The rumors were circulating for a little while that MultiVersus may be on death’s door, as the game wasn’t performing how they wanted it to. Today, it’s been confirmed by the team working on MultiVersus that it will, in fact, be closing its doors on the fighting game for the “foreseeable future.” The announcement was posted on X, with the comments expressing their sadness and disappointment but also stating that they weren’t surprised. While they added new characters for people to experiment with, the game wasn’t well optimized, with the menus being incredibly laggy. Players felt that the team didn’t support the game enough and that it was at its prime during the Beta test. Between the Beta test and the official release, a lot changed, and it wasn’t for the better. While there were people regularly playing the title, the interaction with MultiVersus dropped considerably.
For those who want to get involved with the final season, Season 5 of MultiVersus will begin on February 4 at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET / 5 PM GMT and will end on May 30 at the same time. Despite the game ending for the foreseeable, Season 5 will still have a 70-tier Battle Pass, as well as Aquaman and Lola Bunny being added as new playable characters to the game. However, none of the MultiVersus content that is being added in Season 5 will be paid for with real money. It is now all earned by playing the game.
As of today, real money transactions are no longer available. However, if you still have unused Gleamium or character tokens, you can use them to purchase in-game content until the end of Season 5. Once the season ends, the game will no longer be available online, and it won’t be able to be downloaded on any storefront. However, the game will still be available to play after the online features are gone, as there will be solo vs AI options, or you can play with up to three other players in person.
If you want to play MultiVersus, you will need to make sure to create an account before Season 5 ends on May 30. Additionally, if you delete or uninstall the game before the end of Season 5, you will be able to reinstall after May 30.
At the moment, there are no announcements or updates given on what will happen to the development team, but with there now being no game to work on, it is likely there will be layoffs or a closure of the studio. Along with this, the Warner Bros. Games CEO left the company last week after the failure of both Suicide Squad and MultiVersus.
