Iron Giant removed from MultiVersus: Here’s what we know

MultiVersus has released an official statement that Iron Giant is no longer available for purchase in the game store. Also, if you’ve unlocked the character, he will be removed from your active roster. This step has been taken to address various issues with the fighter. MultiVersus removed Iron Giant temporarily — for maintenance. Let’s check out the reasons for this, what the players have to compensate for this, and when Iron Giant will be back.

The announcement about removing Iron Giant has been made via the game’s official social account.

A set of problems with Iron Giant includes his size, high weight, and massive damaging moves. The fighter is huge and strong. It is extremely difficult to launch him, And his hits are super effective against most opponents, especially light-weight ones.

In theory, with these advantages, the developers should balance the character by slow movement and punishable attacks. In practice, that did not work at all, and players felt Iron Giant as strongly imbalanced. It was even frustrating to face this fighter in online matchmaking.

It’s the reason for removing Iron Giant from the game.

UPD

After rebalancing the character, the game developers have already return him back. Head to MultiVersus and play Iron Giant!

To give the players another fighter instead of Iron Giant, MultiVersus has got Garnet to free rotation (preview rotation).

She is a character from the Steven Universe animation series. Garnet is a strong and straightforward character with powerful jabs and a mighty kick in her arsenal. She also has some interesting tricks, like shooting her gauntlets, creating a protecting bubble, or placing an electric field on a platform.

Disabling Iron Giant sure is a radical move, but it’s better like this than facing broken opponents. For everything else important and interesting about MultiVersus, stick around on esports.gg!
