It\u2019s no secret that MultiVersus<\/a> has seen its official launch delayed, and with recent troubles at Warner Bros. Discovery, fans were concerned about the game being a part of that wider issue. But don\u2019t worry \u2013 the Season 1 delay<\/a> is nothing to do with the Warner Bros. Discovery merger.<\/p>\n

According to game director Tony Huynh, the MultiVersus delay has absolutely nothing to do with the ongoing disruption at Warner Bros. Discovery.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor those wondering, we are unaffected by the Discovery\/Warner Bros. merger. #MultiVersus,\u201d he said via Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

MultiVersus was released into beta little more than a week agoan online platform fighter from Warner Bros. featuring many of the company\u2019s hottest properties and most recognizable characters.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

But while the game is still in open beta, fans have been concerned about what the recent disruptions at Warner Bros. Discovery will mean for the game \u2013 especially since some characters (such as Shaggy and Velma) are based on properties that have seen high-profile cancellations.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m getting a bit nervous with recent events,\u201d said one fan via Twitter<\/a>. \u201cIf the game shuts down early, will we get refunds? I just bought 50 dollars worth of [in-game currency] gleamium last night with the intent to slowly spend it over time…\u201d<\/p>\n

During the company\u2019s Q2 earnings call yesterday, it was revealed that Warner Bros. kids and animation will be seeing a wide range of cuts across streaming and broadcast platforms\u2026 and that\u2019s what made MultiVersus fans particularly nervous.<\/p>\n

And while Huynh continues to play down the delay, some fans aren\u2019t quite convinced. \u201cIf it turns out that you are? Then what?\u201d said another player via Twitter<\/a>. \u201cIf some of the biggest directors can\u2019t guarantee their established tv shows, how can you guarantee no effects to what is provided? Will you honor refunds?\u201d<\/p>\n
