    Is Multiversus related to NFTworld or Web3land, or were they just trying to cash in on trendy tech buzzword?

    Also... who does an "open beta" with a cash shop and paid battle pass? Sounds like a "we launched but you can't review us because we're calling it a beta and you're not smart enough to see what we're up to... hahaha" type of game.

    Anyway... another devious POS dead. Good riddance.

    It's literally just a clever portmanteau on the words "Multiverse" (multiple IP worlds collide) and "versus" (it's a fighting game). It has nothing to do with NFTs or tech buzzwords.

    As for the failure of the game, well, I'd consider it both embarassing and unfortunate. This game had a huge launch and everything in the world going for it. There was a big audience for Smash Bros but Warner Bros, and they just dropped the ball on content updates.
