MultiVersus Is Working On A "Big Overhaul" Of Its Hitboxes

MultiVersus' director Tony Huynh has revealed that the team is working on a "big overhaul" of its hitboxes, and that it's the reason why Finn hasn't been nerfed yet.

Although MultiVersus is enjoying quite a bit of success in its early access period, it's not without its fair share of problems.

In response to a player asking whether Finn would be getting a nerf that toned down how much priority his moves get, Huynh said, "We’ll be looking at Finn in sections, we are working on a big overhaul of our hitbox/hurtbox system so don’t want too many moving parts".
