MultiVersus, a fighting game featuring Warner Bros. characters, was beautifully unveiled in 2022. With a massive player base of up to 20 million, it quickly lost popularity and had to temporarily shut down in 2023 for system improvements. Upon its return in 2024, the hype had faded away.
Most recently, Warner Bros. announced the final update of the game, Season 5, introducing two new characters: Aquaman and Lola Bunny from Looney Tunes. Players can enjoy online gameplay until May 30, 2025, after which the game will transition to offline mode, allowing fights against friends on the same console or AI opponents only.
One interesting point to note is that during the relaunch in 2022, MultiVersus offered a Founder’s Pack with premium content priced at $100. Customers who invested in this expensive content were understandably unhappy about the game’s closure, feeling shortchanged due to not receiving the expected amount of premium content (similar to the situation with Redfall, where Bethesda ultimately agreed to refund players).
