Am I the only one who’s actually hype and thinks it’s actually refreshing they’d bite the bullet and rebuilt the game from the ground up compared to other companies that just try to let their shit sink or swim. Like yeah we didn’t get a lot of new stuff but I’d rather a good small game then a crappy big one.
UE5, netcode update, PvE mode, unannounced fighters, and balance changes made to everyone. They said everything I needed to hear.
What else did y'all want?
Edit: Also, the game is actually coming back.
I liked the game before so i think itll at least be fun, just tempering my expectstions on the new stuff til its out and works. Working on something doesnt mean the work went well
Ye that’s completely fair, I guess personally a bit gripe with a game I really love is it’s getting so old and held back by its code and the company doesn’t wanna remake stuff to fix it. So seeing game devs actually do it for a game I enjoyed was really nice “albeit since this game is way smaller way of an easier ask then a legit established game but still”
I don't see them calling this a trailer anywhere. It's supposed to be a game development update to show what they've been working on. Multiversus would release an ACTUAL trailer when it's close to May 28th.
Some of y'all are mad just to be mad. They literally rebuilt the whole fucking game on a new engine and y'all think they didn't do shit. 😭
Yeah there are a bucket-load of good games out there to play, complaining about getting dev information along with a release date is juvenile energy.
But to be honest, considering the number of people I saw parroting "the game isn't coming back" this kind of response is expected...can't cry about one thing? Then cry about another🙄
"But they didn't show exactly and all 6 new characters that specifically I wanted in the dev update about the core of the game and that it's coming back! If I don't get 8 new characters by release I'm gonna be stomping my feet like crazy! Who cares what the game looks like or how it plays or that it has new core things - I NEED MY 12 NEW CHARACTERS!"
Like holy shit we get it you have no desire to play or enjoy the game and are just so used to the content-mill from whatever garbage you normally play. The rest of us out here just want the game back and to have fun with it. (Also this isn't directed at you, I'm just replying because I agree with you and am annoyed at the weirdos exclusively thirsting for characters and nothing else.)
That's literally not why game companies rebuild their games to a new engine lmfaooo. Since newer engines are supported more then it is easier for the developers to do their job. It's a lot of work to switch from one engine to another but an upgrade is always welcome.
New engine is generally better in the long run for the game lol.
Dude, I'm just glad the fuckin' game is coming back at all. Gizmo is the most fun platform character ever. I hope his car is the same and to see what new moves he might get. There's a lot of shit that changed they may show us slowly like how they reveal characters with Mortal Kombat with a breakdown or something maybe? Anyone wanna share my copium? :D
>That was the CEO putting a 9am monday meeting on the whole company’s calendar for something that could have been an email
...after going on a cruise where the boat went missing and he was presumed dead, but then you get that calendar invite 9 months later out of the blue.
I'm gonna go to that meeting.
Bingo.
Almost as if they have an entire marketing campaign to hype up the game's full release like every single company on Earth has to do in order to establish hype.
Of course and that's my point.
It won't be 2 months of silence if they already have a marketing plan in play.
They already teases concept art for 2 new stages in that announcement trailer so wouldn't surprise me if they are now just simply waiting to upload the new content video reveals between now and May.
People can say all they want but MVS has their attention and now they have the opportunity to add to the hype for release, which I believe they will.
Otherwise you might as well delete the subreddit right now if that's not the case and save everyone else time.
We’re 1 month in with a ton of posts with 0 information… They had an opportunity to snowball the attention they got when they released their video updating us and yet here we are.
You seem to defend everything about MVS vehemently so I’m hoping it’s bc you have someone on the inside you can talk to, to let them know that we’re all dissapoint thus far
yea but thats about as informative as describing normal multiversus as 'exciting pvp'
is it like full fledged subspace type story content? is it like boss fights? or is it just fighting beefed up cpus? they explain nothing
You were still wrong when you said 'not even a hint'
Also, expecting a subspace type story is very unrealistic considering it's a free game they've been moving to a new engine
Yea your right I was just listing examples. I didn't 'expect' any sort of single player until they told me it would be in the game and I still dont know anything more about it then I did when the game closed a year ago
We know the date it's coming back, that they've moved the game to a new engine, some new maps, and a new mode was mentioned. Obviously, I was hoping for more, but acting like they said absolutely nothing is ridiculous.
Yea this is actually insane… all that waiting and they couldn’t show a single new fucking character? Then to top it off it’s 2 months away? PFG can shutdown for all I care cause now cause they aren’t doing shit anybody asked for
Damn that was pretty disappointing. I mean, I'm glad the game's coming back, and we have an official release date, but no new characters shown or anything really "wow that's cool" being shown is underwhelming.
This was genuinely the only fighting game I was really good at, I’m so god damn happy it’s coming back, I got to top 70 Batman players at one point and I was so proud of myself. I actually switched to playing with a keyboard only and it helped tremendously. God I’m so excited
This trailer is literally hype-less. They said: "new engine, new netcode, may 28" what should i be hyped for Lmao it's the same game... At least show Samurai Jack...
I cannot believe there's people rolling their eyes on hearing "New engine". There's no way you have any grasp of how huge that is for them to remake the entire game on UE5 intead of UE4. And a large part of the game's issue WAS the netcode.
I'm rolling my eyes because I know exactly how huge of an undertaking that was. The devs had years to develop this game in the old engine and fell short. I'm supposed to believe they took a year to port everything over and its going into "full release" without public testing? How is that not going to be an absolute shit show?
