The director of MultiVersus says dataminers do “a disservice to the players” by revealing characters and stages before they’re officially announced.
During the game’s original run, most of its upcoming characters were revealed by dataminers, who trawled the game’s code for placeholder data and newly added assets.
For example, voice lines for the Joker, recorded by Mark Hamill, were found in the game’s data back in September 2022 – the character was only just officially announced earlier this month, for the game’s return on May 28.
