MultiVersus (MVS) is a free-to-play crossover fighting game developed by Player First Games and published by Warner Bros. Games for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. A platform fighter, the game features content from Warner Bros. franchises, including Looney Tunes, Scooby-Doo, Game of Thrones, the DC Universe, and Cartoon Network franchises. Officially announced in November 2021 following online rumors and leaks,[2] early access and open beta versions of the game ran from July 2022 to June 2023. The game was fully released on May 28, 2024.[3][4]

Gameplay

MultiVersus is a platform fighter, with players battling on different stages and attempting to knock the opponent beyond the stage's boundary by dealing sufficient damage.[5][6][7] While 1-vs-1 and free-for-all options are available, the game emphasizes battling in teams of two characters;[8] most attacks in the game are designed with this in mind, including other players passively strengthening the move's effect. The game initially launched without a ranked queue nor free-for-all, which was present in the open beta. Free-for-all was readded in a post-launch season 1 update, and ranked was readded with season 2. Season 3 added a "casual queue" mode, similar to the "Co-Op vs. AI" mode from the open beta, "Wacky Weekends", where the aforementioned Rift mutators are applied to PvP, and "Testing Grounds", where new gameplay mechanics, like shields, are trialed for addition in future updates. Season 4 added an Arena game mode.

MultiVersus features a perk system, which allows players to customize their characters with passive abilities that will also affect their partners in Teams. These include Signature Perks, which are exclusive to a respective character and directly affect their attributes and abilities. In the open beta, perks' effects were enhanced if players on the same team both equipped them; in the final release, only select perks have this effect.

While MultiVersus is primarily a PvP game, its full release saw the introduction of the Rifts PvE game mode. Rifts each have their own narrative and consist of nodes with different mutators that affect gameplay. Most nodes are composed of battles and conclude with a boss fight, but some nodes will offer different types of gameplay. Players can equip Gems, which can be levelled up either through gameplay or through Gleamium. Gems have three different types: Defense, Attack and Utility, and they will only activate if the Rift's theme matches that of the currently-selected Gems. Completing nodes will grant rewards to the party, with an additional reward unlocked depending on how much stars were earned throughout.

Currencies and Battle Pass

MultiVersus features four currencies: Perk Currency, which is used to buy perks; Gleamium, a premium currency that can be used to buy variants, taunts, banners, profile icons, ringout effects, announcer packs and premium battle passes in addition to characters; Prestige, which is used to buy items in the Prestige Store; and Toasts, used to congratulate other players. Previously, Fighter Currency and Gold were obtainable currencies before being superceded.

Both Fighter Currency and Perk Currency are obtained by playing the game. They are frequently obtained from mission objectives, special events, rift levels, given out as daily login rewards, obtained in both versions of the battlepass, being "toasted", and earned by leveling up characters and the player's profile. Gleamium is far rarer to find via gameplay but is purchasable with real-world currencies, and completing the battle pass rewards enough for the following season's pass.[9] Gleamium can still be obtained for free from the free battle pass, leveling up a character to level 15, rewards from certain events, and logging in during specific days. Prestige points are obtained by collecting cosmetic items and can be used to purchase exclusive items from the Prestige Store. Perk Currency can only be used to unlock character Perks.

The Gold currency was present in the open beta and could be obtained while playing the game through various means. During certain events, specific tokens or currencies were earned by playing in any mode and playing with specific character variants doubles the amount. These currencies were then used to purchase cosmetic items or, during certain events, traded for Gold, with 10 Gold for every 500 units of a specific token. All unused Gold after the open beta ended was converted into Perk Currency. Fighter Currency, which was used to purchase characters, was used in the first three seasons of the full launch. It was retired with season four and replaced with "Fighter Road", which allows players to grind experience to unlock characters, while remaining Fighter Currency will be kept in players' inventory.

