Rumors swirl that Season 5 could be the final chapter for MultiVersus, according to insider AusilMV, known for their accurate game leaks. A source close to the development team reportedly indicated that Season 5 is a last-ditch attempt to revive the struggling game. While this remains unconfirmed, the situation is certainly precarious.
Launched in 2022 to explosive success, boasting a peak of 153,000 concurrent Steam players, MultiVersus experienced a dramatic 99% player drop-off. Consequently, Warner Bros. Games pulled the plug in June 2023, classifying the initial launch as an "open beta test." A relaunch with updates followed in May 2024, but the game has failed to recapture its initial popularity.
The fifth season, launching in early February, represents a make-or-break moment for the developers. This relaunched version follows the controversial decision to label the 2022 release a "beta," despite its initial enthusiastic reception. The subsequent temporary shutdown in June 2023 angered many players, particularly those who had purchased the premium edition.
