MultiVersushas made most of the roster’s fighters bigger for its upcoming relaunch, and fans are a little mixed about how much more of the screen they take up.
It feels a little wild to write thisafter a year of being offlineandso many months of rumours and speculation, but wefinally know that MultiVersus is coming back towards the end of May. Just a few days ago, we got a relaunch trailer that showed off some of the changes that have been made to the game,from graphical improvements to new attacks for every character.
One of the changes shown in the trailer that wasn’t directly addressed was thenew character sizes. As you can likely tell from the trailer, a lot of the fighters on the roster have been made physically bigger than they were in the beta version of the game, which is perhaps most noticeable with characters like Black Adam, Marvin, and Garnet.
Although some fans at first thought it was just a visual trick and that nothing had been changed since it wasn’t mentioned in the trailer,it was later confirmed by MultiVersus' community manager, Tyrell Coleman, on Twitter, who said that he hoped fans noticed the changes to character sizes and camera angles in the footage.
It’s not clear why the change has been made, but it’s presumably to cut back on complaints about fighters sometimes being hard to spot in all of the MultiVersus chaos. You’d think that the change would be positively received if that was the case, but it seems that it might be a bit too much for some players.
In the comments underneath Nakat’s post, a lot offans are saying that the changes are a bit too far, with one calling them “off-putting” and another pointing out that they’re “a bit too big”. Some players have said that they like the change and think it makes the characters stand out more, but itcertainly seems like most aren’t vibing with it right now.
“The characters look bigger on the map in the trailer. They look like they don’t fit proportionality to the environments. I thought the character scaling looked better before.”
Over on the MultiVersus subreddit,than before, with particular concerns addressed about Marvin and Black Adam. They aren’t the only ones who are too big, though, as Garnet, Shaggy, and even Rick have been said to be made too big.
