MultiVersus, the high-flying brawler featuring loads of iconic Warner Bros. characters, is going offline until next year.
On Monday, developer Player First Games announced that the MultiVersus open beta is going offline on June 25, 2023. Not permanently, mind you – it’ll launch properly sometime in 2024.
“Our Open Beta has been an important learning opportunity for us and a stepping stone to the next phase of MultiVersus,” Tony Huynh, co-founder at Player First Games, said via blog post. “We know there’s still a lot of work to do. As a result, we have a clearer view of what we need to focus on, specifically the content cadence of new characters, maps and modes to give you more ways to enjoy the game, along with updated netcode and more matchmaking improvements.”
Player First Games also released a video of this statement, which you can check out below.
MVPs, thank you for the support during Open Beta! The feedback and inspiration has been amazing. Open Beta will close on June 25 as we prepare for full launch in early 2024. #MultiVersus will be back better than ever with new content, features, modes & more when we return. pic.twitter.com/6NOCMRDBrp

To that end, the MultiVersus beta client will not receive any further updates after the June closure. Until the full launch in 2024, only offline game modes like the training room and local matches will be accessible.
MultiVersus saw more than 20 million active players within its first month last year, though that momentum clearly dwindled – even after the inclusion of Morty Smith and Black Adam.
