Player First Games introduced a new shield mechanic to MultiVersus on their YouTube channel. Shields allow players to defend themselves for some time, a new way to approach offense and defense in the game.
For players who are interested in trying out the mechanic, a Testing Grounds Queue will go live on October 24 after maintenance at 9 a.m. PT. This Testing Grounds event is the first of its kind, permitting players to try out new game features in a test server. Stay tuned for when the next Testing Grounds will be.
Check out the Shield showcase below, where one of the developers gives an overview of the new MultiVersus mechanic:
MultiVersus is a free-to-play platform fighter featuring an all-star cast of iconic characters. It invites players into an expansive universe where iconic characters from different realms collide. In this free-to-play game, players can engage in intense 2v2 battles, choosing from many characters like Batman, Shaggy, LeBron James, and Rick and Morty. Powerpuff Girls is the recent inclusion to the game after Beetlejuice. Additionally, DC Super Hero and new Queen of The Amazons, Nubia, released on October 15.
Moreover, each character has unique abilities that dynamically complement one another. There are also maps for each character, such as Batman’s Batcave and the Treefort of Jake and Finn. Furthermore, MultiVersus offers a variety of play modes, including 1v1 duels and a 4-Player Free For All.
MultiVersus is available now for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
