MultiVersus Will Go Offline June 25, Won't Be Back Until 2024

MultiVersus is going offline on June 25, and won't be back until 2024. This comes after months of complaints from fans, who were disappointed over the lack of new content.

This decision to pull the plug has divided fans, with many not even aware that MultiVersus was still in its open beta stage. Those who spent money on the Game's microtransactions are calling for refunds, but Player First Games has already stated that it will not be amending its refund policy in light of this news. Now, the full release of the Game is scheduled for "early 2024", leaving players without the platform fighter for more than half a year.

SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT

"Thank you for your support during the open beta," says MultiVersus game director, Tony Huynh. "We’ve been excited to see the interest and enthusiasm from the community and your feedback has been invaluable."

Huynh also alludes to the criticism MultiVersus received in its second season, implying this was the main factor in the decision to take the Game offline for an extended period of time.

"We know there’s still a lot of work to do," he continues. "As a result, we have a clearer view of what we need to focus on, specifically the content cadence of new characters, maps and modes to give you more ways to enjoy the Game, along with updated netcode and more matchmaking improvements."

The Game won't be completely inaccessible after it goes offline. According to an FAQ, players will still be able to participate in local multiplayer matches and enter the training area with their characters. They won't, however, be able to access any online features, which includes microtransactions. In fact, you won't be able to purchase in-Game currency as of April 4, when all updates will cease.

MultiVersus will also be removed from storefronts on this April 4 date, meaning anyone who wants to play offline will have to pick it up before then. It won't have to be installed, just "purchased" on the store (even if it is a free-to-play title).

Jurgen Klopp offers positive update on Ibrahima Konate return timeline

Image
Ibrahima Konate was absent from Liverpool’s draw with Man City due to injury, but Jurgen Klopp has revealed his centre-back has a “chance” to return at Man United. The Reds were again without 10 senior players on matchday, with Konate the latest to be added to the list after pulling up during Thursday’s rout at Sparta Prague. It felt like an injury that could have been prevented had the Frenchman been substituted at half time, but the manager is hopeful his absence will extend to only two Game s. Speaking to reporters after the 1-1 draw against Man City, Klopp said: “Ibou has a chance for United. A good chance.” That trip to Old Trafford is in a week’s time (March 17), with the FA Cup quarter-final clash following the second leg against Sparta Prauge and preceding the first international break of the season. It is positive news that Konate’s prognosis is not for an extended time on the sidelines, as the Reds, of course, are alrea...