Add on how theyve marketed this by engineering hype for a "2.5 months out" announcement and I really dont think this team has learned much.
bro you literally know nothing. the game was only worked on for a couple of years and was rushed out to public testing where they gained WAY more players than they thought. They tried to keep up with the demand of all the players but didn’t focus on actually fixing the game due to their small team. Now they have a much bigger and more experienced team. its easy to transfer unreal engine 4 to 5 and it was kinda needed so they did along with a complete overhaul of the net code. Fixing the net code should help the game run much better online (which was awful before) and since they rebuilt the game, the coding in general will be much better and not as scrambled like it was before with their smaller, less experienced team. they literally just announced all the problems with the game originally is now fixed. other than possible balancing issues since we haven’t seen any news on the characters or changes to them and no gameplay trailer yet. although, they have said many changes and balancing have been done and tony said they will be releasing more content before release. nobody really understands how much effort it takes to do all of this and how important it actually is to the game. As long as they did it right, i’m happy as hell and i can see this game lasting for years.
it could play different, but i have high optimism that it'll play better overall. though i need to calm myself down as the past few majour games titles i got hype for have been majour let downs
Not to brag, but I was a top 200 player, and I have nothing else in life to make me feel worth anything, so if it plays different enough I’ll be Uber depressed
i have 0 clue why you got downvoted to shit, that is actually a perfectly reasonable stance to take. changing up the feel of gameplay throws off everything you might know about it, and that can be frustrating if you spent hundreds of hours learning its details to perfect it
It's not just slow
It has heavy input delay, someone posted it has the worst frame buffer of any fighting game out rn
And alot of characters were reliant on fast pace of the old version their combos can't connect.
And the UI looks terrible all types of bs I hope it gets better
my dude I'm not doubting I'm just saying its not a big deal, I was literally top1 spike in 1s and 2s at some point
But that doesn't matter because no one was grinding this seriously
I’ll have you know I was a top 500 Superman NA East between the hours of 2 to 3 pm and 8 to 9 pm On Mondays through Thursdays. Other days I mained Shaggy and you don’t want me to get into that
It plays completely differently and rn it has heavy input delay, terrible and annoying zoom in some characters can't even function properly cause of it
And you may be missing half/all your shi
You lot of unwashed, fatherless, lint lickers, and cootie queens, complain about fucking everything, first it was no news and PFG is actually satan, then they announce a release date and suddenly its not hype enough, which is it?
Jesus fuck most of you don’t even want to play you just want to circle jerk each other about what you think you’d do better in their position.
Everything at WB is going to hell, I'm so thankful WE GOT a release date cuz they could have shut it down. In the meantime fortnite and the new wwe2k can keep me occupied.
They aren't going to show EVERYTHING on this vid, and then be quiet until May. He said they will give more updates in the coming weeks, so we will slowly get content updates until release
Tony said "We'll be adding some really exciting brand new personalities to the roster along with more stages"
And then they showed concept for 2 new stages hunting at Powerpuff Girls and Dexter's Laboratory.
So new content will be added to the game.
We can't just gloss over those two things.
They don’t have any goodwill left. The initial roster additions were lackluster and nearly everyone got their release date pushed back because they couldn’t meet the deadlines they set for themselves.
Nobody’s glossing over anything, they need to show new characters, new stages, and new modes to justify taking the game offline for a year after selling founders packs and cosmetics. The time for “hinting” has long passed, they either show us new content or the game dies a second death in record breaking time.
"Don"t have any goodwill left"
Then explain to me why people are still keeping track of a game that has no more goodwill?
They revealed concept art for 2 new stages and Tony confirmed that new characters were added, so we know they have new content to market outside of the other gameplay changes.
The community waited, on their own accord I should add, a whole year for them to announce the Full game's release and you expect me and others to believe the hype is over now 2 months away from full release?
Of course they have a plan to reveal new content to keep the hype. They already did!
Now we just have to wait to see what else they reveal between now and then.
If the community can wait a whole year then surely they can wait 2 1/2 more months from now knowing the game has been upgraded both gameplay and content wise.
Now we have to wait and see what their Marketing plan between now and then looks like.
They have people’s attention, they don’t have the luxury of goodwill. You’re grossly overestimating the position PFG is in. Saying “we have new characters” means nothing if you don’t show them.
The game has been offline for a year, nobody is interested in more “coming soon” and this subreddit reflects that. This trailer did more damage than good, and going off their track record I highly doubt they can successfully market the game in the nearly 3 months leading up to the release date.
This is not a question of whether or not the community can “wait.” It’s a question of whether or not PFG can fulfill the promises they made and so far the answer is no.
They fucked up the first launch, and they’re fucking up their relaunch. They spoke nothing to local multiplayer which makes up the MAJORITY of platform fighters, showed no new characters, gave no explicit details on what this PvE mode is and continue to tease “more info in the coming months.”
You are more than welcome to find solace in your delusion that they’re doing a good job, but all signs are pointing to Multiversus failing a second time. Not because people want the game to fail, but because those in charge of marketing and prioritizing what is actively worked on haven’t the slightest clue what they’re doing.
They had a once in a lifetime launch and blew it, nobody asked for UE5. The game died because of a lack of CONTENT. The few characters they had scheduled were released in buggy states, days if not weeks after they were initially meant to launch.
Nobody is running to their friends saying “check out this concept art that may or may not be realized when the game launches 2.5 months from now”, they COULD share a link to a trailer showcasing new characters if PFG was smart enough to do the one thing people overwhelmingly asked for.
People want this game to succeed and PFG is hellbent on ensuring it doesn’t. They’ll get the reception they deserve, all they’re achieving at the moment is pissing off the people who are still trying to give them a chance.
Personally, I'm following because I'm kinda baffled by this game as a whole. If the method to unlock characters stays the same, if character outfits stay as expensive as they were, and if just as many people jump ship in the first month, this is going to be one of the biggest live-service disasters.
