The supposed Super Smash Bros. competitor, created by other Bros. but Warner, is shutting down. MultiVersus, which brought together Warner Bros.’ IPs and characters together to fight it out fair and square, is closing permanently later this year after a long and arduous existence marred with issues.
The company’s gaming subdivision announced the move on Jan. 31 on the game’s website, stating that this upcoming season would be the title’s last. Season five will be the final content update for MultiVersus, which will add Aquaman and Lola Bunny, and then the game shall walk into the sunset and never look back. The season is set to start on Feb. 4 and will run until May 30, with MultiVersus to shut down as soon as it ends. Monetary transactions, however, are already unavailable as of Jan. 31, with players able to continue playing the game offline even post-shutdown.
