     Multiversus tier list September 2022: best characters ranked

Are you looking for a Multiversus tier list? The Warner Bros fighting game is now in its first season, with players gaining access to some brand new characters. Soon, we will know how the likes of Morty compare to the most powerful characters on the roster, from DC Superheroes such as Batman and Wonder Woman to Cartoon Network favourites like Finn the Human and Steven Universe. Of course, we can't discount those throwback characters from Warner Bros' back catalogue of shows acquired over the years, including Shaggy and Velma from Scooby Doo.

With such an illustrious gathering of fighters, a Multiversus tier list was inevitable. Judging by other competitive multiplayer games, ranking these fighters goes beyond looking at their individual abilities. Multiversus focuses on team-based combat, with each fighter broken down into roles such as Bruiser and Tank.

In order to create the definitive Multiversus tier list, we looked at how easy that character is to learn, how well each fighter interacts with their partner, and how good they are on their own. If your roster is looking a little thin, take a look at our guide to unlock characters in Multiversus, so you can be sure to spend your hard-won currency on the best fighters in the game.

     Half-Life mod challenges you to play Half-Life 2 backwards

A new Half-Life mod challenges you to try and beat Half-Life 2 with all the levels, assets, and characters turned back to front, as Valve's iconic, Steam FPS gets a strange new rework that makes it feel almost like a completely different game – a warped kind of Half-Life 3 that's arrived from a parallel dimension.

     Multiversus new characters speculation: upcoming fighters

Want to know all about the new Multiversus characters? With a pretty sizeable roster already, the popular fighting game is picking up plenty of steam now we're partway through Season 1. It also helps that Multiversus is a platform fighter similar to Super Smash Bros, and it's completely free-to-play across PC and consoles.

New Multiversus characters are coming to the game every season, and each of these fighters takes their rightful place somewhere on the Multiversus tier list. It's a tricky balancing job as, eventually, you can train them in as many Multiversus perks as you want, but new fighters can bring wildly different strategies.

Japanese publishers Square Enix are taking more steps to implement the controversial blockchain technology in their games. Squenix have teamed with blockchain company Oasys, who describe themselves as "environmentally-friendly". This is because of their less energy-intensive "proof-of-stake" mechanism compared to "proof-of-work" methods such as those used in Bitcoin mining. Oasys's plans fits with Squenix's intention to develop tokenised economies built on blockchain in their future games.

Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope

Saturday's Ubisoft Forward presentation brought with it new reveals of Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope, the sequel to 2017's Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle. A lengthy gameplay trailer provided the most substantial look yet at the game since its 2021 announcement. Additionally, Ubisoft also announced planned DLC content for the game featuring Rayman, whose games spawned the Rabbids originally. You can check out the full Ubisoft Forward show at this link, if you're so inclined.

Check out the gameplay preview for Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope below.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B506vC00vdk&

The familiar Mario + Rabbids turn-based tactical gameplay is on display in the developer-led gameplay walkthrough. The game emphasizes the new special abilities, weapons, and playable characters. The demo begins with Mario and the party exploring a new planet with the goal of helping it blossom again. The crew gathers collectibles, solves puzzles, and builds hidden paths to the objective: A Wiggler train to take to their destination. Onboard the train, a new threat appears in the form of an angry Wiggler affected by "Darkness Eyes" that spawn enemies. A party of Rabbid Rosalina, Mario, and Bowser takes on the tactical challenge. Players can also equip Sparks (a combination of Mario Galaxy's Lumas and Rabbids) to gain enhancements and upgrades. Bowser and Mario carry out various synergistic attacks that take advantage of their respective Spark loadouts and natural characteristics. Rabbid Rosalina also demonstrates her signature technique, which locks down enemies in a wide radius.

The Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope presentation also briefly teased DLC for the game, as well as a pre-order bonus.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Xk05kMYOx0

The DLC will feature Rayman, star of the Rayman series, Ubisoft's original platformer franchise, which also birthed the Rabbids themselves. Pre-orders of Sparks of Hope will also net a "Megabug Collection" of weapons.

Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope launches on Nintendo Switch on October 20, 2022.

Cygames Server outage

Multiple Cygames titles experienced server outages in the afternoon of September 12, 2022, leaving them temporarily inaccessible. The outage was sudden and unplanned, leaving players of high-profile games such as Granblue FantasyUma Musume: Pretty Derby, and Princess Connect Re:Dive unable to connect to servers. The company has since fixed the server issues, providing affected players with various in-game currencies in each game. [Thanks, granblue_en!]

The affected games include Granblue FantasyUma Musume: Pretty DerbyPrincess Connect Re:Dive, iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls Starlight Stage, and Rage of Bahamut. Notably, the server outage seemed to also affect players outside of Japan, with the exception of Princess Connect. On the other hand, other games like Shadowverse appeared entirely unaffected. While Granblue Fantasy was inaccessible for only an hour, some games such as Uma Musume and Rage of Bahamut took nearly two hours to resolve the issue.

https://twitter.com/granbluefantasy/status/1569181379249963009?s=20&t=hFvTB7urMeO81D1LOiniNw

While the reason behind the server outage remains unclear, it appears that the issue had something to do with the developer's data center. As a result of the outage, "Cygames" shot up to the #1 trending term in Japan, along with Granblue and Princess Connect. Cygames has since apologized for the outage, providing players with free currencies and items such as Valor Badges and Tokens in Granblue Fantasy, as well as Jewels in Uma Musume: Pretty Derby.

Many users noted that Cygames experienced a similar server outage that occurred around the same time last year. The July 2021 server outage affected the same exact games, rendering them unplayable for nearly five hours.
