According to Video Games Chronicle, the reason for MultiVersus’ sharp decline in daily players comes from players’ dissatisfaction with the game’s lack of new characters. The last addition to MultiVersus’ roster was Looney Tunes’ Marvin the Martian back in November.
MultiVersus Season 3, which was supposed to release today, was delayed by developer PlayerFirst Games to March 31. PlayerFirst Games addressed the news in a tweet saying the decision to hold off on the game’s third season was made to help players “reach the end of the current Battle Pass.” Going off the replies and sub-tweets to PlayerFirst Games’ announcement, the news didn’t go over so well.
