WB Games and Player First Games announced that MultiVersus, their free-to-play fighting game featuring characters from various Warner Bros.’ owned properties, will return on May 28.
MultiVersus, a fighting game heavily inspired by Super Smash Bros., originally entered an Open Beta period on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox in July 2022 and became a surprise hit when I did so. I gave MultiVersus a three-and-a-half-star review and called it “fun at its core, with a take on the platform genre that is wholly unique.” Interest in the game eventually dropped off hard, though, and in March 2023, WB Games announced plans to take the game offline so Player First Games could refine it for a 2024 release. It’s been unplayable online since June 2023, and fans worried whether MultiVersus would ever return.
In a video posted on YouTube Monday morning, Game Director Tony Huynh confirmed MultiVersus‘ impending return. Huynh explained that Player First Games has used this extra time to add new characters like Marvin the Martian and new stages, bring the game over to Unreal Engine 5 to improve its visuals, add new moves and mechanics to existing characters, and improve the netcode and game performance in online play. Cross-play and cross-progression will be supported at release.
The relaunched MultiVersus will also include a PvE gameplay mode. Footage of the mode shows Wonder Woman and Finn from Adventure Time fighting off a computer-controlled Marvin the Martian and LeBron James.
RelatedWhen it launches, MultiVersus will be available on all the platforms it was originally: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.

Riot Games has revealed Clove, the next agent that will come to Valorant as part of Episode 8, Act II.

As we reach the middle of this current console generation, people are wondering when improved “Pro” versions of consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X will arrive. PS5 fans had their curiosity rewarded this week when Moore’s Law is Dead and Insider Gaming leaked the specs of what has become colloquially known as the PS5 Pro and is reportedly referred to as “Trinity” internally at Sony.
Baldur’s Gate 3 game director Swen Vincke shocked fans of the Dungeons & Dragons RPG when he revealed that the critically acclaimed game would not get any expansions and that Larian Studios would not go right into making Baldur’s Gate 4. Considering how much of a runaway success Baldur’s Gate 3 has been, it seemed like that would be the most logical continuation of things. Larian isn’t the only studio to leave behind a wildly successful game either; Nintendo has confirmed The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom also won’t get any expansions.