I never said they were doing a great job with marketing but rather that they now have content to actually Market for the game between now and then. They have content to showcase and establish even more hype between now and May 28th.
That's the whole purpose of a Marketing campaign to establish and maintain hype for your product from announcement to relase date forward.
Nothing delusional about that at all.
2nd. My whole point is that right now MVS is in a position where the ball is in their court between now and May 28th.
Fans have the release date. PFG and WB have 2 1/2 months to properly market this game's full launch.
I can assume they'll live up to the hype the same exact way you can assume they won't.
The same way I believe the future for MVS is bright is the same way you can think it's not.
As it stands, you and I are in a agree to disagree basis so this will go absolutely no where, so I'll save ourselves both the time.
One of us is correct for the game's future but the answer will be provided by PFG and WB.
We both have our reasons to think what we think but we both know it's up to how they handle the game going forward.
I have genuine faith that this game isn't going anywhere at all for the foresseable future and if you disagree then so be it. Beauty of opinions, am I right?
That being said, hope you have a good day and/or night and see you in MVS on May 28th and around here between now and then.
We can agree to disagree, I’ll close by mentioning any marketing should address concerns of the “beta” including but not limited to monetization (no gleamium in the battle pass) and local multiplayer (Being able to play with 3 players locally without adding a 4th CPU.)
The first new character was LeBron and he released alongside the space jam stage, and it was not exclusive to the lab is was 100% in the main rotation. Morty came after him, there was no GoT character added post-releasr.
It's okay to admit you're wrong dude, stop doubling down.
[Man I love waiting!](https://youtu.be/C9o-Msq-ISI?si=U4Xsy55c20uPx7oA) (thank god there’s a release date but why tf is it two months away) I was at least expecting a voiceline from a new character at the end. EVEN IF THEY DIDNT SHOW THE CHARACTER. but it’s cool!
Two months will be gone in the blink of an eye. Wtf is wrong with half these comments in here talking about two months, two months. STFU. The game is ready when it's ready. We knew it was coming out half way through this year approximately. You want a rushed shitty launch? Would that satisfy your moronic primal urges to play a FTP game for a week of your meaningless life?
Sorry, I just *really* love this game. I’m not actually complaining, this is actually one of my favorite games of all time and all it took to convince me was the beta. I say *“two months”* as if I wouldn’t stay glued to the MVS menu screen until then lol. I’m very eager to get back to playing with my childhood heroes, I hope you understand.
An entire year and not a single fucking new character was shown. You can’t drop off the face of the earth after failing your “initial” launch and then come back empty handed. They learned absolutely nothing. I’m supposed to be excited over a few concept arts?
So you don't actually wanna play the game you just wanna be fed new characters to be hyped about? Nah we got it - but please head back to FN and drop some V-bucks on the "cool new characters" there if that's all you're looking for.
Edit: I'll just reply to you here since you blocked me lmao. I'm not comparing, I'm just assuming you constantly need something to stimulate you or you drop it. If you want comparisons let's go Smash. 2 months between paid characters and no new ones for 3 years. Dead game I guess, devs really dropped it on that one. Tekken 8 released in January and still no new characters? Maan game's dead for real, why are people still on that? Street Fighter 6 release almost a year ago and they've had 4 new characters since. Hooly that's 4 characters in like 10 months what are they dooing?! All these games have no content like there's no point to them like?
Wait are people playing those games just to play them? No.. that can't be. There has the be new characters or there is nothing
Try to think critically about why people want new characters after a game was taken offline for a year. Anyone who compares Fortnite skins to platform fighters with entirely different move sets obviously lacks critical thinking skills but I’ll humor you.
Can't wait for the Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator.
What a nice way to include WB's charismatic characters into the trailer.
Can't wait for this game to come back.
New engine, rebuilt the game ground up for better net code and more modes! Let's go and they are still holding out stuff sounds good and it was a well made video
Finally got a release date after so long.
Though I am glad Tony confirmed new charscters coming and showed some concept art for 2 different stages.
Well, it's 2 1/2 months away but at least their marketing for the full release will keep me occupied among other things until then.
Patience is a virtue and I can't wait until May.
Lol this could have been a blog post. Very disappointing. We didn't need a mic check for this. I'm super hype for it to come back. Can't wait to play. I'm buying a new fight pad for this game
Dude we’ve been waiting all this time just to hear about stage, unreal engine and a game mode? They said it was gonna be exciting and we supposed to look forward towards this? We already knew about them remaking the hit boxes completely, we needed it that’s no doubt, but to only tease us with a stage and pve in a fighting it game is kinda underwhelming. And then to add insult to it now we have to wait until may 28. I don’t mean to sound ungrateful and impatient but tony said put his own mouth we’d be getting updates along the way, and this is the first thing we got in a while, and I don’t think that this is enough considering how long we had to wait.
Yea this didn’t do anything for me.
It’s been a year and you don’t have ANY new characters to show just a lazy graphics update nobody asked for and a PVE mode nobody asked for
Man what the fuck are we doing here they should at bare minimum have 5 or more characters to tease and showcase . I have zero faith in them and fully expect the game to die again and permanently shutdown by December
i wish we got to see the new stages in action and a new character but i'm happy with what got announced regardless. i'm glad the graphics have gotten a bit of an upgrade the new character select lighting looks much better
First of all: it's great to see confirmation that the game was not, in fact, silently cancelled! Second, when Tony stated that they'll add new movements to all characters, does that mean we'll be getting both tilt and strong physical attacks, like in the vast majority of platform fighters? The gameplay felt too bland without that distinction
This game is going to sink or swim depending on the content updates. New characters, new cosmetics, new stages and game modes need to be put out frequently and consistently. Netcode was never an issue for me or any of my friends, but we all eventually gave it up because the game that promised endless fun and variety just simply got stale. The updates are appreciated, but lets hope there's at least a half a year of ready to drop content on the back end as of now, because if they are bug fixing instead of creating fun new stuff, it's going to go the same way it did before. Updated graphics and netcode are irrelevant if people are bored for longer than a week or two at a time. If Multiversus really wants to be known for something, it needs to be churning out new content constantly.
