MultiVersus: Release date, characters, stages & everything we know

MultiVersus is nearly ready to return, allowing players to pit the characters from DC Comics, Game of Thrones, Adventure Time, Scooby-Doo, Steven Universe, and Rick and Morty against each other.

MultiVersus is a platform fighter that many see as Warner Bros.’s response to the Super Smash Bros. series. This is because it’s a crossover game that unites characters from various Warner Bros. franchises.

One of the big differences between MultiVersus and Super Smash Bros. is that it focuses much more on two-on-two matches with little single-player content. MultiVersus is also far more monetized than Super Smash Bros, though it’s at least a free-to-play game.

Many people have had a chance to try MultiVersus, as it had an open beta in 2022. The developers surprised fans in 2023 when they announced that the open beta would be taken down for the rest of the year, to focus on the final release.

After months of silence, Warner Bros. has confirmed that MultiVersus is returning in 2024, along with some big changes to the game.

What has changed since MultiVersus’ open beta?

MultiVersus has also reworked its entire netcode for a smoother experience. Fans highly requested this feature, considering that much of the open beta’s content required an Internet connection.

New modes have also been added to the roster of the MultiVersus characters, though details about these are currently unknown.

The final version of MultiVersus adds a PvE mode with its own rewards. The details of this are also unknown at the time of writing. Fans will hopefully get a chance to see more ahead of the game’s launch on May 28, 2024.
