MultiVersus is coming back online on May 28th, and I was able to get some hands-on time with the version that Player First Games has prepared for the relaunch. And while there are still areas that feel a little wonky, MultiVersus feels more fun than ever.

The MultiVersus we enjoyed from July 2022 to June 2023 was merely a beta that lost its luster when it went offline. It went from doing huge numbers on Steam to having a dwindling player base, so Player First Games made some big promises when it brought the platform fighter back to the lab — most of which I’m happy to say the team delivered on.
While the version of MultiVersus I played last week isn't the final product that everyone will get access to on May 28, I did have full access to every character in the game, including the new additions, along with the PvE mode: Rifts.
Once loaded, I was greeted with an updated tutorial that does a much better job of teaching you the basics of MultiVersus movement and attack than the beta’s basic walkthrough. From there, I tried my old favorites for a few games, shaking off my Superman and LeBron James rust and getting used to the visual changes.
