MultiVersus Beta First Impressions Combat, Characters, Monetization, & more!

Basketball player and real human being LeBron James also joined the roster as part of the open beta launch. While there's not an exact date attached to the game's launch, "MultiVersus" will be released at some point in 2022 on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC. It's worth noting that the game has not been announced for Nintendo Switch, so despite being a "Super Smash Bros." clone, "MultiVersus" won't be directly competing with the popular fighter on Nintendo's platform. Fans who are already chomping at the bit to dive into the new game can sign up for playtests on the official "MultiVersus" website. "MultiVersus" is going to be a free-to-play title, with cross-play and cross-progression across all the platforms it is releasing on.

MultiVersus features many ways to play, but the primary focus is onfast-paced, 2v2battles. The result is that characters and combos were created with this in mind, and doubles battles are truly amazing. That being said, MultiVersus handles 1v1 matches and free-for-alls quite well, and they feel equally as rounded out as 2v2.

His main special attacks allow him to also charge up powerful hits while also having the ground and air covered. The second thing we know about its release is that it will be available on PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X/S, and on PC. This is straight from the website’s mouth, and they also confirm that the game will have cross-play. This means that players with different consoles can still play with each other.

We know you expected Batman to be a top-tier character in MultiVersus, but The Dark Knight is really really strong right now.This is down to his high mobility gained from his Bat-Grapple, which can be spammed and repeated. Let’s start off by talking a little bit about the best of the best – right now, anyway. Alright, without further ado, here’s what our take on a MultiVersus tier list is looking like right now. Characters from DC Comics, Hanna-Barbera, and Cartoon Network are confirmed to be in the game. This includes Batman and Superman, Shaggy and Velma, and Garnet and Steven Universe.

Closed alpha footage reveals characters from the all-new free-to-play, platform fighter videogame in action. Many years later, we’re still seeing companies make fighting games using different properties and characters they own. In 2012, Sony released PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, a fighting game featuring a slew of PlayStation characters. And just last year, Nickelodeon released Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl. Gigantic fighting games filled with fun crossovers and surprising guest characters aren’t unheard of. The original Super Smash Bros. game was a Nintendo fan’s biggest dream because it saw the company’s biggest franchises clash together.

As a free-to-play title, monetization is to be expected in MultiVersus—in the form of Gold, the freemium currency, and Gleamium, the premium currency. While you can unlock all characters with Gold, the rate at which you earn Gold is incredibly slow, and you will need to grind. Nearly everything else is purchased using Gleamium, but characters can also be bought with this. MultiVersus will go into Open Beta in July on PlayStation and Xbox Consoles as well as PC, including cross-play support. It’s available to play right now in open beta format on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. However, with the arrival of the vulgar duo comes the official full release of the game with Season 1.

The release date for when Rick and Morty will start to come out in MultiVersus has been delayed but some skins have leaked with gameplay animations. Fans can also take solace in the fact that WB Games seems to be starting its full marketing campaign for the game in earnest, so there's a chance that the game will be released in the first part of 2022. The bigger question here is how much content in MultiVersus isn’t multiplayer. We already stated that the game is designed for 2v2, but also allows 1v1 and four-player free for all, but no specific modes outside of the standard have been shown. We do know there will at least be ranked playlists for those looking to take the game more seriously, but multiversus gameplay trailer for the moment, that’s all we know.
