- This is despite the fact that Warner Bros. just purchased Player First Games and the latest season of MultiVersus was just detailed yesterday.
168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Warner Bros. Discovery has༒ admitted during a recent investor's call that is "substantially" underperforming and has added another $100 million writedown to its game business.
Over the past few years, MultiVer🌃sus fans have absolutely been through the wringer. After the crossover platformer fighter was leaked long before an official announcement, its open betꩵa br⛦oke records and drew in massive crowds, which quickly died down as it went into 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Season 2 and content came to an absol𓂃ute ꦚhalt.
MultiꦍVersus Season 2 Is A Big Step ✅In The Right Direction
MultiVersus let me down with i🌠ts f꧅irst season, but Samurai Jack and Beetlejuice are here to save the day.
MultiVersus was then taken offline for a full y♐ear so that Player First Games could refocu🏅s, which led to it being relaunched this Summer. That should have been good news, but꧂ the response to MultiVersus'𝓰 comeback has been tepid to say the least, with a lot of fans seemingly leaving it behind after waitin🎶g so long for it to come back.
MultiVersus Is Underperforming, Admits Warner Bros. Discovery
Although things seemed steady enough with the game continuing to get content updates and new characters fairly consistently (with Raven and Marceline having just been announce♛d yesterday), it seems that Warner Bros. Discovery isn't all that happy about its performance and said as much during its most ✅recent financial call.
, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav and CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels admitted during the financial call that MultiVersus has underperformed and added another $100 million to its $200 million writedown during 2024, which mostly comes fro💧m Suicide Squ🅷ad: Kill the Justice League.
Zaslav said that Warner Bros. recognises that the gaming business is "substantially underperforming" in its potential right now, while Wiedenfels specifically called out MultiVersus as an underperforming release fr🌄om the co𝐆mpany. It's a bit of a surprise considering Warner Bros. purchased Player First Games earlier this year after MultiVersus initially relaunched.
We took another $100 million plus impairment due to the underperforming﷽ releases, primarily MultiVersus this quarter, bringing t🌜otal writedown year-to-date to over $300 million in our games business, a key factor in this year’s studio profit decline. - Gunnar Wiedenfels
As of the time of writing, it's not clear what this means for the future of MultiVersus, but it doesn't seem good. Season 4 is bringing in two massively requested characters in the form of Marceline and Raven, so let's hope that they can draw in more crowds and that Player First Games at least gܫets to give u𝓀s Daffy Duck and Walter White.
No Roadmap?🌜 I Think New World Has Already Reached The End Of The Road
By 💧finished, I mean completꦫe. No roadmap. No more updates. The game is done.
