Despite a strong arrival on our gaming platforms, Multiversus is suffering from a heavy loss of players.
When it launched, MultiVersus was the free game of the moment with gameplay reminiscent of Super Smash Bros. who keeps you on your toes. The developers were generous when the game was released, as many characters and other maps were already available at the time of release. steamed, the launch of the game was more than honorable with no less than 143,000 players. The MultiVersus had even become a phenomenon on Twitch with no less than 183,000 people watch content.
In a statement, Warner Bros. was even excited about the release of MultiVersus. It had 20 million players a month after its release. They had much to be proud of. But now MultiVersus has been affected by New World Syndrome, player curve has not been upward. On the contrary, it dropped over the months until only a very small player base remained.
MultiVersus: zero heroes
While there’s not much to get your hands on with multiplayer, MultiVersus has emerged as the solution to all of those annoyances. Thus, throughout the summer, players found themselves fighting with characters from the Warner Bros. universe.
The gameplay of Multiversus is much more accessible than that of Super Smash Bros., so a large audience was able to enjoy this game. Except that at the end of the summer, players began to leave the game. On Steam, we can notice a significant drop in players. Currently, MultiVersus has lost almost 95% of its player base, if not, more. In the first few months, there were an average of 100,000 players on Steam, now only 1000 players leftor even less depending on the day.
But what explains this total loss of players? In fact, it is very simple : a huge lack of content. Since November 15, players no longer have enough content to stay in the game. While season 3 had just been released, the developers preferred to push it back to March 31 to “give players more time to complete the Battle Season 2 Pass”. except season 2 is not a big hit, with only one new character, against three from the first season. Thus, it would undoubtedly have been necessary to extinguish the fire as soon as possible by offering an innovative season 3 and above all rich in content.
Although the game is free, the latter will soon be forgotten if the developers don’t do what it takes to recreate madness in their game.