The Battle Pass contains two tiers: Normal, which is free for all players; and Premium, which requires Gleamium to purchase. In both tiers, players earn points by completing daily and seasonal missions. Obtainable items include currencies, characters (up until season three), gem boosters, in-game cosmetics like variants and taunts, and profile cosmetics such as icons and banners. Progress in both tiers is tied; if the Premium tier is purchased after progress is made on the Normal tier, all rewards will retroactively be obtained. Individual tiers can be purchased with Gleamium. The highest battle pass level with an obtainable item is level 70, where players unlock a unique variant for the character that launched alongside it. Levels 71 and later grant players a random currency. Season four introduces a change to battle passes: with characters being unlocked through "Fighter Road", characters are no longer given as part of the battle pass, and two passes will be made available throughout the season. Levels are now capped at 45, with level 46 onward rewarding a random currency.

Toasts are obtainable through Gleamium, logging in, daily missions, the in-game store, or by getting "toasted". Toasting other players will give them 5 Fighter Currency (previously Gold in the open beta).

Playable characters

MultiVersus launched with 26 playable characters. As of December 2024, this has been expanded to 33.[10] With one exception, Reindog, these characters originate from Warner Bros. franchises. Voice acting is prominently emphasized, and several voice actors reprise their respective roles from other media. Characters can be any one of four classes—Assassin, Bruiser, Mage/Ranged and Tank[11]—and are best suited for covering a specific direction, these being horizontal, vertical, or hybrid.[11] A fifth class, Support, was present only in the open beta, which consisted of Gizmo, Reindog, Steven Universe, and Velma. Characters are obtainable through Fighter Road (from Season 4 onward), Fighter Currency, Gleamium, special currencies, the first tier of the Battle Pass (from season one of full launch to season three), special bundles, or Character Tickets (which were obtainable through the Founders' Pack).

Every character has at least one playable variant, some of which have different voice actors or dialogue from the default variant. Characters can be unlocked through gameplay, or purchased using Gleamium, Fighter Currency, or Character Tickets included with the Founder's Pack content packages; four specific characters are also playable for all users on a rotating basis.[12][13] As of Season 4, characters are unlocked through Fighter Road, where players can unlock one character at a time through progression and earning XP, though the ability to purchase characters is still available. The open beta initially launched with 17 characters, with new characters regularly introduced in subsequent updates.

Development

The trailer for MultiVersus

The game is developed by Player First Games (PFG).[2][6][7] Dedicated servers, rollback netcode, and voice acting have been promoted as prominent features, and the team intend to release new content and characters via constant updates.[8] The game held a closed alpha test from February 25 to March 8, 2022.[29]

Background

Prior to its announcement in November 2021, rumors of the game surfaced from multiple sources.[8] Initially, a user on the subreddit r/GamingLeaksandRumours claimed that the game was in development as early as 2019 following the release of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Warner Bros.' acknowledgement of the Ultra Instinct Shaggy Internet meme. The user also claimed that the idea of a crossover influenced the filming of Space Jam: A New Legacy,[30][31] although the validity of these claims is uncertain.

On October 27, 2021, professional Super Smash Bros. player Juan "Hungrybox" DeBiedma shared an image on Twitter showing what he alleged was the character selection screen for MultiVersus.[32] The image was deleted after Warner Bros. submitted a DMCA takedown request, which DeBiedma stated was a "hard confirm" of the photograph's veracity.[33][34] The image included Gandalf and Rick Sanchez as playable characters in place of Arya Stark and Garnet, and Superman and Steven Universe's designs were updated to be shown in the trailer. Jeff Grubb, a gaming insider, confirmed that LeBron James would feature in the game.[35] Internal game design documents for the game were leaked on ResetEra.[36][37][38] Following the tech test, gameplay footage was leaked online.[39]

On May 26, 2022, a subsequent leak revealed additional playable characters, including Daenerys Targaryen and Ted Lasso.[40]

