MultiVersus Shuts Down Post-Season 5 in May
Player First Games has officially announced that Season 5 of MultiVersus will mark the end of the Warner Bros. platform fighting game, with the final curtain coming down on May 30, 2025, at 9 a.m. PST. The studio shared this news through a blog post on their website, confirming that the crossover brawler, which debuted on May 28 of the previous year, will kick off Season 5 next week on February 4 and run until its scheduled end date in May 2025. At that point, online play will cease, but Player First assures fans that all earned and purchased content will remain accessible in offline modes like local gameplay and training.
Expressing their gratitude, the MultiVersus team stated, “Most importantly, we want to thank every player and person who has ever played or supported MultiVersus. All of us on the Player First Games and Warner Bros. Games teams have poured our heart and soul into this game. We will be forever grateful for the incredible support of the MultiVersus community throughout this journey.”

Player First also announced that real-money transactions for MultiVersus have been discontinued as of today, although players can still use Gleamium and character tokens to acquire in-game content until the end of support on May 30. Additionally, MultiVersus will be removed from digital storefronts such as the PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, Steam, and Epic Games Store at that time.
The decision to end MultiVersus comes after it was labeled a significant disappointment for Warner Bros. Discovery. During a financial call in November, the company disclosed that the game's performance fell short of expectations, leading to a $100 million writedown in their games sector. This added to the total $300 million in losses following the launch of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League in January. Last week, Variety reported that Warner Bros. Games head David Haddad would be departing the company after a challenging 2024.
"We took another $100 million plus impairment due to the underperforming releases, primarily MultiVersus this quarter, bringing total writedown year-to-date to over $300 million in our games business, a key factor in this year’s studio profit decline,” stated chief financial officer Gunnar Wiedenfels during the November call.
Despite the closure announcement coming just days before the game's one-year anniversary, Season 5 promises to be a memorable farewell. Alongside the typical new content that comes with seasonal updates, fans can look forward to new playable characters, Lola Bunny and Aquaman. Lola Bunny, the Looney Tunes icon, will be available as a daily calendar reward starting next week, while Aquaman, the DC superhero, can be unlocked through the battle pass. This final season will ensure that MultiVersus goes out with a bang, leaving a lasting impression on its dedicated player base.
