MultiVersus to Conclude Operations After Season 5
Warner Bros. Games has announced the upcoming closure of its platform fighter, MultiVersus, following the completion of its fifth season. The game will officially shut down on May 30, 2025.
Season 5: A Final Curtain Call
In a statement released on January 31, 2025, via the official MultiVersus Twitter (X) account and website, Player First Games and Warner Bros. confirmed that Season 5, commencing February 4, 2025, will be the game's last. This final season will introduce two highly anticipated characters: Aquaman from DC and Lola Bunny from Looney Tunes, both unlockable through gameplay.
Following the conclusion of Season 5, MultiVersus will be removed from the PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, Steam, and Epic Games Store. No official reason for the game's closure has been provided.
Offline Play Option Remains
A silver lining for fans: MultiVersus will retain an offline mode. Players who download the latest version of the game between February 4th and May 30th will be able to enjoy local gameplay, either solo against AI or with up to three friends. The game will automatically create a local save file linked to the player's account, preserving all earned and purchased content.
Real-money transactions ceased on January 31, 2025. Any remaining Gleamium (in-game currency) can be used until the end of Season 5.
A Brief Retrospective
Launched in July 2022 as a free-to-play platform fighter, MultiVersus quickly gained popularity, drawing comparisons to Super Smash Bros. Following a relaunch in May 2024 with significant updates (including new characters, rollback netcode, and a PvE mode), the game unfortunately experienced a decline in player numbers and persistent technical issues.
At its closure, MultiVersus will boast a roster of 35 playable characters. Player First Games and Warner Bros. expressed gratitude for the community's support. MultiVersus remains available for download on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC until May 30, 2025.
