Warner Bros. has made a significant decision that has caught the attention of many dedicated gamers. The announcement that the MultiVersus beta will come to a close in 2023 has stirred various reactions. Initially, fans hoped this move would lead to a refined official launch, yet doubts began to surface about the game's ability to regain its previous success. As the days passed, the speculation turned out to be accurate, culminating in the recent formal declaration.
Player First Games has officially revealed that MultiVersus will be permanently discontinued and removed from digital stores on the 30th of May. Players who engage with the game before this date can still enjoy offline gameplay with friends or AI opponents, but newcomers will miss the opportunity to experience it.
This means that the additions of Aquaman and Lola Bunny mark the final characters to join the roster as season 5 kicks off on the 4th of February.
The ramifications of this decision extend beyond just the gameplay experience. It prompts inquiries regarding the future for the team at Player First Games, as such announcements often lead to workforce reductions. This follows closely on the heels of Warner Bros.' acquisition of the studio just six months ago.
