MultiVersus servers to go offline after Season 5
MultiVersus to be delisted after Season 5
- Warner Bros. Games and Player First Games have announced that Season 5 will be the last seasonal content update for the game
- Season 5 will run from February 4 until May 30
- Online features will be available until the end of Season 5, after which point the game will also be delisted
“After careful consideration, our next Season will serve as the final seasonal content update for the game,” the MultiVersus team says. Season 5 will add DC’s Aquaman and Looney Tunes’ Lola Bunny as new playable characters, with Aquaman available “via the Battle Pass as the first tier reward and Lola as the daily calendar login reward.”
Online features will be available until Season 5 ends in May, after which you can play offline “via the local gameplay mode, either solo against A.I. opponents or with up to three friends.”
The devs say “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. PST. 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.”
The game will also be delisted after Season 5 ends. It’s unclear how many of the MultiVersus achievements, which all require a connection to live services, will be affected. As it stands, you currently need around 25-30 hours to complete MultiVersus, so it may be worth having a look at other players who want to boost this game or else creating your own gaming session on TrueAchievements.
“We want to thank every player and person who has ever played or supported MultiVersus,” the team says, adding, “We will be forever grateful for the incredible support of the MultiVersus community throughout this journey.”
The devs say that “This decision was not made lightly. All of us on the Player First Games and Warner Bros. Games teams have put our heart and soul into MultiVersus, creating a unique social and cooperative experience from the ground up that brings together a variety of popular characters and worlds. We are very proud of the game we’ve built and are incredibly thankful for the support of the MultiVersus community throughout this journey. Your passion and enthusiasm have been unmatched.”
It’s been a bumpy road for MultiVersus, which disappeared for a year before re-launching out of Early Access last May. What do you make of this news? Let us know in the comments, and if you’re looking for more free-to-play action, there’s a fair amount of crossover on our list of the best Xbox games!
