Warner Bros. is ending support for its platform fighter MultiVersus at the conclusion of season 5. While offline play will remain accessible, the game will no longer receive updates or new downloads after season 5 ends. Microtransactions have also been halted. The decision comes despite a revival earlier this year, as the game struggled to recapture its initial popularity.

Warner Bros . is pulling the plug on another failed multiplayer game. Its Smash Bros.-inspired platform fighter MultiVersus will shut down at the end of season 5, just a year after it’s bumpy return from live-service purgatory. The game will still be available to play offline, but there won’t be any refunds for players who already spent money.

MultiVersus originally launched in 2022 and was the new online hotness for a brief period, before people bounced off due to lack of new content and the novelty and gameplay balance wearing thin. Warner Bros. then took the unusual step of un-releasing the game, continuing development on it, and launching a new version early in 2024. Despite the comeback, however, it never managed to build up the same following it had the first time around.
