Warner Bros. Games has officially confirmed that Season 5 will be the last update for MultiVersus. The season is set to begin on February 4, 2025, and will conclude on May 30, 2025. After this, players will still be able to enjoy the game offline for the “foreseeable” future, but will not receive any new content or update.

The confirmation comes a day after where MultiVersus leaker AusilMV, citing the inside source, claimed that Season 5 represents a crucial moment for the game’s survival, potentially serving as a “last-ditch effort” to revive its declining player base. “[MultiVersus] Season 5 may be the final season of MultiVersus, depending on how it performs,” the leaker stated. But now things have been confirmed.

MultiVersus’ Decline Over Time

The game’s journey has been a rollercoaster since its launch nearly three years ago. Despite an impressive initial success with over 153,000 concurrent players on Steam alone, MultiVersus experienced a dramatic 99% decline in its player count within just a few months.

In an attempt to address these challenges, Warner Bros. Games made a bold decision in June 2023, temporarily removing the game from all platforms following what they referred to as an “open beta” period.

The game made its comeback in May 2024 with significant improvements and updates, but it faced the same fate as before. On the new official launch day [May 27th], the game peaked at over 113,000 players but saw a 90% drop a month later.

Now, it peaks at around 600 players in the last 24 hours of writing as per SteamDB, despite new content released in Season 4, which included new fighters, new modes such as Arena Mode, a new map, and a special event during Christmas time.

MultiVersus fans now have one more season to enjoy fresh content before the game transitions into offline mode. Whether the game could see a revival in the future remains to be seen, but for now, the journey is coming to a close.