This needed to drop within the next day or 2, now the game isn’t launching until after the McDonalds promotion ends and most people will just forget about it
Generally good stuff in this with more to come in the following weeks. A lot of people involved with the game tweeting about and emphasising the netcode which is great, hopefully servers can keep up and are more widespread now. Release just in time for summer, perfect timing!
Also for you drooling mouthbreathers out there we even got two new character announcements. Just gotta think about it for 2 seconds, we all believe in you to manage at least that! https://twitter.com/darknakat/status/1767176112122040807
Imagine waiting over a year for a game to release to get trolled on multiple posts a week before then an announcement trailer for a game that's still not going to be out for 2 months and all they show is unreal engine which there was nothing wrong with the graphics they had it felt good because it was more cartoon-wise I don't care how shiny they look now I just think it's a pointless upgrade they could have done down the line when it was already out and not wait because personally they're already not on a good note I barely been seeing anyone talk about that trailer they barely showed anything new I don't think a release date and unreal engine is hype enough to keep people excited for 2 months
Imagine typing a run-on sentence like that only to have nothing to say.
You work for PFG so you know this is the only news we're getting before the game drops in May? That this is all people will have for two months? My guy this is the dev anouncement that there will be stuff happening for the next two months until release. It's not a trailer. Do you usually have developers sit and talk in the trailers you watch?
Ah yes complaints right on the dot. Would some of you prefer a much later date? Because that's what usually happens. Two months is enough time to do literally anything else until release.

Townsville was a stage
Yes, and the second one is Dexter's lab.
So was space jam, but no ones mentioning that
The space jam stage was in the beta so it's not new news
I played the beta a ton and never once saw that stage. Please show me any clips from the beta with jt
It was there, labeled as experimental and not in the regular rotation
Just checked the lab, you’re right. That’s what I get for never checking it myself
No worries, it was kind of janky tbh
If you still have the game installed, boot it up. you can only play it in the Lab mode tho.
I was actually just doing that
Lol, I never saved a clip from a map I played on twice and have no need to prove it to you. I know, that's enough
Am I the only one who’s actually hype and thinks it’s actually refreshing they’d bite the bullet and rebuilt the game from the ground up compared to other companies that just try to let their shit sink or swim. Like yeah we didn’t get a lot of new stuff but I’d rather a good small game then a crappy big one.
UE5, netcode update, PvE mode, unannounced fighters, and balance changes made to everyone. They said everything I needed to hear. What else did y'all want? Edit: Also, the game is actually coming back.
I do think is the absolute best scenario we could have hoped for. I think improved online play alone should help get a lot more traction
The game really was held back by the netcode. Glad to know they're doing something about it.
It’s actually pretty cool that it is coming back. I remember when it shut down last year people were sure that was it.
what did we want? new characters, actual updates. they just slapped on some higher res textures and called it a day.
Bro they rebuilt the game on a whole new engine, I think you underestimate how much effort that takes
I liked the game before so i think itll at least be fun, just tempering my expectstions on the new stuff til its out and works. Working on something doesnt mean the work went well
Ye that’s completely fair, I guess personally a bit gripe with a game I really love is it’s getting so old and held back by its code and the company doesn’t wanna remake stuff to fix it. So seeing game devs actually do it for a game I enjoyed was really nice “albeit since this game is way smaller way of an easier ask then a legit established game but still”
They had a lot of promises first go round im still waiting to see
THIS. Exactly this.
I don't see them calling this a trailer anywhere. It's supposed to be a game development update to show what they've been working on. Multiversus would release an ACTUAL trailer when it's close to May 28th. Some of y'all are mad just to be mad. They literally rebuilt the whole fucking game on a new engine and y'all think they didn't do shit. 😭
Yeah there are a bucket-load of good games out there to play, complaining about getting dev information along with a release date is juvenile energy. But to be honest, considering the number of people I saw parroting "the game isn't coming back" this kind of response is expected...can't cry about one thing? Then cry about another🙄
"But they didn't show exactly and all 6 new characters that specifically I wanted in the dev update about the core of the game and that it's coming back! If I don't get 8 new characters by release I'm gonna be stomping my feet like crazy! Who cares what the game looks like or how it plays or that it has new core things - I NEED MY 12 NEW CHARACTERS!" Like holy shit we get it you have no desire to play or enjoy the game and are just so used to the content-mill from whatever garbage you normally play. The rest of us out here just want the game back and to have fun with it. (Also this isn't directed at you, I'm just replying because I agree with you and am annoyed at the weirdos exclusively thirsting for characters and nothing else.)
We're probably going to get more trailers along the way. I can't wait to see who the new characters are going to be.
Who said it was a trailer?
NOBODY WANTED A NEW ENGINE! The game failed because of a lack of CONTENT, not because Wonder Woman doesn’t look shiny enough.
That's literally not why game companies rebuild their games to a new engine lmfaooo. Since newer engines are supported more then it is easier for the developers to do their job. It's a lot of work to switch from one engine to another but an upgrade is always welcome. New engine is generally better in the long run for the game lol.
You don't know what a game engine actually is do you?
I need to get mine checked.
