Regarding fighting game titles, there is an inherent issue that they have to overcome when designing the game. Initially, many people will come to play the fighting game because it’s new, there are new characters to play, new stages to take on, a new story mode, or something else engaging. But after a while, you either get tired of the content or don’t have a reason to play outside online matches. Those can get very competitive and are known to drown people out. So developers need to keep people coming beyond the first few weeks. Multiversus is a fighting title that is facing that current problem.

Why is that? Despite the game being in beta, it’s free-to-play for anyone who has a system it can be on. That means many people spend a lot of time on the title. That’s great overall, but it also exposes a progression flaw, because whether you play the game completely free or get the Battle Pass to show off some extra content, there’s a limit on what you can do and earn. The Battle Pass comes with extra stuff to earn and missions to play. But, due to many having the Battle Pass, they’re already completed all the content.

That means the main draw is the fights, and that appeal will eventually wear out. However, there is hope on the horizon. One of the devs on Multiversus noted on Twitter that they’re looking into fixing this problem.
