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
