The Warner Bros. fighter game MultiVersus, featuring Jason Voorhees, Scooby Doo, DC characters, and more, is ending online service
Last May, Warner Bros. and Player First Games’ launched the video game MultiVersus, a free-to-play platform fighter game that was made available as “a free download for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 consoles, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One consoles, and PC (Steam and Epic Games Store), with full cross-play and cross-progression support.” Unfortunately, it turns out that the game only had one year of life in it, as Warner Bros. Games has now announced that online service for MultiVersus will be coming to an end on May 30th.
Warner Bros. Games wrote, “We have an important update to share regarding MultiVersus. After careful consideration, our next Season will serve as the final seasonal content update for the game. MultiVersus Season 5 will begin on February 4, 2025, and run through May 30, 2025, adding two new playable characters to the roster – DC’s Aquaman and Looney Tunes’ Lola Bunny. All new Season 5 content, including Aquaman and Lola Bunny, will be earnable through gameplay. Both new characters will be accessible when Season 5 begins on February 4 at 9 a.m. PST – Aquaman via the Battle Pass as the first tier reward and Lola as the daily calendar login reward. All online features will continue to be available until Season 5 concludes on May 30 at 9 a.m. PDT. At that point, there will be an option to play MultiVersus offline via the local gameplay mode, either solo against A.I. opponents or with up to three friends. To do this, you’ll need to install/download the latest version of the game and log in during Season 5, any time between February 4 at 9 a.m. PST and May 30 at 9 a.m. PDT. After logging in, a local save file will be automatically created connected to your PlayStation Network, Microsoft Store, Steam, or Epic Games Store account, allowing you to enjoy the game offline with all earned and purchased content moving forward.” To read the rest of the announcement, click over to the official site.
