Insider: MultiVersus is on the verge of shutting down: Warner Bros. fighting game lost 99% of its players

If Season 5 of MultiVersus doesn't meet expectations, it could mark the end of the game. AusilMV, a well-known insider for game leaks, has shared that a reliable source indicated Season 5 is a critical effort to revive the game's fortunes. While this remains a rumor, the situation appears concerning.

Upon its launch in 2022, MultiVersus enjoyed tremendous success, reaching a peak of 153,000 concurrent players on Steam. However, the game's online presence plummeted by 99% shortly after, leading Warner Bros. Games to close the project in June 2023, labeling it an "open beta test." Despite a return in May 2024 with updates, the game has struggled to recapture its initial popularity.

The fifth season of MultiVersus is set to begin in early February, presenting what might be the developers' final opportunity to rekindle player interest. This season represents a relaunch of sorts, though the developers have chosen to categorize the original 2022 release as a "beta." The initial reception was overwhelmingly positive, but the decision to temporarily shut down the game in June 2023, announced in March of that year, left many players, particularly those who had purchased the premium edition to support the developers, feeling disappointed.