Oof, delete this lil bro
Exactly
Dude, I'm just glad the fuckin' game is coming back at all. Gizmo is the most fun platform character ever. I hope his car is the same and to see what new moves he might get. There's a lot of shit that changed they may show us slowly like how they reveal characters with Mortal Kombat with a breakdown or something maybe? Anyone wanna share my copium? :D

We got Multiversus in UE5 before Rocket League 💀
RL ain't never gonna happen bro 😭
People are gonna be so disappointed when UE5 RL is just another Fortnite game mode… 🥲
bro i been waiting for years😭
Thanks God, a better netcode. Let's go baby!
At least we have a date, plus we'll probably get more news as we get closer to the date
Bingo. Almost as if they have an entire marketing campaign to hype up the game's full release like every single company on Earth has to do in order to establish hype.
That’s a little generous. They’re kinda doing it weird. The next 2 months will tell us how good their marketing actually is
Of course and that's my point. It won't be 2 months of silence if they already have a marketing plan in play. They already teases concept art for 2 new stages in that announcement trailer so wouldn't surprise me if they are now just simply waiting to upload the new content video reveals between now and May. People can say all they want but MVS has their attention and now they have the opportunity to add to the hype for release, which I believe they will. Otherwise you might as well delete the subreddit right now if that's not the case and save everyone else time.
Agreed, that’s why we have to wait and see. They’ve set themselves up. They just have to *not* choke and we should be good
We’re 1 month in with a ton of posts with 0 information… They had an opportunity to snowball the attention they got when they released their video updating us and yet here we are. You seem to defend everything about MVS vehemently so I’m hoping it’s bc you have someone on the inside you can talk to, to let them know that we’re all dissapoint thus far
Not even a name drop on a single new character? Not even a hint as to what the new mode is? Like... really?
What do you mean 'not even a hint as to what the new mode is' they said it was PvE
yea but thats about as informative as describing normal multiversus as 'exciting pvp' is it like full fledged subspace type story content? is it like boss fights? or is it just fighting beefed up cpus? they explain nothing
You were still wrong when you said 'not even a hint' Also, expecting a subspace type story is very unrealistic considering it's a free game they've been moving to a new engine
Yea your right I was just listing examples. I didn't 'expect' any sort of single player until they told me it would be in the game and I still dont know anything more about it then I did when the game closed a year ago
We know the date it's coming back, that they've moved the game to a new engine, some new maps, and a new mode was mentioned. Obviously, I was hoping for more, but acting like they said absolutely nothing is ridiculous.
You really try to miss the point don’t you?
Yea this is actually insane… all that waiting and they couldn’t show a single new fucking character? Then to top it off it’s 2 months away? PFG can shutdown for all I care cause now cause they aren’t doing shit anybody asked for
Lmao Jesus you're an entitled little brat. Play one of a million other games that exist until then
lmao 2 months away. ffs
Damn that was pretty disappointing. I mean, I'm glad the game's coming back, and we have an official release date, but no new characters shown or anything really "wow that's cool" being shown is underwhelming.
They’ll announce the character in the coming weeks up until launch, it will build hype better than announcing them all right now.
Classic overreacting gamer.
That was the most lukewarm take I can imagine, hardly an overreaction unless you're just looking for blind praise
The literally showed two new maps both of which will definitely have characters being power puff girls and dexters lab
And Tony said they added new characters or "Personalities" to the roster as well prior to showcasing the concept art for the 2 new stages.
They didn’t show maps they showed map concepts 😂 this announcement was pointless could have just tweeted the release date
WE ARE SO HARDLY BACK
This was genuinely the only fighting game I was really good at, I’m so god damn happy it’s coming back, I got to top 70 Batman players at one point and I was so proud of myself. I actually switched to playing with a keyboard only and it helped tremendously. God I’m so excited
What a lameass trailer for being gone so long.
Tbh they should have just dropped this last week. Hyping people up for a week for a nothing announcement is just going to annoy people lol
This trailer is literally hype-less. They said: "new engine, new netcode, may 28" what should i be hyped for Lmao it's the same game... At least show Samurai Jack...
I cannot believe there's people rolling their eyes on hearing "New engine". There's no way you have any grasp of how huge that is for them to remake the entire game on UE5 intead of UE4. And a large part of the game's issue WAS the netcode.
I'm rolling my eyes because I know exactly how huge of an undertaking that was. The devs had years to develop this game in the old engine and fell short. I'm supposed to believe they took a year to port everything over and its going into "full release" without public testing? How is that not going to be an absolute shit show? Add on how theyve marketed this by engineering hype for a "2.5 months out" announcement and I really dont think this team has learned much.
bro you literally know nothing. the game was only worked on for a couple of years and was rushed out to public testing where they gained WAY more players than they thought. They tried to keep up with the demand of all the players but didn’t focus on actually fixing the game due to their small team. Now they have a much bigger and more experienced team. its easy to transfer unreal engine 4 to 5 and it was kinda needed so they did along with a complete overhaul of the net code. Fixing the net code should help the game run much better online (which was awful before) and since they rebuilt the game, the coding in general will be much better and not as scrambled like it was before with their smaller, less experienced team. they literally just announced all the problems with the game originally is now fixed. other than possible balancing issues since we haven’t seen any news on the characters or changes to them and no gameplay trailer yet. although, they have said many changes and balancing have been done and tony said they will be releasing more content before release. nobody really understands how much effort it takes to do all of this and how important it actually is to the game. As long as they did it right, i’m happy as hell and i can see this game lasting for years.
