The free-to-play 2D platform fighter MultiVersus will get out of slumber soon after its 9-month hiatus since June 2023.

MultiVersus will launch for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series, and Xbox One on 28 May. No word on whether this is a worldwide release, or one strictly for USA and Europe. Last we checked, Asia couldn’t get into the first version of MultiVersus due to network region locking.

Here’s the official word on the game and its plethora of promised changes according to Player First Gmaes co-founder Tony Huynh:

“We’ve been working hard on a variety of changes and updates to deliver an improved gameplay experience. A core aspect of Multiversus is our wealth of iconic characters in the game, with fun-filled competitions set against the backdrop of reimagined universes and environments. So I’m happy to say we’ll be adding some really exciting brand-new personalities to the roster, along with more stages from worlds we have yet to explore.

We moved to Unreal Engine 5, which will improve the game’s visuals and character lighting. So in other words, Shaggy’s sandwiches have never looked better. We’ve rebuilt the game from the ground up to support our new netcode to provide consistent world class online play. So every hit, dodge and bat-a-rang will be delivered with pinpoint accuracy. There’ll be consistent game performance no matter what platform you’re playing on. There’ll be new attacks and combat mechanics for each character, putting more skill expression in your hands. We honestly can’t wait to see what you come up with. One of the things we’re most excited to announce is a brand new [player-versus-environment] mode that will offer a new way to play, outside of competitive [player-versus-player]. This new mode will introduce additional ways of playing with unique rewards.”
