Warner Bros. Discovery has admitted that its gaming division, including MultiVersus, has significantly underperformed. Despite this, the company is still investing in the free-to-play fighting game, adding new characters and game modes. The company is also shifting its focus to four key franchises – Harry Potter, Mortal Kombat, Game of Thrones, and DC – to improve its gaming performance.
Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero promises a return to the epic, large-scale battles that defined the Budokai Tenkaichi series. This preview dives into the game’s mechanics, massive roster, and impressive visuals, showcasing the potential for a truly exhilarating Dragon Ball experience.
SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos, a unique crossover fighting game from the early 2000s, has been re-released for modern platforms. This bizarre but intriguing title offers a unique experience, blending characters from both SNK and Capcom franchises in a post-apocalyptic setting. While not a critically acclaimed title, SVC Chaos offers a glimpse into fighting game history and serves as a testament to the ongoing crossover trend in the genre.
Riot Games, the developer of League of Legends, has scrapped a Super Smash Bros. Melee-inspired fighting game featuring League characters called ‘Pool Party’. The game was reportedly in development for some time, with 80 employees working on it. However, the project was canceled after facing internal criticism and concerns about the competitive scene for Smash-like games.
After a long wait, MultiVersus is finally relaunching next week. This reworked version of the game includes a new fighter, horror icon Jason Voorhees, who has been reimagined to fit the game’s unique style. Jason is a bulky tank character whose central mechanic is building up “gray health” that he can use to absorb damage and prevent him from getting knocked back while charging up powerful attacks. This is a clever way to adapt a hulking slasher villain like Jason into a multiplayer-minded fighting game like MultiVersus.
