The open beta phase of MultiVersus has concluded, marking a new phase for the platform fighter. Warner Bros. Interactive introduced MultiVersus in 2022, featuring Warner Bros. characters engaging in thrilling platform-based fights, following in the footsteps of Super Smash Bros. While the game initially received positive feedback, the player base has gradually declined since its launch. As a result, it appears that the open beta served its purpose of providing players with a preview. The dwindling fan activity led to the announcement in March that the open beta would be closing on June 25th. Nonetheless, there is still a promising future ahead for MultiVersus, offering fans of the brawler genre something to anticipate.
MultiVersus is scheduled to make its highly anticipated comeback during the first half of 2024, leaving numerous players eagerly awaiting its return. This thrilling game showcases an extensive lineup of Warner Bros. characters, ranging from the iconic Batman to the beloved duo of Jake and Finn from Adventure Time. During the game's temporary hiatus, developers are diligently focusing on refining both the characters and combat mechanics, ensuring that players will indulge in an exceptional brawling experience upon MultiVersus' revival. Although the absence of an official launch date for the game's 2024 release may provoke frustration among some players, there are still various ways for fans to revel in the enjoyment of the game.
Players who have already installed the game can still enjoy local matches and use the training room, but all online content will no longer be accessible. Some have concerns about the beta closure affecting MultiVersus negatively, but there is still hope for the game. In fact, this closure might reignite excitement among players. Sometimes, absence can make the heart grow fonder, increasing the likelihood of a successful relaunch in 2024.
Only time will determine the impact of this beta closure on the game's future. The positive response from players who participated in the beta release indicates that the game has something to offer a specific audience. In the meantime, players have other options to explore while MultiVersus is on hiatus, which could inspire them and create a renewed sense of excitement for the game's upcoming relaunch. The future of MultiVersus is uncertain, but a potential strong comeback in 2024 could make it a new favorite brawler among gamers.
MultiVersus is in development for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
