After 8 months of silence, the MultiVersus X account is teasing an announcement
05.03.2024 - 21:21 / videogameschronicle.com / Tom Ivan
The official MultiVersus X account has posted its first update in over eight months, seemingly hinting at plans to launch the game soon.
“*taps mic* testing, testing, 1, 2, 3,” reads a message published on Tuesday.
It’s the account’s first update since last June, when the game’s open beta ended, and it went on “hiatus” ahead of a planned release in 2024.
Today’s tease comes shortly after the Happy Meal page on the Australian McDonald’s website said a MultiVersus promotion was “coming soon”.
MultiVersus, which launched as an open beta in July 2022, is a Smash Bros-style crossover fighting game featuring characters from a variety of Warner Bros. properties, including DC Comics, Looney Tunes, Cartoon Network, Game of Thrones, Tom & Jerry, Gremlins, Rick & Morty and The Iron Giant.
It was initially very popular, with a peak of more than 143,000 players on Steam on day one, rising to 153,433 the following day.
A month after its launch, Warner claimed that over 20 million players had already downloaded and played the game, suggesting it had a strong base on which to build.
After this, however, the daily peak player count fell dramatically, and by February 2023 it had dipped below 1,000 for the first time, marking a drop in daily peak player count of 99.4% in less than seven months.
Part of the reason for the drop in players may have been a tepid response to the game’s second season, which was lengthy and relatively light in new content.
The website gametalkz.com is an aggregator of news from open sources. The source is indicated at the beginning and at the end of the announcement. You can send a complaint on the news if you find it unreliable.
