Player First Games has announced that Season 5 of MultiVersus will mark the end of the Warner Bros. platform fighting game, with services concluding on May 30, 2025, at 9 a.m. PST. The studio shared this news through a detailed blog post on their official website. MultiVersus, which initially launched on May 28 of the previous year, will kick off its final season on February 4, running until the specified end date in May 2025. At that point, support for online play will cease, but Player First Games has assured players that all earned and purchased content will remain accessible offline through local gameplay and training modes.
In their message, the MultiVersus team expressed heartfelt gratitude: “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 Games has also confirmed that real-money transactions for MultiVersus have been discontinued as of today. However, players can still use Gleamium and character tokens to access in-game content until the game's support ends on May 30. At that time, MultiVersus will be removed from the PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, Steam, and Epic Games Store.
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 revealed that MultiVersus underperformed, leading to a $100 million writedown in their games sector. This added to a total of $300 million in writedowns following the launch of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League in January. Moreover, Variety reported last week that Warner Bros. Games head David Haddad would be leaving the company after a challenging 2024. Gunnar Wiedenfels, the chief financial officer, commented during the November call, "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."
Despite the game's closure coming just days after its one-year anniversary, Season 5 promises to be a memorable finale. Alongside the regular seasonal updates, new characters Lola Bunny and Aquaman will join the roster. Lola Bunny, a beloved Looney Toons character, can be unlocked as a daily calendar reward, while Aquaman, the DC superhero, will be available through the battle pass. Both characters will be accessible starting next week, ensuring that MultiVersus goes out with a bang.
