MultiVersus Has Been Shut Down Until 2024 (www.ign.com)

I had a lot of fun with this game but the developers have made the very weird decision of temporarily shutting down the game until next year.

The devs said they're going to rebuild parts of the game and add way more content and do a sort of "soft reboot". They announced this plan in March, but the game has officially shut down today.

As a Super-Smash player, I found Multiversus to be really bad. Especially in 1 vs 1 settings. Multiversus had some interesting 2 vs 2 mechanics, but that's a much harder niche to sell for.

The main thing that got me was how awful the hitboxes vs animations were. I didn't know where hitboxes / hurtboxes / anything was. Like SSB:Melee was known for some awful hitboxes (Capt. Falcon's "Nipple spike" as they call it), but I think most players understand that the occasional hitbox problem is inevitable.

But Jake the Dog, Wonder Woman, etc. etc. These characters had hitboxes and hurtboxes that you had to just hard-memorize, cause they did NOT line up to their animations at all.

If I don't know where my attacks are, and if I don't know where my target (aka: where the opponent's hurtbox) is located, then what the hell am I even playing? Are you expecting me to memorize all of that before enjoying the game?
