If Season 5 of MultiVersus doesn't meet expectations, it might mark the end of the game. According to AusilMV, a well-known insider for game leaks, Season 5 is a critical attempt to revive the game's fortunes. While this is currently just 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 player base plummeted by 99% shortly thereafter, leading Warner Bros. Games to close the project in June 2023, labeling it an "open beta test." Despite returning with updates in May 2024, the game struggled to recapture its initial popularity.
The fifth season of MultiVersus is set to begin in early February and represents what could be the final opportunity for the developers to re-engage the player community.
Essentially, this version of MultiVersus is a relaunch, though the developers have chosen to categorize the 2022 release as a "beta." Initially, the game was well-received, but the announcement in March 2023 that it would be temporarily shut down in June of that year left many players, particularly those who had purchased the premium edition to support the developers, feeling frustrated.
