Player First Games has announced that MultiVersus Season 5 will mark the end of the Warner Bros. platform fighting game, concluding on May 30, 2025, at 9 a.m. PST. The studio shared this news through a blog post on its website, revealing that MultiVersus, which launched on May 28 of the previous year, will kick off its final season on February 4, 2025, and run until its end date in May. At that time, online play will cease, but players can continue to enjoy all their earned and purchased content offline through local gameplay and training modes.
The MultiVersus team expressed their gratitude, stating, “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 are no longer available as of today. However, players can still use Gleamium and character tokens to access in-game content until the 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 Warner Bros. Discovery labeled the project as a significant failure. In a financial call in November, the company disclosed that MultiVersus underperformed, leading to a $100 million writedown in its games sector. This added to a total of $300 million in writedowns following the launch of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League in January. Additionally, Warner Bros. Games head David Haddad is set to leave the company after a challenging 2024, as reported by Variety last week.
"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,” said chief financial officer Gunnar Wiedenfels during the November call.
Despite the game shutting down just days after its one-year anniversary, Season 5 promises to go out with a flourish. Alongside the usual new content, the season will introduce new playable characters, Lola Bunny and Aquaman. Lola Bunny, the Looney Toons icon, will be unlockable as a daily calendar reward, while Aquaman, the DC superhero, will be available through the battle pass, starting next week.
