It's actually sad that Multi Versus is going out. I played it years ago and I thought that it was fun, despite some of the clunky gameplay. If only they didn't try to monetize the game, the game wouldn't have lost so much money.

PAGETOPPER!

I still maintain that they should have just made it a standalone retail release with DLC like NASB.

Incidentally, from what I can tell a lot of the #SaveMultiverus crowd (and at least one Gamerant article) is already saying that if MVS comes back (whether a revival or a sequel) that's exactly the form it should be in. The game as it is now in Season 5 is already a pretty good jumping off point for that.

[up][up] The game might have officially ended, sure, but there's still a couple fan continuations in the works. The biggest thus far is MVS Infinite, which, whilst still in its very early stage of development, has its own subreddit. You should check it out!

So allegedly there's been some developments behind the scenes: rumors are floating around that PFG is currently negotiating with Warner to get one or two more seasons to see if the most recent player spike can be retained.

As always, take it with a grain of salt, but I'm hoping that if it's true then this can pan out. At the very least I'm hoping they can push out all the content that's apparently already completed.

[up] I saw a Reddit post on the matter, involving a bait message from someone who claims to be a PFG/WB employee. I don't know how widespread the rumor is, but consdering what I saw in the post, I can't really believe it.

It does sound a little too good to be true, yeah. Not that it wouldn’t be nice if it does turn out to be true, though.

Would that even be legal? They posted about how things WILL be going offline and you MUST log in before the end date to keep accessing it in an official blog post, I don’t think they can walk that back without committing false advertising.

A good writer puts in a lot of details in there story. But a great one gets a story from a single detail.

Edit: You know what, there are so many fighters who WERE in the game that aren't in that pic that it's kind of puzzling when it was made.

You know this game would have been received better if it did things more like marvel rivals instead of being a microtransactions nightmare, with ridiculously unbalanced difficulty

[up] Since we're speaking about Marvel Rivals, there's speculation about WB wanting to task PFG with making a Hero Shooter game recycling the premise and assets of MultiVersus in order to compete with Marvel Rivals.

Make that of what you think it'd be.

Meanwhile, MVS Beta+ has announced that they're looking for devs to start working on their fan continuation.

I doubt Player First Games will be doing anything, since they’ve just deleted their website. Unless they plan on rebranding, they dead.

So to be clear - I can still buy Multiversus and play it at home. But the online features, Rifts, and new content pipeline are gone.

Its gonna be like booting up MGS 4 and seeing the "online" button on the main menu, knowing the servers no longer exist.

More like "redownload from your library's history" since the game is getting delisted on May 30th, but otherwise yeah.

And even then I think you'd need to keep it downloaded, since the current patch is the one that includes offline functionality for after the game goes offline. The FAQ made a point of downloading the Season 5 patch so that you could keep playing the game, which makes me think after the game goes offline that it's gonna take the patch with it.

Hoooooo thank you glad I asked. If this game is going to turn into lost media, or another Project M if all bodes well. Oh no, I'm not going through that Scott Pilgrim vs The World The Game crap over again. I'm going to go purchase it once I get my PS 5 hooked back up again.
