• WB Appears To Be Teasing Its Smash Bros-like Multiversus Game

    It appears that Warner Bros. is teasing its upcoming Super Smash Bros. style fighting game, which leaked a few weeks ago.

    Reportedly called 'Warner Bros Multiversus', the game will apparently feature characters from across many Warner Bros. shows and movies. In a move that seems to hint at this, the official Twitter accounts for Looney Tunes and Tom & Jerry have posted images with their characters missing from the scene, as if transported away to another universe. Another universe where they will presumably beat each other up.

    Each tweet also tags the WB Games Twitter account, further establishing the link between the characters and a video game.

    Both Bugs Bunny and Tom and Jerry were listed in the original leak, and so these teases match up with what we knew previously. Other expected characters include Steven Universe, Finn and Jake, Batman, Wonder Woman, and even Gandalf from The Lord of the Rings, so keep your eye on their respective social media accounts for further possible teases.

    This apparent WB fighter comes quickly on the tail of Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl, which in a similar fashion brings together characters from numerous shows for a Super Smash Bros.-like brawl. With content for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate now ended with the release of Sora, there's a gap in the market for another fighter to hold people's attention. But between Warner Bros. and Nickelodeon cartoons, who will come out on top?

    Changes Already Coming to Halo Infinite’s Battle Pass

    Just days after launch, 343 is already addressing issues players have with Halo Infinite's Battle Pass. On Twitter, Halo Community Manager John Junyszek said changes are already coming later this week.

    For starters, 343 is adding "Play 1 Game" challenges which will reward player simply by playing games. They are also adjusting or removing some weekly challenges based on player feedback, designed to help speed up progress through the Battle Pass.

    The developers are also doubling the duration of double XP boosts from 30 minutes to an hour, after complaints that the boosts weren't very valuable, especially when playing Infinite's big team battle matches that can last upwards of 20 minutes. Junyszek adds that this is just the first set of changes, and the game will continue to evolve based on player feedback.

    Halo Infinite's Battle Pass rewards players with cosmetic items, a system popularized in games like Fortnite and Call of Duty. However, in Halo, the main issues players have is that XP is only rewarded by completing very specific daily and weekly challenges in the game, rather than accumulating simply by playing matches.

    Just hours after Halo Infinite's multiplayer went live, fans were already complaining about the progression system. Fans took to Reddit and Twitter to call the Battle Pass a "slog" and an "unenjoyable grind." Yesterday, Halo Community Director Brian Jarrard said the team was already evaluating Battle Pass progression, taking user data and player feedback into account.

    While these changes are already coming this week, Junyszek says it does mean the developers need to reset player's Challenges, including progress towards Weekly Challenges. So, they're granting all players that log in between November 23 and 30 this week's Ultimate Reward, the Sigil Mark VII Visor.

    Spartans will have plenty of time to make it through Halo Infinite's first season, as the Battle Pass will run until May 2, 2022, which is much longer than the three month period 343 originally announced.

    Besides qualms with the game's progression mechanics, Halo Infinite is already seeing a lot of success, with over a quarter of a million concurrent players during its opening 24 hours. If you want to get in on the action, check out how to access Halo Infinite's multiplayer beta.
