"We have worked with Player First Games over several years to create and launch ‘MultiVersus,’ and we are very pleased to welcome this talented team to Warner Bros. Games. The bright and creative team at Player First Games adds to our extensive development capabilities."

MultiVersus
Despite having "mostly positive" all-time reviews, the game MultiVersus has been experiencing some struggles, as its recent reviews are "mixed" after returning from a year-long overhaul this May. Its "bug" of requiring players to pay real money to replenish lives during campaign missions has been met with criticism.
