MultiVersus is gearing up for its highly anticipated relaunch in May with a unique twist – a real-life hockey match between the Colorado Avalanche and the Las Vegas Golden Knights will be transformed into a MultiVersus battle. This groundbreaking collaboration between TNT Sports, the NHL, and Warner Bros. Games will see iconic characters like Superman, Shaggy, and Finn the Human overlaid on top of the live action using cutting-edge tracking technologies. NHL players such as Nathan MacKinnon and Jack Eichel will even receive special avatars in the MultiVersus style, creating an immersive experience for viewers. The MultiVersus NHL Face-Off will be broadcast exclusively on truTV and the Max app, offering fans a one-of-a-kind entertainment fusion.
In a unique twist, TNT will air a team selection draft of the MultiVersus characters during its postgame coverage of the Buffalo Sabres and Detroit Red Wings on April 7. Additionally, the ice rink itself will undergo a remarkable transformation throughout the game, mirroring various stages in MultiVersus such as the Space Jam court, the Tree Fort from Adventure Time, and the Trophy’s E.D.G.E. arena. The magic behind the MultiVersus NHL Face-Off lies in the seamless integration of two advanced tracking technologies – NHL EDGE for puck and player tracking, and Hawk-Eye Innovation for generating character movements based on the NHL players’ actions. Beyond Sports will handle the real-time animation of the game’s characters, bringing them to life on the ice in a truly innovative way.
This groundbreaking event is not the only way MultiVersus is making waves in popular culture. Characters from the game have recently made their way into McDonald’s Happy Meals, introducing a new generation to the exciting world of MultiVersus. After being offline for nearly a year, MultiVersus is set to officially relaunch on May 28 with a host of new characters, modes, and stages. The game has undergone significant enhancements in visuals and performance, thanks to its transition to Unreal Engine 5. With its innovative approach to blending real-world sports with gaming elements, MultiVersus is poised to captivate audiences and redefine the boundaries of entertainment.
