From this summer, MultiVersus created the event by attracting 20 million players in a few weeks. With a steady pace of new releases across two seasons and generally positive reviews, even though the popularity of the free-to-play had gone down, we would have almost forgotten that it was only a beta.
We will quickly remember it, because Player First Games has planned a funny program for the next few months. There would be no smooth transition between theEarly Access and the final version, but a long break: the open beta will end on June 25, 2023, after which online play will become temporarily unavailable. The developers will then take some time to rework the project away from the servers, before relaunch them in early 2024…
The application will also be removed from download platforms on April 4, and those who keep it on their PC or console will still be able to enjoy training and local games after June 25. And, yes, rest assured, all cosmetics unlocked or paid for so far will carry over into the final release.
Hello everyone,
I’m Tony from Player First Games.
I’m here today on behalf of the entire MultiVersus team to thank you for your support during our open beta. We were delighted to see the interest and enthusiasm from the community and your feedback has been invaluable. We continue to be honored by the accolades the game has received and thrilled to see the fun MultiVersus has brought to players.
Throughout our open beta, we’ve worked hard to create the best gaming experience, and we appreciate all the inspiration you’ve given us. Our open beta has been an important learning opportunity for us and a stepping stone to the next phase of MultiVersus.
We know there is still a lot of work to do. As a result, we have a clearer view of what we need to focus on, especially the content cadence of new characters, maps, and modes to give you more ways to enjoy the game, as well as updated netcode and more matchmaking improvements. We’ll also be reworking the progression system based on your feedback and looking for new ways to connect with your friends in-game.
To do this, we will close the MultiVersus open beta on June 25, 2023. As part of this process, we will pause updates and take the game offline as we prepare for the launch of MultiVersus, which we are targeting for the start. 2024.
I’m sure you’re wondering what this means to you. During this downtime, all online modes and features will not be available. You’ll have limited offline access to the Training Room (known as The Lab) and local matches, as well as access to your characters and cosmetics in those modes.
We know this news may be disappointing, but rest assured, MultiVersus will be back. We’ll also make sure all of your progress and content carries over when MultiVersus returns next year, with a variety of new content, features, and modes. Along the way, we’ll provide updates, so keep an eye on our social channels and website, as well as our Dedicated FAQ.
Thanks again to the entire MultiVersus community. We greatly appreciate your passion and enthusiasm and look forward to sharing our next chapter with you.
What to allow MultiVersus to explode next year, or on the contrary to permanently cut its momentum? We will find out when the time comes.
