So they're going to relaunch this game? I guess that's nice so that they can deliver a more complete package.

But seriously, why couldn't this be a one-time purchase non-F2P-LS game? WB is pretty decent at licensing their properties for video games, and I think it'd be better if the "relaunch" was a full-on traditional non-live service game with some updates afterwards.

At this point I'll believe it when I see it. It's been like 8 months that numerous devs are saying stuff like "big stuff coming", "we're still cooking" etc. And still no news. I want to be hopeful that this game can be back in a good shape but for now it's hard to be optimistic when it's been this long.

If it's not coming back until next year, then I really don't think we need to be worried about not getting any major announcements just yet.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if we don't hear anything substantial until we're much closer to launch.

I hope we still have news this year. You can't just shadow drop the relaunch of a dead game and expect it to be a success. This is especially important because this is a live service game so the game rely on the community. If nobody cares there's no game. And right now it's hard to care unfortunately.

No offense, but they've only had "can't wait to show what we are cooking" posts for the entire year and after 10th one it gets tiring.

Show me something instead of telling me.

Well, the Screen Actor's Guild extended the range of their strike to cover the game industry itself, with a number of companies being effected. WB Games is one of them.

Kinda doubt it'll delay the game because they're probably sitting on voice clips already recorded, but regardless, this is more important than a game. Not like there's already a release date, and Early 2024 is kinda vague already.

Got bored so I decided to redo my top 10 most wanted characters list. One restriction I had was to ignore all leaks:

1. Ed, Edd, and Eddy (either separate (If only one Ed gets in I hope for Edd) or together)
2. Any character from The Wizard of Oz
3. Gilligan (Gilligan’s Island)
4. Ruby Rose (RWBY)
5. The Robotron 2084 Hero
6. Starfire (DC Comics, can be any version)
7. Neo (The Matrix)
8. Ace Ventura
9. Kayley (Quest for Camelot)
10. Scorpion (Mortal Kombat)

It appears as though the Playstation store has put the game page back up for wishlist purposes:

MultiVersus

Stars Collide. Pies Fly.
store.playstation.com

Edit: Right as I post it goes down…
Edit 2: Nope it’s back up for real this time.

What do we think is going to be in the game when it comes back? Yeah, there are going to be more characters, but I'm mostly talking about everything else. New modes, or stages, or other gameplay mechanics?

They did mention new characters, stages, and modes as coming in relaunch, along with improved netcode and reworked progression.

As for stages, something Warner lot related since WB music already has the song on their channels.

Yes, the game did technically shut down, however the devs have stated it will return in 2024, with the full game as what shut down was the Open Beta.

The game is also still playable, but only in Offline modes (with characters, cosmetics, and perks unlocked until the game returns). Some have used PC programs to get the game working in pseudo online (note, I have no idea how it works).

As this is technically the full game we could finally see a release of the game on the Nintendo Switch. That is, unless they drop the next Nintendo console next year.

With the release of the new season of Rick and Morty, I hope that they updated their voices on the game for the new actor so they can have original voice lines and interact with the cast.

Crazy how even now no one knows who these characters are.
Especially the second two those are super weird.
Click to expand...
The first two aren't Green Lantern and Poison Ivy? Like those two were leaked at some point, right?

Butterstring and Easterbunny though, tough one. I have a guess, though.

Googling "butterstring" brings up results of green beans, and it's a combination of two words with the word "Butter" in front.
Easterbunny... well Bugs is already there ("I'm a happy Easta' Bunny todaaaaaay!"), so even though this has the Looney Tunes twitter tagged, I'm not sure it's a Looney Tunes character like Lola, who would probably have something else as her codename, but like, what other rabbit characters are there? Or perhaps characters associated with rabbits somehow?

So my guess? Buttercup and Bubbles from Powerpuff Girls. Only thing that kneecaps that is neither of the other two codenames sound like they could apply to Blossom, and also prior leaks implied the three would be an all in one fighter but perhaps that's changed?

Okay but imagine if Easter Bunny is the code name for Big Chungus because he's a rabbit that's round like an Easter egg.

After the leak that said Pickle Rick is his own fighter, I wouldn't be surprised...

I think Big chungus makes a lot of sense. Maybe I'm thinking too far into this, but easter in 2024 is March 31st, one day before April's fools so maybe he'll be in the game in some kind of special Easter/Joke event.

Poison Ivy was in the datamines, but Green Lantern was not.

Forgot to respond to this but...yeah, it's likely fake. The fact that it's from that long ago and none of the dataminers have backed this up, the fact that this tweet seemingly doesn't even exist and has the handle cropped out, and the fact that none of these hint at characters we know are closer to completion (Raven, Joker, Beetlejuice, the Wicked Witch of the West, and...sigh Pickle Rick) all lead me to believe this is fake.

When they eventually relaunch... How many characters do you think will be added?

It's taking a long time.
