MultiVersus Confirms Gleamium Can Now Be Earned In-Game
Almost one year after being taken from storefronts, MultiVersus is finally coming back in just a couple of months, along with a bunch of new improvements such as rollback netcode, a new engine, and potentially a new character or two. Director Tony Huynh explained in developer Player First's announcement video that the team has been working on making improvements based on feedback, and one of the community's biggest issues with the beta has been addressed as a result.

All of these are very positive changes to the game's monetization, something that was criticized heavily during the open beta, but today's release date announcement still wasn't enough to satisfy some of the more skeptical in
