There's a buzz in the gaming community that Season 5 of MultiVersus might be its last stand. AusilMV, an insider known for accurate game leaks, shared that according to a reliable source, this upcoming season is a make-or-break moment for the game. While it's still just a rumor, the news has many fans on edge.
When MultiVersus first launched in 2022, it soared to a peak of 153,000 players on Steam, showcasing its explosive debut. However, the player base plummeted by 99% shortly after, leading Warner Bros. Games to pull the plug in June 2023, labeling it an "open beta test." The game made a comeback in May 2024 with updates, but it struggled to recapture its initial fervor.
Scheduled to kick off in early February, Season 5 is seen as the developers' final opportunity to reignite player interest. This relaunch follows the game's initial 2022 release, which the developers later termed a "beta." Despite a warm reception at launch, the decision to temporarily shut down the game in June 2023, announced in March of the same year, left many players, especially those who invested in the premium edition, feeling let down.