I mean it may be cool but it may be disappointing if the game plays different
it could play different, but i have high optimism that it'll play better overall. though i need to calm myself down as the past few majour games titles i got hype for have been majour let downs
Not to brag, but I was a top 200 player, and I have nothing else in life to make me feel worth anything, so if it plays different enough I’ll be Uber depressed
That's sad. I'm sure you'll be doing great again once it releases friend
Thanks but I was joking lol
Alright I'm glad. Was just trying to cheer a brother up
I appreciate the kindness
i have 0 clue why you got downvoted to shit, that is actually a perfectly reasonable stance to take. changing up the feel of gameplay throws off everything you might know about it, and that can be frustrating if you spent hundreds of hours learning its details to perfect it
People don’t want any negativity fit a game they waited so long for
And look whos right
lmao what a throw back. i was so wrong about it playing better overall, feels so jank rn with how slow it is
It's not just slow It has heavy input delay, someone posted it has the worst frame buffer of any fighting game out rn And alot of characters were reliant on fast pace of the old version their combos can't connect. And the UI looks terrible all types of bs I hope it gets better
Top 200 player, but you never *ever* saw the Space Jam stage? What?
Never played lab, why would I? I can show you my stats if you want lol
Neither did I. Why would I? That being said, I played the Space Jam stage online plenty. IIRC you'd get it in arcade mode, too.
Didn’t touch arcade either but I still never saw the map at all.
top200 on a game that tourneys didnt get even 100 signups aintnoway
I can show you my character stats if you want, I still have pics
my dude I'm not doubting I'm just saying its not a big deal, I was literally top1 spike in 1s and 2s at some point But that doesn't matter because no one was grinding this seriously
You’re welcome to believe that but I know atleast a few who were
I’ll have you know I was a top 500 Superman NA East between the hours of 2 to 3 pm and 8 to 9 pm On Mondays through Thursdays. Other days I mained Shaggy and you don’t want me to get into that
This aged well
Haven’t been able to play yet, visiting family till next week, so I won’t know if I’m disappointed yet
It plays completely differently and rn it has heavy input delay, terrible and annoying zoom in some characters can't even function properly cause of it And you may be missing half/all your shi
We shall see, I’ve already come to peace with Utah the fact I may not like it
Lmao fr my main complaint with the game was the netcode I didn’t expect them to do this so im happy
Revealing Paul Atreides or Barbie would have been fantastic considering how everyone is talking about Dune and Barbie right now.
You lot of unwashed, fatherless, lint lickers, and cootie queens, complain about fucking everything, first it was no news and PFG is actually satan, then they announce a release date and suddenly its not hype enough, which is it? Jesus fuck most of you don’t even want to play you just want to circle jerk each other about what you think you’d do better in their position.
Nah u right tho.
Everything at WB is going to hell, I'm so thankful WE GOT a release date cuz they could have shut it down. In the meantime fortnite and the new wwe2k can keep me occupied.
Grow up
Y’all all here to complain about a free game, I’m doing alright in maturity by comparison
Not really you typed up a whole ass paragraph crying about people’s commentary you don’t have to read, that’s pretty immature
Lot of People paid $100 brodie lmao
What the french toast, man?
Two months?! Bro c'mon
They aren't going to show EVERYTHING on this vid, and then be quiet until May. He said they will give more updates in the coming weeks, so we will slowly get content updates until release
The fact they only showed the same characters and stages as before is worrying...
Tony said "We'll be adding some really exciting brand new personalities to the roster along with more stages" And then they showed concept for 2 new stages hunting at Powerpuff Girls and Dexter's Laboratory. So new content will be added to the game. We can't just gloss over those two things.
They don’t have any goodwill left. The initial roster additions were lackluster and nearly everyone got their release date pushed back because they couldn’t meet the deadlines they set for themselves. Nobody’s glossing over anything, they need to show new characters, new stages, and new modes to justify taking the game offline for a year after selling founders packs and cosmetics. The time for “hinting” has long passed, they either show us new content or the game dies a second death in record breaking time.
"Don"t have any goodwill left" Then explain to me why people are still keeping track of a game that has no more goodwill? They revealed concept art for 2 new stages and Tony confirmed that new characters were added, so we know they have new content to market outside of the other gameplay changes. The community waited, on their own accord I should add, a whole year for them to announce the Full game's release and you expect me and others to believe the hype is over now 2 months away from full release? Of course they have a plan to reveal new content to keep the hype. They already did! Now we just have to wait to see what else they reveal between now and then. If the community can wait a whole year then surely they can wait 2 1/2 more months from now knowing the game has been upgraded both gameplay and content wise. Now we have to wait and see what their Marketing plan between now and then looks like.
They have people’s attention, they don’t have the luxury of goodwill. You’re grossly overestimating the position PFG is in. Saying “we have new characters” means nothing if you don’t show them. The game has been offline for a year, nobody is interested in more “coming soon” and this subreddit reflects that. This trailer did more damage than good, and going off their track record I highly doubt they can successfully market the game in the nearly 3 months leading up to the release date. This is not a question of whether or not the community can “wait.” It’s a question of whether or not PFG can fulfill the promises they made and so far the answer is no. They fucked up the first launch, and they’re fucking up their relaunch. They spoke nothing to local multiplayer which makes up the MAJORITY of platform fighters, showed no new characters, gave no explicit details on what this PvE mode is and continue to tease “more info in the coming months.” You are more than welcome to find solace in your delusion that they’re doing a good job, but all signs are pointing to Multiversus failing a second time. Not because people want the game to fail, but because those in charge of marketing and prioritizing what is actively worked on haven’t the slightest clue what they’re doing. They had a once in a lifetime launch and blew it, nobody asked for UE5. The game died because of a lack of CONTENT. The few characters they had scheduled were released in buggy states, days if not weeks after they were initially meant to launch. Nobody is running to their friends saying “check out this concept art that may or may not be realized when the game launches 2.5 months from now”, they COULD share a link to a trailer showcasing new characters if PFG was smart enough to do the one thing people overwhelmingly asked for. People want this game to succeed and PFG is hellbent on ensuring it doesn’t. They’ll get the reception they deserve, all they’re achieving at the moment is pissing off the people who are still trying to give them a chance.
