of the gate on their relaunch. Even just 1 or 2 would help with pulling people back.
The leaker is, of course, Belgian McDonald's are advertising Multiversus Happy Meal toys
(also there have been a number of backend updates on the Steam servers for the game over the past day, right before the Game Awards but this "leak" is more fun)
The game was taken offline during it's open beta for retooling and improvement, and was said to be coming back at some point.
🌮Deadpool 4 MVS🌮 @mercWmouthMVS
i think we MIGHT get a Multiversus release date/news soon, i went to mcdonalds and saw THIS.
(translation: Soon in your happymeal)
They promised an early 2024 return, and the last third of Q2 is NOT that, so they had to announce something or people would assume the game became another victim of Warner Bros. and their tax write-offs.
I also forgot about the McDonald’s Happy Meal promotion. It would raise a lot of questions to have Happy Meals with no word from the dev team about “launch”.
Also shows that the relaunch was supposed to be around now and obviously fell through
Gandalf the Grey (Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring)
They rebuilt the entire game in UE5 which is surprising. Also new netcode which is welcome.
I'll definitely be looking forward to this. In some of their images there is a Brain floating heading (Pinky and the Brain) and another that there isn't a consensus on.
Looks to be some new movesets, there was an example of a dash attack.
Also a PowerPuff Girls and Dexter's Lab stage.
Definitely the launch got pushed back though, the McDonald's piece is 4 months too early and started a while back in Europe.
I'm just hoping with the netcode and engine changes the game doesn't feel too different.
They updated their FAQ as well, looks like you can earn Gleamium (Premium Currency) in-game now, probably through the battle pass.
I play with an old high school friend, we used to play a ton of smash and neither of us got into SSBU. We got into the top 100 on a few characters and oh boy the fights got sweaty but it was a ton of fun. I think our Bugs and Taz were in the 30's and the highest we got.

It's possible the May slot wasn't available - toy production typically takes a LOT of advance planning, and someone else might have grabbed it already. Also interesting that the promotion is jigsaw puzzles in tins, as that's a lot quicker and easier to produce than unique plastic molds. It could be that WB saw a (somewhat baffling) last-minute opportunity and jumped on it.
Gandalf the Grey (Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring)
They butchered BA in the last balance change, he wasn't even top tier and they made him probably the worst char. I hope they redeem him. I was using him prior to that nuke.
Gandalf the Grey (Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring)
Loving that Agent Smith, I would actually prefer him over Neo so I'm pleased.
I did like all the hints, there was also Aquaman Trident, Samurai Jack sword, Raven's Pentagram, Wicked Witch broomstick, Bubbles plushie, Dexter's glasses, and Marceline's axe guitar.

Its like Harley is the closest to a smash character and everyone else requires way to much work
Got my Bugs up to 5500mmr but only really play now when my friend is on.
...huh
Edit: dammit Musk breaking Twitter. The official Multiversus account has come back to life with a test tweet so we may get news soon.

Because the Suicide Squad game bombed and WB really, REALLY wants better game revenue.
With their commitment to lice service games nobody likes anymore In sure that will work

Heh, based on the promotion it looks like Multiversus is actually keeping Black Adam - I'm a little surprised WB didn't dump the character out of embarrassment over the movie debacle.
Lotta interesting changes. They may have actually used the time wisely.
The only one I'm not sure on is the change in scale of player models. Making them bigger for the purposes of visibility seems like an odd choice.
I like everything else though, agree with your earlier post though that things will likely feel quite different.
Street Fighter models have fucking giant hands and feet for this exact reason, it isn't unheard of.
Mark Hammil returns for The Joker!
I swear he's done his last performance as the joker at least a couple times before this
Worth noting they likely recorded Joker stuff before Kevin passed.
I mean yeah, my point was like "Joker and Batman together one last time" kind of decision making.
New CGI trailer that reveals Jason and Agent Smith
I did like all the hints, there was also Aquaman Trident, Samurai Jack sword, Raven's Pentagram, Wicked Witch broomstick, Bubbles plushie, Dexter's glasses, and Marceline's axe guitar.
I can't wait to start playing this again.
Bold of them to go with "launching" rather than "re-launching" on the date drop at the end.
Game of Thrones isn't?
Hopefully we get Beetlejuice in there.
