MultiVersus is going to be shut down until early 2024, and I wanted to go over the news with you guys. It's a bummer, but ultimately should be positive for the game's long-term health.
Original Announcement Video: • MultiVersus - Open Bet...
National Park by Mewmore: • Mewmore // National Pa... - Ігри
It’s sad to see that the game’s gonna be gone for a while, but it’s for the best. I’m happy that the developers are taking their time to fix the issues with the game and this is definitely the best way to go about doing it. It’s not a goodbye forever and more of a see you later.
Exactly this.
It's a beta. Ppl clearly forgot
People are so used to beta being the norm that when a beta actually does a beta move, people are shocked and outraged
Tbh I think it’s due to a lot of games releasing unfinished products and claiming it’s a beta until they finish the game. MultiVersus actually treated their beta like a beta, and they’re going to receive a ton of flack for it now.
What kind of actual beta has microtransactions and 100$ packs?
@@NosyBoy I couldn't agree more, I'm not a fan of it but I won't get on my soapbox here. It certainly felt to me like they intended it to be more like what you describe, but they didn't get the success they expected so they pivoted. Hopefully they pull it off, the game has real potential.
@@moneykenny119 Im sorry but are you required to actually PAY for those things? Or did people just stupidly pay for crap they frankly didnt need since none of those things affect the actual gameplay?💀
And fortnite did that btw...and now its a multibillion dollar earner😭
@@no.1spidey-fan182 no you're not required to buy founder packs or cosmetic skins or battle passes, however if you wish to support this game developers is very common knowledge that you buy these things to show that you're interested in this game imo this is very scummy to take down online mode when you have people who've bought all these things.
The bad: The game will stay offline for 7 months
The really bad: The people who bought the initial packs and other things were screwed, unable to use their purchases for 7 months.
The good: The game so far was an Open Beta, the real launch is in 2024.
However: It is still scummy to start an Open Beta with so many purchases and it was probably closed because the game didn't do well at the Beta.
The really good: The game will stay available offline, in couch multiplayer, finally online-only service bubble is bursting, if servers close again, this time forever, we will have the game available offline, we just need online P2P servers now.
I can see that point of view for sure, but the purchases will still be there when the game fully launches. It's also possible that the purchases in the beta were to help get the game more budget/funding. Still this is a very rational take on the whole thing. Good stuff.
@@NosyBoy nah but that’s a scummy move even if the purchases are available they don’t think to consider the fact that by the time it comes back that person might not even be interested anymore they really hoed the shit out of us
Right an' the really bad about that is that i won't be back either. People don't like being duped. Also? The game sucked man! Hit boxes like eggs? o.o
@@vivaraulito you can use all the items for free offline
To tell you the truth I’m not surprised
Me neither tbh.
It's a good move.
When multiversus returns in 2024 i hope they can get scorpion into the game
yeah if he joins pmex remix
They’re right to make this decision. We’ve been playing the open beta, not the full game, so I’m not angry, sad, or disappointed about it. I’ll wait for them to complete the process of the game
ok i will not be upset
The best option for it. It better be a lot of characters and modes. This talking about including tons of characters across all their mediums.
Looney Tunes: Bugs, Daffy, Sylvester & Tweety, Coyote, Roadrunner, Elmer Fudd, Yosemite Sam, Foghorn Leghorn, Pepe Le Pew, also switch them out for their Tiny Toons Counterparts or have them be assists.
Hanna Barbera: Yogi & Boo Boo, Fred Flintstone, George Jetson, Scooby, Shaggy, Velma, Top Cat & Crew, Huckleberry Hound, Jabberjaw
DC: The Trinity, Green Lanterns & Flashes, Lex Luthor, Joker, Cheetah, Sinestro, Reverse-Flash, Hawkman, Hawkgirl, Shazam, Atom, Black Adam, Green Arrow, Black Canary, Zatanna, Katana, Huntress, Vixen, Black Lightning, Plastic Man, Blue Beetle, Booster Gold and Martian Manhunter
MGM Cartoons: Droopy, Screwball Squirrel, and Barney Bear
Ruby Spears: Fangface
R.I.P but needs to be Fixed.
Well at least by the time the full game launches,We will get a truck load of new characters,stages,modes and a third party,I am thankful😌✊🏻And hopefully it comes to the switch on launch day🤞🏻
If they announced the shutdown after Marvin the Martian was released and started the full game some time around right now, we wouldn’t have this situation to begin with.
Better now than never
i hope you come back when it comes back out. really enjoyed your stuff.