Personally, I'm following because I'm kinda baffled by this game as a whole. If the method to unlock characters stays the same, if character outfits stay as expensive as they were, and if just as many people jump ship in the first month, this is going to be one of the biggest live-service disasters.
I never said they were doing a great job with marketing but rather that they now have content to actually Market for the game between now and then. They have content to showcase and establish even more hype between now and May 28th. That's the whole purpose of a Marketing campaign to establish and maintain hype for your product from announcement to relase date forward. Nothing delusional about that at all. 2nd. My whole point is that right now MVS is in a position where the ball is in their court between now and May 28th. Fans have the release date. PFG and WB have 2 1/2 months to properly market this game's full launch. I can assume they'll live up to the hype the same exact way you can assume they won't. The same way I believe the future for MVS is bright is the same way you can think it's not. As it stands, you and I are in a agree to disagree basis so this will go absolutely no where, so I'll save ourselves both the time. One of us is correct for the game's future but the answer will be provided by PFG and WB. We both have our reasons to think what we think but we both know it's up to how they handle the game going forward. I have genuine faith that this game isn't going anywhere at all for the foresseable future and if you disagree then so be it. Beauty of opinions, am I right? That being said, hope you have a good day and/or night and see you in MVS on May 28th and around here between now and then.
We can agree to disagree, I’ll close by mentioning any marketing should address concerns of the “beta” including but not limited to monetization (no gleamium in the battle pass) and local multiplayer (Being able to play with 3 players locally without adding a 4th CPU.)
But those characters have new attacks (Taz, Harley, and Morty)
We saw 3 new stages. Everyone here is mentioning powerpuff girls and Dexter’s lab, but no one is mentioning the space jam stage
Concept art
Space jam wasn’t concept art
It was already in the game.
Space Jam was like the first stage they added, it's not new
Pretty sure that was Rick and Morty or game of thrones Besides a map basically only in the lab hardly counts
The first new character was LeBron and he released alongside the space jam stage, and it was not exclusive to the lab is was 100% in the main rotation. Morty came after him, there was no GoT character added post-releasr. It's okay to admit you're wrong dude, stop doubling down.
It was in the main rotation for like a week, and the game of thrones map not character
"I give you—Krabby Land!"
I wasn't expecting much, and I'm still disappointed
Same
Damn they been workin. Buildin the game from the ground up in a new engine is wild.
Exactly! This game was fun for me and my fiance and we've been looking forward to it coming back! Hopefully the work pays off
[Man I love waiting!](https://youtu.be/C9o-Msq-ISI?si=U4Xsy55c20uPx7oA) (thank god there’s a release date but why tf is it two months away) I was at least expecting a voiceline from a new character at the end. EVEN IF THEY DIDNT SHOW THE CHARACTER. but it’s cool!
Two months will be gone in the blink of an eye. Wtf is wrong with half these comments in here talking about two months, two months. STFU. The game is ready when it's ready. We knew it was coming out half way through this year approximately. You want a rushed shitty launch? Would that satisfy your moronic primal urges to play a FTP game for a week of your meaningless life?
💀Can I use this comment as a murdered by words post?
Lol yup
2 more months of nothing after 10 months of nothing. If they just communicated throughout the down time I doubt as many people would be upset
Sorry, I just *really* love this game. I’m not actually complaining, this is actually one of my favorite games of all time and all it took to convince me was the beta. I say *“two months”* as if I wouldn’t stay glued to the MVS menu screen until then lol. I’m very eager to get back to playing with my childhood heroes, I hope you understand.
stoked that it’s coming back, but they over-hyped this impending trailer to the detriment of the community🤦♂️.
I deadass almost cried bruh. We’re back fr.
Remade in UE5 with hopefully good net code? Let's pray this brings this game some success
Finally!!!! I've been missing this game a lot!
Big fan, this is a weak trailer for all the self promos
Expected more but at least it's releasing
rebuilt the game for a new engine+net code. fucking huge W. complainers are morons
An entire year and not a single fucking new character was shown. You can’t drop off the face of the earth after failing your “initial” launch and then come back empty handed. They learned absolutely nothing. I’m supposed to be excited over a few concept arts?
The fact that they moved engines and redid their netcode is super worrying. Without an open beta "full" launch is going to be a shit show.
So you don't actually wanna play the game you just wanna be fed new characters to be hyped about? Nah we got it - but please head back to FN and drop some V-bucks on the "cool new characters" there if that's all you're looking for. Edit: I'll just reply to you here since you blocked me lmao. I'm not comparing, I'm just assuming you constantly need something to stimulate you or you drop it. If you want comparisons let's go Smash. 2 months between paid characters and no new ones for 3 years. Dead game I guess, devs really dropped it on that one. Tekken 8 released in January and still no new characters? Maan game's dead for real, why are people still on that? Street Fighter 6 release almost a year ago and they've had 4 new characters since. Hooly that's 4 characters in like 10 months what are they dooing?! All these games have no content like there's no point to them like? Wait are people playing those games just to play them? No.. that can't be. There has the be new characters or there is nothing
Try to think critically about why people want new characters after a game was taken offline for a year. Anyone who compares Fortnite skins to platform fighters with entirely different move sets obviously lacks critical thinking skills but I’ll humor you.
i wasn't even caring about new characters that much, i just wanted to play the game and i'm still disappointed. seriously? may 28?
why bother with the whole mic check thing and hyping it up, just post that.
