MultiVersus director Tony Huynh recently criticized the game's leaks. After almost a year's hiatus, MultiVersus will see a full release soon. Huynh commented on how leaks affect the MultiVersus development team and gave his opinion on how they impact the player experience.
Warner Bros. and Player First Games have been bringing more and more exciting news in the days leading up to the release of MultiVersus on May 28, such as the addition of new characters. The Joker will be present and voiced by Mark Hamill, while the iconic Agent Smith from The Matrix and the legendary Jason Voorhees will be in MultiVersus along with Banana Guard from Adventure Time. The devs also confirmed the anticipated Dexter's Laboratory map in MultiVersus. But while MultiVersus has been making several official announcements, leaks have become a problem.
MultiVersus Reveals Free Rewards for Returning Players
MultiVersus reveals free rewards for returning players, and new content that the community can expect when the game launches on May 28.
Director Tony Huynh criticized the MultiVersus leaks and spoke about the measures the development team has to deal with the issue. In a recent interview with VGC, Huynh defined the MultiVersus leaks as "a disservice to the players," denying the community the planned big reveal, a situation the director says is deflating for the development team. Just a few days before launch, the internet was flooded with leaks revealing various pieces of information, such as the MultiVersus Season 1 Battle Pass skins.
MultiVersus Director Criticizes Leaks and Promises Anti-Dataminer Measures
On what to do about the MultiVersus information leaks, Huynh says that "there will be constant protections against new and creative forms of datamine," although he didn't give details. The director of the 2D side-scrolling platform fighter was impressed by the ability of dataminers to "slip through things," so he doesn't promise that new MultiVersus leaks won't happen again. Nevertheless, he guarantees that MultiVersus devs are trying to "prevent these things from happening in the future." He says these measures are "above and beyond what industry standards and protections there are."
Live service games put information on the backend in preparation for updates, and the same happens with MultiVersus. With only a few days to go until launch, players can find a lot of information on the internet about what to expect from MultiVersus on May 28. Although games like MultiVersus have a constant challenge in dealing with leakers, the devs' commitment to protecting the game's information as much as possible shows their dedication to delivering the best possible experience in this anticipated return.
