MultiVersus is in Grave Danger

  • MultiVersus, the Cartoon Network and Warner Bros. platform fighter inspired by Super Smash Bros, is in danger. The game recently hit a record low in the number of players, dropping by more than 99% less than a year after its release. Will MultiVersus manage to survive the recent trend of online games shutting down?
    At first glance, MultiVersus seemed like a great competitor for the Super Smash Bros franchise. With Cartoon Network properties like Regular Show and Adventure Time, as well as other Warner Bros. properties like Scooby-Doo and Game of Thrones playing a role here, there's a character for everyone! However, several problems have led to an insanely low amount of players keeping up with MultiVersus. It's not a great sign for the future.

    I think people don't have enough time for live service games anymore, which is why Multiversus was declining. Plus, there's something about an old game you can come back to and enjoy years later, but you can't do that with live service games because they aren't the same game you left, if it's even there at all. This is also another reason why I prefer single-player experiences way more!

    The game has some hidden lore mentioning an entity known as "The Nothing" being the cause for the different WB properties colliding with each other. A lot of people speculate this Nothing is referring to the main villain from The Never-Ending Story which makes sense not only for the entity sharing the same name but also coming from a WB property. Unfortunately, the Nothing has not physically appeared in Multiverses yet and if the game is going to keep declining then I guess we will never see the Nothing in the game...

    As a fan of fighting games, you need a good constant schedule of new content to keep players around but at the same time, this heavy push for esports is hurting the genre as seen with games like Nickelodeon All Star Brawl, MVC infinite, Street Fighter 5(in its first 2 years), Dead or Alive 6, and Dissidia NT Final Fantasy

      Don't forget SSB, MK & Tekken. Yes they need to keep adding new content like new characters, new map/area, new mechanics, new movesets, and balancing. If they stopped doing that they will die faster than devs/fanbase thought since in the end the mainstream players is the one keeping the game big & alive. If they fail to appeal, they would be gone a long time ago.
      Yes its hurting them, make already good mechanics and actually fair keep more simplified and eventually thrown away what's unique about them slowly. But in order to keep relevant they need to do this to keep the mainstream playerbases.

In the context of technology, those moments pass by in seconds." and "Everything’s fresh for about six seconds- until some newer thing beckons- and we hit refresh, and there’s years of persevering disappearing into the pile; out of style, out of sight." people get excited for something new they haven't experienced and once they had seen it all they lose interest and look for the next new thing, that's pretty much how Fall guys got forgotten in a month because Among us hype spiked

    Its not just Multiversus. There is an oversaturation of Live Service games and everyone only has so much time to devote to a game/games. Unless you got a well polished or super engaging game, chances are its not long for this world. Looks like the Live Service model may be on its way out. For some of us who miss when games were about having fun and not having to open your wallet any time you wanted to get somewhere in it, its certainly not going to be missed.

    • @Miriam_J_
      @Miriam_J_ Рік тому +3

      Most fighting games are live services, though. We just don't call them that. We're going to buy Street Fighter 6 fully knowing the game will get consistent balance patches and new characters. That's exactly what a love service is, no? Supporting a game by buying its new content so they can make more content is the definition of live service. Fighting games especially are known for forming dedicated fan bases despite this, yet Multiversus failed to do so. imo, people aren't tired of live services, they're tired of bland, soulless games. There is just absolutely nothing charming about Multivurses. Everything from the art style to the music is so boring and generic. Fighting games live and die on their asthetics, and Multiversus failed to do so. Instead, it just feels like a purely corporate product made to try and cash grab at the fighting game audience. It didn't work. $20 for single character skins for a FTP fighting game is insane when I can spend the same amount in Street Fighter 5 and get a pack of multiple detailed character costumes.

    for me it's the odd balance for the characters like how fast characters always do a lot of combo damage and how the heavy characters are damage sponges that can't do anything. the other problem for me was the low amount of in-game currency you can earn when playing and the huge reliance of gems. i mean most of the costumes need gems to earn.
    if they fix these problems mainly the currency then i think it will do ok.

    3)make new gamemodes or smthing like that, new stuff to do.

I think this is pretty much due to how, everything that was released in S1, was done, or near completion at that point, like the characters. And because of that, people were expecting content to come out often. But, because developing characters for the game takes a few months, according to Tony, that's why S2 only has Marvin as it's newly introduced character

Sure, I like playing as my girl Garnett and my main man Rick Sanchez, but it's the lack of new stuff to do in the game. There's only so many times you can get knocked off the stage by somebody playing as a gremlin and then tea-bagged before you need to buy a new TV. All they really need to do to gain all of their attention back is to start adding characters on a regular basis. I'm going to be fucking pissed if this game dies before they add Ben Tennyson and proper voice acting for Rick and Morty to the game!