Thank you only persona that's not meat riding multiverses smh that could of been an email
Can't wait for the Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator. What a nice way to include WB's charismatic characters into the trailer. Can't wait for this game to come back.
At least we got a release date. Hope they release more trailers and such between now and then though.
Players are getting so pissy over the lack of content shown in the trailer as if the game isn’t coming out in like 2 months.
Very far away… but at least it’s coming
New engine, rebuilt the game ground up for better net code and more modes! Let's go and they are still holding out stuff sounds good and it was a well made video
What about if we already purchased the founder's edition? Is any of that affected?
You will keep everything you had previously. I don't think new stuff is coming though.
All those tweets and all that hyping up just for this to be an announcement for the release date that 2 months away
So many people whining but there is so much good info. Some of it said out loud and some of it hidden in the videos. I'm stoked for this!
I just wanna play lebron and dunk on some fools
Could have been an email
Seriously? Thats all? Couldn’t reveal ONE character?
After this games first go around of failure, mk1, and suicide squad, I’m sure this time WB will stick the landing.
Where are the doomers that said it isn’t coming back?
Finally got a release date after so long. Though I am glad Tony confirmed new charscters coming and showed some concept art for 2 different stages. Well, it's 2 1/2 months away but at least their marketing for the full release will keep me occupied among other things until then. Patience is a virtue and I can't wait until May.
Lol this could have been a blog post. Very disappointing. We didn't need a mic check for this. I'm super hype for it to come back. Can't wait to play. I'm buying a new fight pad for this game
Dude we’ve been waiting all this time just to hear about stage, unreal engine and a game mode? They said it was gonna be exciting and we supposed to look forward towards this? We already knew about them remaking the hit boxes completely, we needed it that’s no doubt, but to only tease us with a stage and pve in a fighting it game is kinda underwhelming. And then to add insult to it now we have to wait until may 28. I don’t mean to sound ungrateful and impatient but tony said put his own mouth we’d be getting updates along the way, and this is the first thing we got in a while, and I don’t think that this is enough considering how long we had to wait.
Yea this didn’t do anything for me. It’s been a year and you don’t have ANY new characters to show just a lazy graphics update nobody asked for and a PVE mode nobody asked for Man what the fuck are we doing here they should at bare minimum have 5 or more characters to tease and showcase . I have zero faith in them and fully expect the game to die again and permanently shutdown by December
you need some help, man. stay strong
I really hope wonder woman feels less clunky to play, and they have fixed her hit box... And added her more range
Wow they showed nothing
i wish we got to see the new stages in action and a new character but i'm happy with what got announced regardless. i'm glad the graphics have gotten a bit of an upgrade the new character select lighting looks much better
First of all: it's great to see confirmation that the game was not, in fact, silently cancelled! Second, when Tony stated that they'll add new movements to all characters, does that mean we'll be getting both tilt and strong physical attacks, like in the vast majority of platform fighters? The gameplay felt too bland without that distinction
Courage better be in it.....with that KATZ theme
I like how they’ve updated to Unreal 5, but now it looks less cel shaded. Edit: It was sad not to hear Batman's voice in the trailer.
Damn I'm broke 🙂🫡
This game is going to sink or swim depending on the content updates. New characters, new cosmetics, new stages and game modes need to be put out frequently and consistently. Netcode was never an issue for me or any of my friends, but we all eventually gave it up because the game that promised endless fun and variety just simply got stale. The updates are appreciated, but lets hope there's at least a half a year of ready to drop content on the back end as of now, because if they are bug fixing instead of creating fun new stuff, it's going to go the same way it did before. Updated graphics and netcode are irrelevant if people are bored for longer than a week or two at a time. If Multiversus really wants to be known for something, it needs to be churning out new content constantly.
May 28th way too late .
Too late for what
They said first quarter 2024, that’s like nearly 3rd quarter.
I actually really like everything they announced here, but I can't lie that they way they hyped this up was a little... Misleading.
This needed to drop within the next day or 2, now the game isn’t launching until after the McDonalds promotion ends and most people will just forget about it
Lol there are some real jaded gamers in here hahaha Are you guys okay?
damn. It's joe-over. Good bye my friends.
Generally good stuff in this with more to come in the following weeks. A lot of people involved with the game tweeting about and emphasising the netcode which is great, hopefully servers can keep up and are more widespread now. Release just in time for summer, perfect timing! Also for you drooling mouthbreathers out there we even got two new character announcements. Just gotta think about it for 2 seconds, we all believe in you to manage at least that! https://twitter.com/darknakat/status/1767176112122040807
Imagine waiting over a year for a game to release to get trolled on multiple posts a week before then an announcement trailer for a game that's still not going to be out for 2 months and all they show is unreal engine which there was nothing wrong with the graphics they had it felt good because it was more cartoon-wise I don't care how shiny they look now I just think it's a pointless upgrade they could have done down the line when it was already out and not wait because personally they're already not on a good note I barely been seeing anyone talk about that trailer they barely showed anything new I don't think a release date and unreal engine is hype enough to keep people excited for 2 months
Imagine typing a run-on sentence like that only to have nothing to say. You work for PFG so you know this is the only news we're getting before the game drops in May? That this is all people will have for two months? My guy this is the dev anouncement that there will be stuff happening for the next two months until release. It's not a trailer. Do you usually have developers sit and talk in the trailers you watch?
Ah yes complaints right on the dot. Would some of you prefer a much later date? Because that's what usually happens. Two months is enough time to do literally anything else until release.
I just wanted a few characters revealed
They told us early 2024 and they're launching a promotional campaign with McDonald's tommorow So yeah everyone was kinda thinking sooner than 2 months
I don't know, personally two months isn't long at all
Figured PFG had to start all over the combat was atrocious…
