Warner Bros. Games Acquires 'MultiVersus' Developer

a talented studio, sucked up into the microtransaction vortex of one of the worst publishers in the business.
a sad day.

genuinely sad this game was brought down by its ftp model, this game couldve been a strong smash substitute just with its legacy of IPs alone

it just feels janky and unfinished with stingy rewards. best of luck to the game but i already dipped out

@LadyCharlie Said publisher already made this studio's first and only game a microtransaction hellscape, so I guess that must have worked out well enough for WB to just buy them outright.

MultiVersus is a fun game at its core, but the awful monetization and battle pass grind made me drop the relaunch. It's a shame PFG had to work with Warner Bros. Games on this one. There obviously wasn't any other publisher choice for a WB crossover game, but WB absolutely ruined a game with a lot of promise and passion behind it. I want to get excited for the Betelgeuse announcement, but I know I'll probably pick the game back up for a few hours before dropping it after I remember how much it shoves microtransactions in the player's face at every possible moment.

The game has definitely gotten better with updates and the changes they announced in today stream definitely make it more friendly towards free to play players, still this seasons just was kinda bad, hopefully I leave season two with a better impression.

So you're excited to work with Warner Bros after they just laid off people who worked with them? Fascinating.

@boxyguy I am loving it petsonally.

I give it a year.

@ReaperMelia
The developer has a really unfortunate name considering what WB undoubtedly pushed them into doing for the relaunch.

How's the player base right now?

@Snatcher what changes did they announce?

Well that's a shame. I'd say it was fun while it lasted, but the only game they ever made was mid at best, and offensive to me on a spiritiual level at all other times.

Why should we care? The game isn't even on Switch and now the game is dying. I wonder why, a Smash Bros. clone not doing so well on platforms that doesn't give two jack about a platform fighter? I could never know why. Who knows more about Tom and Jerry, Bugs Bunny, Scooby Doo and Shaggy, Superman, the Batman, etc? My old pa and ma and the gramps knew about them, too bad they don't own a freaking PS5, PC, or Xbox Series X. They own a Switch though, seems like WB doesn't want to give them their MultiVersus. Miss opportunity right there WB. I had never seen a company that own millions of well known and popular IPs failed this badly next to Sega and Konami.

My condolences to the acquired studio. Under Warner Brothers Discovery especially, it likely won't end well for many. :'(

@Serpenterror The only part of this nonsense that remotely resembles a point is when you said WB mishandles their IPs. That part is correct. The rest of your comment is silly.

@Gryffin things to help with grind like removing getting characters from these really, really stupid and unfair thing called rifts, would had been great had they been fair, and agents smith was our first rift fighter. Going forward they said they will no longer be doing those I think, they also are adding a system for events so earning things like fighter currency and fighters are much easier to get by playing events.

Just looked at the roster. No Animaniacs representation?? Slappy the Squirrel would be awesome. "Now dat's cah-medy!"

And I'll just leave this here as well:

Private Snafu!
