MultiVersus goes offline ahead of 2024 relaunch

Didn't... didn't it just come out?

Warner Bros character fighter MultiVersus has been taken offline ahead of a 2024 relaunch.

The title launched in an open beta in July of 2022.

“We know there’s still a lot of work to do,” said Player First Games’ Tony Huynh.

“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. We’ll also be reworking the progression system based on your feedback and looking at new ways for you to connect with your friends in the game.”

MultiVersus will be pulled from online stores from 4 April; those who’ve already “purchased” the free-to-play game will be able to download it beyond that date. Servers will be shut down from 25 June, meaning that’ll be the last day you can play until the 2024 relaunch.

Sadly, no refunds will be available to those who’ve made in-game purchases.

“This announcement does not change any current refund policies or terms offered by the storefront(s) from which Founder’s Packs or Gleamium bundles were purchased,” reads an FAQ.

MultiVersus is available on Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, PS4 and PS5. We previewed it here and have criticised its microtransations right here.
