MultiVersus to Cease Operation After Season 5's Finale

Player First Games announced the impending closure of MultiVersus, its Warner Bros. platform fighter. Season 5, launching February 4th, 2025, will be the game's last, concluding on May 30th, 2025, at 9 a.m. PST. The studio detailed the discontinuation of support in a blog post.

Online play will cease on May 30th, but offline access to all earned and purchased content will remain available via local and training modes. The MultiVersus team expressed gratitude for player support in a heartfelt message.

It's been an incredible ride, MVPs. Thank you for all the support. For more details, please visit our blog post https://t.co/tLVzpA9JaQ and FAQ https://t.co/XKuxAnd26j. pic.twitter.com/VLzBDbP0GQ

Real-money transactions are now unavailable, but Gleamium and character tokens can still be used until the May 30th shutdown. The game will also be delisted from the PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, Steam, and Epic Games Store.

MultiVersus' closure follows reports of its underperformance for Warner Bros. Discovery, resulting in a significant $100 million writedown, contributing to a larger $300 million loss in the games sector. This financial setback occurred alongside the underperformance of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and coincided with the departure of Warner Bros. Games head David Haddad. CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels highlighted MultiVersus' poor performance as a key factor in the company's financial difficulties during a November call.

Despite the game's imminent closure, Season 5 will include new content, notably the addition of playable characters Lola Bunny (unlockable via daily calendar) and Aquaman (available through the battle pass). Both characters debut next week.
