MultiVersus, the licensed Kitchen Sink fighting game, is set to make a comeback next week after being on hiatus for almost a year. The game developers made the controversial decision to remove the game from sale and shut down its servers following the beta period. This move left players who had invested real money in unlocking in-game items with no means of continuing their progress. However, the developers are now offering something in return, particularly for those who participated in the beta.
Player First Games has announced that beta players will have the opportunity to access the first season’s premium battle pass without any additional cost. This means that players will be able to unlock exclusive content, such as the highly-anticipated Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th, without having to spend any money. The decision to offer these rewards for free is seen as a way to compensate beta players for their loyalty and support during the testing phase.
In addition to granting free access to the premium battle pass, the developers have also promised to enhance the value of the in-game rewards. By increasing the number of “high-value” items available in both the free and premium passes, players can expect to receive a variety of rewards, including ringouts, alternate characters, taunts, and the in-game currency known as Gleamium. The introduction of a reward system similar to Fortnite allows players to earn enough Gleamium to cover the cost of future battle passes, eliminating the need for additional real-money investment.
Beta players will also receive special rewards for their dedication to MultiVersus. These rewards include a costume for Adventure Time’s Finn the Human, a unique ringout animation featuring rising stars, and the opportunity to unlock the Banana Guard as a playable character. Players who complete a seven-day tutorial track will be able to access the Banana Guard, along with a special variant known as Lady Banana Guard. Additionally, returning beta players will have the option to change their announcer to a Banana Guard voice pack, adding a fun and unexpected element to the game.
To claim these exclusive rewards, players must log in to the free-to-play game between May 28th and June 11th. Based on early impressions of MultiVersus, the game shows promise as a competitive fighting game on PC, drawing comparisons to popular titles like Smash Bros. The game’s appeal is further enhanced for fans of Warner Bros IP, as it features a wide range of beloved characters and themes from the entertainment giant’s portfolio.
The return of MultiVersus with generous rewards for beta players is a positive step towards rebuilding trust and goodwill within the gaming community. By offering valuable in-game content and exclusive rewards, the developers are demonstrating their commitment to player satisfaction and engagement. As MultiVersus prepares to make its comeback, players can look forward to an exciting and rewarding gaming experience that celebrates their loyalty and support.
