"The teamwork moments that have come up have been wild in our own testing." Player First Games was founded on the idea expressed right there in the name: "The dream has always been to create player-first games I've been in the industry," he explained. There's more weight behind Huynh's reference to "all these years" than most probably realize. "Players have been finding them in our tests and it's been really heartening to see a lot of the stuff that we've been talking about for all these years actually being realized, and being used effectively by players." "The teamwork moments that have come up have been in our own testing," Huynh said. That's great news in the studio's eyes - it’s just MultiVersus working as intended. The Arya-Bugs synergy is something players found on their own in the two super-limited tests so far, which amounts to around 20 days of live early access in total. It's also an example of how the still-tiny audience of MultiVersus fans has already surprised the team at Player First. Arya Stark spiking Bugs Bunny's safe is an example of "emergent gameplay," which describes the accidentally awesome outcomes that occur when open-ended game systems, such as the physics governing the safe's physical properties or Arya's knife-powered dash, mash together in unintended ways. It's not a combo the Player First team conceived, tested, and built into MultiVersus with purpose.

"Everybody understands that, it's very simple."Īrya strategically redirecting Bugs' safe while it's sailing through the air is like spiking a volleyball. "Bugs Bunny will knock the safe up in the air and will throw the dagger and teleport to the safe.and then re-direct it." That's Tony Huynh, game director and Player First co-founder, who spoke to Mashable ahead of a closed public alpha test for MultiVersus. Arya Stark, meanwhile, steps into the battlefield armed with a throwing knife that she can teleport herself over to, even if a teammate - or, say, a cartoon safe - is touching it. The wascally wabbit can toss a projectile-blocking safe on the ground, but it's also a physics-based object that can be moved - which means a punch can knock it into other players.
The " platform fighter" from the developers at Player First Games is built like a gaming sandbox where magical moments of play emerge from happy accidents and inventive players. franchises team up and scrap together in WB Interactive Entertainment's upcoming MultiVersus. multiverse?