Early access and open beta

An early access version was released on July 19 for participants of selected events, including the game's closed playtests and those competing in the game's first 2v2 tournament at the 2022 Evolution Championship Series, and via Twitch's Drops reward system and purchasable founder's packs.[41] During the 2022 San Diego Comic-Con event, Rick Sanchez, Morty Smith and LeBron James were announced as playable characters.[42] The open beta was released on July 26, 2022, serving as a soft launch for the game.[43][44] Throughout the open beta, a Founder's Pack paid-DLC was sold through Steam, the Epic Games Store, the Microsoft Store, and the PlayStation Store. It was available in Standard, Deluxe, and Premium editions.[45]

During the open beta, Bugs Bunny players held the number-one ranked slot in both 1-v-1 and 2-v-2 leaderboards.[46] The character's prevalence among top-ranked 2-v-2 players was notable,[46] leading to changes to Bugs' abilities and those of Wonder Woman implemented after EVO 2022.[47][48] During and after the open beta, various characters' abilities have been frequently modified;[49] notably, a police car featured in one of Velma Dinkley's abilities was replaced with the Mystery Machine.[50]

MultiVersus' first season was originally scheduled to launch on August 9, 2022, but was delayed to August 15.[51][52] The game's second and final season during open beta launched on November 15.[53]

On March 27, 2023, it was announced that the open beta would end on June 25, and the game would go offline in preparation for a full launch on May 28, 2024.[54] This was despite PFG's prior statement, which read, "MultiVersus hits Open Beta on July 26 and then we're here to stay."[55] Offline functionality was retained during the downtime, but the game was made unobtainable for new players.[56]

Full game launch

In March 2024, it was announced that MultiVersus would relaunch on May 28, 2024, for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. It will feature full cross-play and cross-progression support, and include a new PvE game mode. For the full launch, Player First Games rebuilt the game in Unreal Engine 5 to support better netcode and visuals,[57] however as a result of the switch many features that existed in the open beta went missing or weren't fully complete, with promises made for those to be re-implemented down the line.[58] Such instances of missing features included ranked matchmaking, a free-for-all PvP mode, and post-match stats, all of which returned in post-launch updates.

In July 2024, Player First Games was acquired by Warner Bros. Games.[59]

Reception

The game received generally positive reviews during its open beta. IGN wrote "MultiVersus may not be a must-play at social gatherings, but its refreshing team-based battles make it a great platform fighter online." Play summarized that it was "full of love for the characters, and crunchy to play, you owe it to yourself to give this a go—though the monetisation methods are off-putting."

Its launch on Steam was the most successful for a WB Games title, and the biggest launch for a fighting game released on the platform.[71]

The game topped the American sales charts for July 2022,[72] falling to number 5 the following month.[73] It was the most downloaded game on the US PlayStation Store for the same month, and number 2 in Europe.[74] It also topped the sales charts in Australia.[75] It was the most popular title on the Steam Deck platform.[76]

By August 2022, the game had reached 10 million players.[77] By September, it had reached 20 million.[78] By February 2023, the game experienced a significant drop in daily players, which a Kotaku article attributed to a lack of updates and new characters.[79] Trackers for the Steam version reported an average daily peak of roughly 1,300 players over the last 30 days, marking the title's lowest player count since launch.[80] The announcement of the closure of the open beta surprised players who believed that the game was already fully released and had paid for premium content.[79][81]

Of the re-release, Kotaku said that the "joy is propped up by a dumpster fire full of free-to-play, service gaming tropes, some so poorly thought out or predatory that it’s shocking they made it out the gate at all". They concluded that "some forces behind these kinds of games are always ready to push the boundaries on monetization. It feels wrong, ethically, to participate in, and especially to recommend this game to others."[82] The game was further criticized for how certain variants were released, as players were incentivized into purchasing them with real-world currencies and had limited options to obtain them in other ways.[83]

In June 2024 the game again topped the free game download charts in North America and Europe.[84] In November 2024, Warner Bros. Games stated that the game "significantly underperformed".[85]
