The future of MultiVersus hangs in the balance, with Season 5 potentially being its last hurrah. This comes from AusilMV, a known games leaker, citing an inside source. The source claims Season 5 is a final attempt to revive the game's flagging fortunes. While currently just a rumor, the situation is undeniably precarious.
The game's initial launch in 2022 saw meteoric success, peaking at 153,000 concurrent Steam players. However, a dramatic 99% player drop followed swiftly, leading Warner Bros. Games to shut down the project in June 2023, cleverly framing it as an "open beta test." A relaunch with updates in May 2024 failed to recapture its initial popularity.
Season 5, launching in early February, represents a make-or-break moment for the developers. This relaunched version, disguised as a "beta" from the initial 2022 release, initially captivated players. However, the March 2023 announcement of a temporary June shutdown left many, particularly premium edition purchasers, feeling disillusioned.
