The future of MultiVersus hangs in the balance. Season 5, launching in early February, may be its final season if it fails to attract players, according to industry insider AusilMV. AusilMV cites a reliable source claiming Season 5 is a last-ditch attempt to revive the game. 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, leading Warner Bros. Games to shut down the project in June 2023, controversially labeling it an "open beta test." A relaunch with updates occurred in May 2024, but the game hasn't regained its initial popularity.
This Season 5 represents a critical juncture. The developers' decision to frame the initial 2022 release as a "beta," despite its initial success, and the subsequent temporary shutdown in June 2023, left many players, especially those who purchased the premium edition, feeling disillusioned. The success of Season 5 will determine whether MultiVersus continues or concludes its run.