Rip But they Fr Need to fix it
Yeah, hope this gives them the time needed to improve the game.
they aren't coming back. if they didn't released the game too soon the hype would've still been there but now it's gone this is just a cover up watch they end up shutting the game completely down when the time comes to release it again
@@piplonf8591 thats prob gonna happen
I mean I would prefer the game staying up since i still think the game’s enjoyable, ofc there are some things that keep me from playing it often but i still love this game very much
So honestly maybe a break for PFG to actually fix the problems with the game might be good, even if it’s gonna be a while for us to play it, let’s enjoy the time we have with it until it leaves then returns
Agree 100%
I respect their decision. Sucks sure, but I'll get over it. They're basically pulling a No Man's Sky: dead game shortly after start, followed by silence from developers as they work on the game, to finally a game worth coming back to.
That end song reminded me of ole Quinn knight/ battlefront knight. Good times…..
I’m very happy to see Multiversus making the smart decision and I hope the game benefits from it
Is it going to finally exit its beta stage? Because I hated how they framed it like that
What bothers me the most is that there was 4 months of literally no content, just shut it down last year then. But then you realize they had to sell all the skins they made first and Tony had the balls to say "refunds will not be given". Just despicable.
I just wanted to see the new character reveals
why are scorpion and sub-zero not in multiversus yet
I wish they at least announced this at the end of Season One. That was the last big high of the community, and I think it would have left a better taste in everyone's mouths.
I am also glad the lab is still open so we could at least fight bots lol
I definitely get how scathing it feels that PFG had a functioning in-game store, and the rollout of content has been slow along with the lack of communication. I even thought the game would seamlessly transition into a full game without having to shut down. While I may be admittedly biased in favor of MultiVersus and platform fighters, the game which I love a lot definitely did have it's issues. Honestly, much of the community for this game has been toxic, uninformed, and rash especially since the audience for these kinds of games are different than the audience for traditional fighting games. As disappointing as it is, taking MultiVersus down temporarily is for the better. The game was pretty much in early access and the devs were accepting payment to fund the game as well as attempting to develop it while it was live. They definitely should've been better prepared and more communicative but they seemed to haved learned and are applying such. This is more and better than mamy other games amd companies. This is a great video.
I hope they'll at least add the ability to fight cpus offline, just to have a way for single players to still enjoy the game.
I do think it's good the game is shutting down for now, it's something I thought was going to happen after the pre season ended instead of immediately going into season 1 and 2.
I believe you are right that distance makes the heart grow fonder so hopefully this time will be used to slowly hype up the game again and refine it. As you said in a previous video about characters like Sloth and Wicked Witch, I do hope they get announced in the upcoming months before the release of the game even though you know people are gonna complain about them, best to reveal them now and save the highly characters for when the game is relaunched.
So even though it will be put on the back burner, I'm hoping the game will come back with a bang!
Finally
It was good just the problems i had was
1.No switch port(but were get that in full release)
2.I cant map both my sticks.
3.I had bought LeBron James,Iron Giant,1 or 2 others with gold and stop playing got bored w/the game and came back like 2 or 3 months later and S2 came out and i was like let me go back and well my characters that i bought were again locked and didnt get back any gold what so ever.
Switch port cant wait😊😊😊❤❤
i don't believe it will come back, and now that i know it was just a bill board for Discovery/Warner, i'm actually glad.
Is it still gonna be a free game
Rip but they need this to fix the game
True, I think this was necessary tbh.
@@NosyBoy I know there were les and les update and bug fixes that made me stop playing
A remake for the game wouldn’t be bad or at least some type of reworks
Wow I guess the game really was dead but I hope when it comes back it's good
Bad news: multiversus will be offline for 7 months
Good news: they will have better characters, maps, and game modes along with new marketing tactics and everybody’s progress and purchases will remain when the game comes out
Kinda crazy. Idk how to feel. Probably a good thing.
I mean I don’t play Multiversus at all, but I do know that the game was popular because it’s Super Smash Bros clone with WB characters slap on it. God if I ever wish to playing…
Every game that's a platform fighter is a Smash Bros. Clone? Mind you, I'm a huge fan of Smash Bros. but I don't get that logic respectfully, since Titanfall would have to be a COD clone, and Tekken would have to be Virtua Fighter clone then.
I felt a little sad, but I understand as to why they decided to “shut” it down…
"more characters are coming in season 2 besides Marvin" lmfao, they lied, went essentially radio silent for 3 months and then their first announcement is to shut it down
bruh it's not necessarily a lie ... they mis-planned , miscalculated the time , hell they even got finished characters and skins like pickle rick , joker and I bet daffy duck
but dropping them now is stupid ... save them for next year , we want a finished game so delaying it to 2024 is the right move
They’re doing the right thing
I played 10 yellow bar connections in a row, and it’s only 3 bars. That’s all I have to say.
