The once immensely popular free-to-play fighting game MultiVersus announced its shutdown – concluding its live service updates on May 30, 2025. However, before the servers go dark, the developers at Player First Games are releasing one last season of content.
MultiVersus Season 5 will introduce DC’s Aquaman and WB’s Lola Bunny to the roster. As of January 31, there are no gameplay trailers or reveals for the upcoming characters. They are slated to launch on February 4, which marks the beginning of the final season of MultiVersus.
“All online features will continue to be available until Season 5 concludes on May 30 at 9 a.m. PST. At that point, there will be an option to play MultiVersusoffline via the local gameplay mode, either solo against A.I. opponents or with up to three friends,” the MultiVersus team shared on their official news blog.
Starting January 31, real money transactions will no longer be available for MultiVersus, but players would still be able to use their remaining Gleamium (in-game currency) or character tokens to access in-game content until Season 5 ends on May 30.
After MultiVersus Season 5 concludes, the game will no longer be available for download via the Playstation store, Microsoft Store, or Epic Games Store.
During its heyday, MultiVersus reached 153,044 concurrent players on Steam, fueled by its f2p model and use of popular IPs. However, the game now averages around concurrent 450 players, reflecting its catastrophic decline.
