Tony Hyunh, the game director of MultiVersusas well as founder of Player First Games, announced on video the official date of the free-to-play relaunch of the gameafter a long pause: May 28, 2024.
Hyunh explained that the team listened to community feedback, worked on the gameplay experience after the open beta, and that various changes and updates were made to improve the gameplay experience.
Novelty
The revised and corrected version of MultiVersus will have new iconic characters and new levels at launch. The game engine has changed and now runs with Unreal Engine 5. In this way it was possible to improve the graphics and lighting. The network code has also been completely rewritten to be more performant.
The characters will deliver new fighting techniques. The historical ones have also been revised in this sense. Among the new features, a PvE mode stands out which will yield unique rewards.
In reality the video, apart from making the announcement and some general details of the news, does not reveal much else. Even the new gameplay shown is very little. Hyunh, however, promised that data will be provided in the coming weeks other details.
In short, the rumors of recent weeks that the return of MultiVersus was imminent have been confirmed. This was the case, a sign that Warner Bros. Discovery still believes in the commercial potential of the game. We'll see if the new version manages to recapture players.
