MultiVersus has temporarily removed LeBron James from the game

Just as Bastion and Torbjorn returned to Overwatch 2, we saw that Mei was temporarily removed from the game. It turns out that this isn’t all for the deactivation of characters this morning, as MultiVersus also removed LeBron James from the fighting game.

Announced last night (October 31) via the MultiVersus Twitter, the NBA Champion and MultiVersus character have been disabled as a result of a “critical bug.” The tweet also said that the character would be enabled again once the bug has been fixed. It is not known how long this could last.

Why exactly was LeBron James removed from MultiVersus? Well, according to gamers on Twitter who have been mostly sharing memes about the character’s removal, it’s because LeBron James’ special attack, his dunk, is supposed to get the ball knocked out of his hands. This wasn’t happening, and those playing as LeBron could hit opponents anywhere on the map.

In a nutshell, per one Twitter user, the “dunk didn’t get rid of the ball.” If you’re a MultiVersus player, I guess that’s all you need to know.

As a result, LeBron James won’t be appearing in your games any time soon, and there’s no indication of when the character might return. That said, MultiVersus just introduced Black Adam to the game, so we have at least one new character to play as while we eagerly await LeBron James’ return to the field.
