MultiVersus Struggles: WB Game Faces Closure

The future of MultiVersus hangs in the balance, with Season 5 potentially being its last hurrah. This comes from AusilMV, a known games leaker, citing a trusted source who claims Season 5 is a final attempt to revive the struggling title. While currently just a rumor, the situation is undeniably precarious.

The game's initial launch in 2022 saw phenomenal success, peaking at 153,000 concurrent Steam players. However, a dramatic 99% player drop followed shortly after, leading Warner Bros. Games to shut down the project in June 2023, cleverly framing it as an "open beta test." A relaunch with updates in May 2024 failed to recapture its former glory.

Season 5, launching in early February, represents a make-or-break moment for the developers. This relaunched version, retrospectively labeled a "beta," initially captivated players in 2022. However, the developers' March 2023 announcement of a temporary June shutdown caused significant player backlash, especially among those who purchased the premium edition. The success or failure of Season 5 will ultimately determine the game's fate.
