　　Now Playing: Multiversus Video Review

　　Multiversusie noted that they can't find the Eye of Sauron trophy, Barra-dur has been removed from the background of Trophy's Edge, and the Mordor and Hobbiton soundtracks have been removed from the files.

　　Yesterday (August 18) Embracer Group announced that it had acquired the rights to The Lord of the Rings, which could have something to do with any Lord of the Rings content potentially no longer appearing in the game. A leak from July suggested that it was the Tolkein Estate that was preventing Gandalf from appearing in.

　　Lord of the Rings or not, MultiVersus is doing incredibly well for itself, as it was July's best-selling game in the US, an impressive feat considering it's free-to-play. This is due to the Founder's packs, which proved to be quite popular amongst players.

　　DC Comic's Black Adam and Gremlins' own Stripe were also confirmed to be joining the roster some time during Season 1, though a release date hasn't been set for them just yet.