Ps I have 1gb internet, LAN connected.
Better hope Project L doesn't release in any form next year.
no idea ppl still played this
LMAOOOO
Yeah no way its coming back. They lied constantly about season 2, 3. Thats a burried game and WB is trying to avoid a lawsuit for the people who spent money on this.
Is this normal? Do games shut down after open beta to prepare for full release. I mean no disrespect but Jesus Christ they are proving the haters right in so many ways. I bought the founders pack and I feel played
do you not know how open beta's work?
@@TnhGameRemixes like hyper scape and rumbleverse? Weren’t those open beta? Never seen successful games shut down for half a year to have an entire year with no new relevant content. Please explain when a successful game has went blank for an entire year
@@frewrldmusic
I can give you 2 actually
no man's sky and world war 3 , those two are different from MVS but they have little similarities
and I actually can't call world war 3 a failure ... it's just so unlucky and got affected by the war in ukraine
sure no man's sky didn't went offline .... but they went radio silent for a long time without anything new while they were working on it in the shadows ... went from a buggy ass game to an absolute hit
Honestly I haven't played it for 4 months so whatever I have more games than I need.
I'm a sucker for nostalgia so that's why I bought it, even if I knew clearly it was a Smash bros clone, a game type I never liked.
I'd rather Multiversus was a thing they could use for other kinds of games as well.
bro still calling platform fighters smash clones lmfao
@@MrTaminomimo
I mean name anything else Multiversus is comparable to?
Imagine getting pissed off by that..
@@kmalm4776
anything else comparable to ? a fucking platform fighter , not necessarily a clone
and I didn't actually get pissed off till now
a smash clone is a term used mostly by toxic nintendo suckers so it's up to you if you wanna look like one of them ... know your words
@@kmalm4776 The point is that because the game is apart of a genre, that doesn't mean it's a clone. Brawlhalla, Rivals of Aether, and PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale also play nothing like Smash Bros.
@@maxxyian2yt243
Well, then Jabberjaws isn't a Scooby doo clone.
Well I mean THIS is literally what a BETA is for😂. This goes to show that the developers actually CARE about the content they are putting out. Instead of leaving an unfinsihed game OPEN to scrape up any little bit of money
There's zero accountability from Player First Games. This video is just sad.
They are definitely canceling the game ahaha watch
If they do, it won’t be until after the attempted relaunch in 2024.
I agree Tony hasn’t fell through on a single promise since September 2022. This seems like stalling and delaying the inevitable
It's not coming back.
I hope dont return
Bro saw Steven Universe characters in the game and got pissed
Its officially dead. Im sorry but this is a complete joke and ppl defending this is just stupid. Thats like fortnite back in their beta saying welp sorry see ya later i guess. Who will return to this
I can't believe the amount of white knighting for a game literally shutting down after charging for microtransactions and season passes. Not to mention it was able to be nominated AND WON best fighting game. As a consumer there's literally no reason to believe your product will be yanked from you like that when everything lined up ti say the game was going to stay and they profited off the good word of mouth.
"BuT iTs a BEtA wHat DId yOU eXpeCt?"
I expect it to work like every other "beta" and either be a very limited time p3riod that they say in advance or be worked on alongside the final product while gamers test it. No other game or live service in recent memory thata worth a toss has shut down after a year just cause they were in beta to prepare foe the final release. And if you know any that have please let me know (just to avoid head ass comments Final Fantasy didn't get shut down the same way. Game was finished but it was bad so they rebuilt the game)
It's insane how many people are acting like this should be normalized. I liked multiversus as a concept and I don't think it's wrong to ask for microtransactions in a f2p game. But doing that and then shutting the servers down to "work on final build" suspiciously as they bleed players, while also having some of the stingiest and least rewarding microtransactions, it just doesn't feel like something worth defending
I'm sorry how many "betas" had a spot at evo, with a huge prize pool, multiple seasons of battle passes, and 7+ dlc characters?
If any of you say Fortnite I'm gonna have to shoot that down, and give you an actual realistic example to compare to instead of the most successful game financially in the last 20 years. Paragon. This game is getting the Paragon treatment.
The new year is gonna come, and mid March WB is gonna come out and say the game is cancelled. We all got fleeced bros.
Idgaf about the reminders that it's a beta. They've been monetizing the SHIT out of this game since day one, charged for founders packs, and never mentioned ANYTHING about the beta ending at any point.
Super naive of you guys to think this isn't their way of just cashing out and cutting costs
