MultiVersus Servers Temporarily Shut Down
MultiVersus will soon complete beta testing, but we'll have to wait much longer (and that's without the online mode) for the release of the full version.
Another MultiVersus. The beta will last until June 25, after which players will lose access to online gameplay (but not local mode and cosmetic items). Earlier, as early as April 4, microtransactions will be blocked.
In an announcement on the game's official website the devs explained that they want to prepare its fighting game for the release of the full version in early 2024. This is expected to translate not only into new arenas, characters and gameplay modes, but also various improvements, including the network code, matchmaking and progression system (as a sidenote: the developer promises that players will keep their progress from the beta).
The information comes as quite a surprise to some gamers, especially since it was easy to forget that MultiVersus remains in the beta stage. Perhaps one of the reasons was the drastic decline in interest in the game. In recent weeks, the game has had less than a thousand s on Steam at a time (via SteamDB).
True, about 800 players are still more than resulting due to changes compared to Nintendo's series, on the other - the slow development of the game in recent months.
Will the developers take the opportunity to eliminate these and other shortcomings of MultiVersus, we will find out next year. More information on the end of the beta (including the extension of Season 2 and the refund policy) can be found on the game's official website.
