Warner Bros. has confirmed the shutdown of online services for its platform fighter game, MultiVersus, occurring on May 30. The upcoming season will introduce two new characters, Aquaman and Lola Bunny, with real money transactions disabled as of now. Following an initial surge of 20 million players, the game's popularity dwindled drastically due to concerns over microtransactions and slow content accessibility. While the game will no longer be available on Steam or other platforms, it will still be playable offline after Season 5. Alternatives in the genre include Brawlhalla and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
MultiVersus will shut down online services after May 30, with its impending season launching February 4, though offline play will remain accessible afterward.
Despite a strong start with 20 million players early on, MultiVersus lost player interest due to microtransaction issues and extensive content unlock requirements.
Despite the closure of MultiVersus, players can still enjoy viable alternatives in the platform fighting genre such as Brawlhalla, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
MultiVersus's promise was ultimately undermined by predatory microtransactions and the long grind needed to unlock content, leading to a rapid decline in player engagement.
