Player First Games

Player First Games' free-to-play fighting game, MultiVersus, is a game many gamers may already recognize. The ambitious competitor to Super Smash Bros released initially in July 2022, but developers were not happy with its reception. Many improvements were needed, leading to MultiVersus being pulled from online stores and taken offline temporarily. For how long? No one knew!

MultiVersus New Release Date

Fast forward to May 2024 and a revival release date is just on the horizon. May 28 2024 is the scheduled release date for the reinvigorated MultiVersus! The re-release comes with lots of improvements including a complete tech upgrade with brand-new visuals, a new PvE mode, and, of course, new fighters. But how are early reviews stacking up and was the effort all worth it?

New Game Modes in MultiVersus

Along with its new revival, MultiVersus comes with a new PvE mode for the less competitive players out there. Titled 'Rifts,' the new mode allows you to complete challenges with different themes. Themes will depend on specific fighters, as described by MultiVersus developer, Player First.

'The Joker infiltrating the Batcave or Batman and Velma teaming up to decide who’s the best detective.'
