Hi everyone, ​

We have an important update to share regarding MultiVersus. After careful consideration, our next Season will serve as the final seasonal content update for the game. MultiVersus Season 5 will begin on February 4, 2025, and run through May 30, 2025, adding two new playable characters to the roster—DC’s Aquaman and Looney Tunes’ Lola Bunny. All new Season 5 content, including Aquaman and Lola Bunny, will be earnable through gameplay. Both new characters will be accessible when Season 5 begins on February 4 at 9 a.m. PT / 12:00 p.m. ET—Aquaman via the Battle Pass as the first tier reward and Lola as the daily calendar login reward.​

All online features will continue to be available until Season 5 concludes on May 30 at 9 a.m. PT / 12:00 p.m. ET. At that point, there will be an option to play MultiVersus offline via the local gameplay mode, either solo against A.I. opponents or with up to three friends. To do this, 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. PT / 12:00 p.m. ET. 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.​

As of today, January 31, real money transactions will no longer be available for MultiVersus, which means you can no longer purchase Gleamium, but you can still use remaining Gleamium or character tokens to access in-game content until Season 5 ends on May 30 at 9 a.m. PT / 12:00 p.m. ET. Additionally, when Season 5 finishes, the game will no longer be available to download via the PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, Steam, or Epic Games Store.​

Most importantly, we want to thank every player and person who has ever played or supported MultiVersus. All of us on the Player First Games and Warner Bros. Games teams have poured our heart and soul into this game. We will be forever grateful for the incredible support of the MultiVersus community throughout this journey.​

I really dont know why Warner never released the game on Switch... bad business choice I guess?

The Switch would not have saved the game. Once whatever novelty it had wore off, it crashed to earth. It was never a “Smash killer.”

Yes, I agree with you, but in my opinion Warner made a mistake by not releasing the game on Switch. Well, Warner has made bad choices in everything recently...

My guess is that figured the switch already had smash and smash fans weren't going to switch to multiversity.

It sort of makes sense. Smash players would maybe be more likely to want to try it. But since this is a gaas model they need you to keep playing.

Is a smash player really going to play and keep doing transactions when they have a better game with 80 characters they probably like more?

So that would be the argument against a switch version. Not saying I agree but there's some logic to it.

They put more effort into this Q&A than the actual game

It's not every day a live service game gets shut off twice. This game had so much potential but the live service model and wonky combat doomed it. I still think there's potsntial for Smash style fighters but not if it's a half-assed effort.

A live service game I actually like, it had a lot of potential that was squandered.
