Originally released in July 2022 on Unreal Engine 4, MultiVersus garnered a significant player base during its beta phase. However, in an unusual move, the developers took the game down in June 2023 to make improvements. They rebuilt the game using Unreal Engine 5, incorporating feedback from players to enhance the gameplay experience. The team also added a player-versus-environment mode and new moves for each character. Players can rest easy knowing that their progress and currency will carry over to the relaunch.
Warner Bros. Games has high hopes for MultiVersus as a live-service game, aiming to cultivate a dedicated fanbase that will willingly invest in the free-to-play title. This aligns with the industry’s growing trend of focusing on live service games, which encourage players to spend money on in-game purchases. MultiVersus will be available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via the Epic Games Store.
For returning players, logging into the Warner Bros. Games Account used during the open beta will grant access to previously earned progress and content. Additionally, MultiVersus introduces a new player-versus-environment mode called “Rifts.” This mode offers an alternative way to experience the game outside of competitive player-versus-player matches. Players can use Rifts to learn mechanics, test characters, and sharpen their skills either solo or cooperatively with a friend online.
Furthermore, MultiVersus supports full cross-play and cross-progression across all launch platforms. This means players can enjoy the game with friends regardless of the platform they choose. With its diverse range of characters, immersive gameplay, and ongoing updates, MultiVersus is poised to captivate the gaming community once again. So get ready to join the battle and embrace the thrilling world of MultiVersus.
