MultiVersus Teases New Announcement

gamerant.com:

Player First Games has hinted that a new MultiVersus announcement is coming soon, as fans wonder when the fighting game will finally return. The recent tease follows a previous leak, which hinted that MultiVersus' full launch is approaching.

In late February, multiple signs indicated that MultiVersus' return was imminent. These signs included a leak from McDonald's, which has apparently prepared a set of MultiVersus-themed cards to be sold at its stores. It's not clear in which regions these cards will be sold, but a McDonald's employee in Canada posted them on Twitter and McDonald's Australia displayed them on their website. Additionally, MultiVersus' update history on SteamDB has shown consistent activity over the last couple of weeks. After months of waiting, it seems that MultiVersus fans can expect something big in the near future.

MultiVersus' Twitter account posted a tongue-in-cheek message that read, "*taps mic* testing, testing, 1, 2, 3." This seems to be an obvious hint that developer Player First Games is preparing a significant announcement, which could possibly be related to the game's release date. Player First previously confirmed that the game would return sometime in early 2024, and if that window remains true, MultiVersus should be released soon. However, delays are always possible.

MultiVersus' beta was shut down back in June. This led to a bit of controversy, as Warner Bros. refused to refund players who had made in-game purchases during the game's lengthy beta, although it assured fans that these items will still be in their inventories on release day. Since the beta's shutdown over eight months ago, Player First has presumably been focused on refining MultiVersus' gameplay and possibly adding new stages and characters.

Thanks to Warner Bros.' massive library of franchises, fans have pretty extensive wish lists regarding future additions to MultiVersus' character lineup. These requests include characters from Mortal Kombat, Harry Potter, and more.
