The core issues are multifaceted. Limited Time Events offer minimal new content beyond cosmetic skins. Persistent problems with cheaters, flawed matchmaking, and a lack of gameplay diversity are driving players away to competitors like the newly released Marvel Heroes and the ever-popular Fortnite.

Failure to deliver could result in further player exodus, leaving the developers with a major challenge to overcome. The coming months will be crucial in determining their response and the game's future.
