News MultiVersus Dev Player First Games Snagged by Warner Bros
MergerVerse
MultiVersus would be worthless without developer Player First Games’ alliance with Warner Bros and access to its bottomless intellectual property vault, so it perhaps makes sense that the publisher has put a ring on the independent outfit’s finger and acquired the studio outright. It seems like very little will change at the Los...

News MultiVersus PS5, PS4 Dev Underfire for 'Bug' Allowing You to Buy Extra Lives
Would have got away with it if it weren't for those pesky kids
MultiVersus has re-released and we reckon it’s pretty good, as explained in our review. As is always with the case with free-to-play titles, though, its business model is being put under huge scrutiny. Many feel that the pace at which new characters can be unlocked is far too slow, and...

News PS5, PS4 Mascot Brawler MultiVersus Is Completely Reinventing Its Monetisation
Jason Voorhees free for returning players
MultiVersus was huge when it initially launched in beta last year, but we firmly believe its bland Battle Pass was part of its undoing. The mascot brawler delivered one of the least exciting seasons we’ve ever experienced in a live service game, and its player count plummeted as a result. Fortunately, as...

News Mark Hamill Reprises Role as The Joker for MultiVersus on PS5, PS4
"Get a load of me"
The relaunch campaign for MultiVersus has been strange to say the least. We’d expected Player First Games to go hard on all the new content it’s bringing to the title after it was unceremoniously taken offline several months ago, but outside of a 28th May release date, it’s not actually annou

That's all, folks
MultiVersus will no longer be available to download for new players and has been temporarily removed from digital storefronts like the PlayStation Store.
