Despite its open beta falling by the wayside, MultiVersus had a ton of potential heading into its full launch. While the netcode, characters and gameplay feel solid, everything else needs extensive improvements.

MultiVersus shows there's enough promise to expand the platform fighter genre with a new focus on 2v2 gameplay and intriguing movesets for each character. We didn't call Mortal Kombat a Street Fighter clone, despite them sharing a 2D plane. Nintendo didn't even begin the platform fighter genre: it only popularized it. The term "Smash Clone" is a demeaning one, which is a huge turnoff for many. MultiVersus should get love for its concept, and as it continues to build, hopefully it will get its time in the sun.

MultiVersus has got to be the textbook example of how even the most recognizable properties don't guarantee the success of a live service game. Launched in open beta back in July 2022, complete with microtransactions, the platform fighter developed by Player First Game was abruptly taken down the following year. While the dwindling number of players since launch may have played a part in taking the game offline, the developer assured that MultiVersus would be coming back in 2024 better than ever with a lot of changes based on player feedback.

According to the Multiversus FAQ page, "items earned from a MultiVersus Battle Pass are not exclusive. There may be opportunities to earn some of these items in the game at a later date," which gives hope for those who need to watch their budget, even if there is...

Characterful fighters, a good skill ceiling, and a co-op emphasis with real depth makes Warner Bros. MultiVersus a very pleasant surprise.

MultiVersus manages to carve a distinct section of the newly booming platform fighter genre out for itself using some of the biggest fictional names on the planet. The game’s lineup, consisting of cartoon royalty like Bugs Bunny appearing alongside contemporary favorites like Arya Stark from Game of Thrones, is quite telling of how deep WB’s bench can go and how weird the game is willing to get. Over time its roster could easily become a spectacle on par with what Nintendo’s mascot fighter has to offer, and if it can improve the fluff around its solid core, it could very...

MultiVersus still has a ways to go, but it's already the closest thing to a rival that Smash has ever seen.

The Smash-like whiffs on some aspects, but is otherwise a great matchup.

“MultiVersus feels like a corporate product, but Player First Games gets the most out of its ridiculous premise.”

Warner Bros. has given new studio Player First Games some of its most popular characters to carve out space in the Smash Bros.-dominated IP-crossover-fighter genre. MultiVersus succeeds where others have failed, but it still has some growing to do.

What if Bugs Bunny could beat up Batman? Why are you asking such a silly question? Either way, here's the ridiculous MultiVersus.

MultiVersus succeeds at making this crossover an epic clash, but the online needs to be improved across the board to keep players invested.

Warner Bros' all-star battle proves to be a worthy contender to the platform fighter throne.

MultiVersus lives up to its promise of delivering battles between iconic Warner Bros. characters. It has a solid foundation that could make it a competitor to Nintendo’s Smash Bros.
