Since MultiVersus fully launched in May, the game has gone through 3 "seasons," adding new characters and content around a seasonal battle pass. Season 4 is due to start on November 12, and it will add Raven, a fan-favorite character from Teen Titans, and Marceline, the vampire queen from Adventure Time to the roster of unlockable characters. The update also promises a new team-based competitive mode called Arena and two new maps.
When Warner Bros' and Player First's MultiVersus fully launched in May, the game was not without technical issues. Frame rate stutters and "desync" errors (disconnects) have occasionally marred an otherwise enjoyable Super Smash Bros.-style fighting experience. Thankfully, the version 1.2 update that arrived this week aims to address these issues, hopefully bringing an improved experience to all.
After a yearlong absence, Warner Bros. and Player First's Smash Bros.-style fighting game, MultiVersus, has returned. The game's full launch today follows an open beta period in 2022-2023 and a period of not being available. Now that it's back, MultiVersus has new characters (Joker, Jason Vorhees, and Banana Guard), new environments, and the exciting new cooperative Rifts mode. MultiVersus is free to play, so now is a great time to try it out.
You could be forgiven for having forgotten this, but Warner Bros. and Player First Games released a Super Smash Bros.-style fighting game called MultiVersus back in 2022. The game was in open beta status back then. Surprisingly, Warner Bros. shut down the beta entirely in June 2023, and things have been silent since then. That changes this year, thank goodness, because MultiVersus will be back and fully launched in May. It will even include a new PvE mode, which hopefully means more co-op support.
MultiVersus is a highly anticipated free-to-play Super Smash Bros.-style fighting game from Warner Bros. After a closed beta period followed by an early access period for premium bundle owners, the open beta has arrived. What should be a celebratory launch day has been somewhat mired, however, by what appears to be a broken party system. Update: Thankfully, the party and co-op issues were resolved by the next day.
There once was a movie called Space Jam: A New Legacy that combined numerous Warner Bros. characters and properties. It's a very bad movie that should be avoided at all costs! However, the idea of mixing WB properties together clearly has some appeal, hence the new Smash Bros.-style fighting game, MultiVersus. Players who buy any premium edition of MultiVersus can play it right now, but the game will officially launch in free to play form on July 26.
Who wants to build a fort?! Also, who wants to customize their character before building, then get owned by two dozen boss enemies attacking from all around at the same time?! That's the spirit! Versus is a freeform defense game that focuses on two things: lots of enemies, and co-op survival in a constricted world. Whew, intense.
Before this fall started there was a battle heating up on the gaming front. It was a battle of military shooters - Modern Warfare 3 vs Battlefield 3. Activision entered the contest as the reigning champion, their franchise selling millions of copies each year across all three platforms; Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. But EA wanted to challenge the dominance with their own storied franchise with BF3. We take a look at both games and ask - "Did their co-op promises deliver?"
In the battle of the biggest games involving a colon in the title, which also happen to be the biggest games of the season, Xbox UK boss Stephen McGill is pulling no punches:
When we announced that Bioshock 2 was set to feature Co-op, the Co-op gamer in me jumped for joy, but my inner horror gamer was very unsure. The recently released Resident Evil 5 sparked a similar doubt in me when trying to decide if I wanted to play alone, or hook up with a friend.
Remember when we told you that Killzone 2 was dropping any hope of having a co-op mode? Looks like that mistake has cost Guerilla Games dearly. How so? In the latest issue of mens magazine Maxim, they review both 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand and the upcoming PS3 exclusive Killzone 2.
Anytime any big name title gets a multi-platform release, someone...somewhere inevitably does a side by side comparison to see which version is "better." With the Resident Evil 5 Co-Op demo released last month in Japan on the Xbox 360 and a recent PS3 version of the demo becoming available with new system purchases; well that time has come.
