MultiVersus released back in 2022 as a public beta test, and it immediately proved popular. It was available to play for free for almost a year, but developer Player First Games took the beta down, promising the game would return in a more complete state in 2024. Now, a series of evidence has begun popping up, suggesting some news might be just around the corner.
The platform fighter is Warner Bros.' free-to-play riff on Super Smash Bros., featuring many well-known characters from the company's vast catalogue. This includes DC superheroes and villains like Batman, Wonder Woman, and Harley Quinn; Looney Tunes such as Bugs Bunny and Tasmanian Devil; Cartoon Network favourites Finn, Jake, and Steven Universe; and old favourites like Shaggy, Velma, and Tom & Jerry. Much of the beta was focused on finding a good balance for each combatant and their moves, but the game has been offline for months as the developer makes refinements.
Now, fans have discovered various clues that point to a potential re-announcement of the game. Most prominent is an official McDonald's webpage, which shows a series of upcoming cards featuring characters from MultiVersus. In addition, one person snapped these McDonald's promotional goods, the Steam page has been updated as recently as today, and one of the game's voice actors, Daniel Ross, is teasing something MultiVersus-related.
All this stuff suggests we might get an update on the game at the very least in the near future. It was always planned to make a comeback this year, so we can't say this is too surprising, but it appears as though we'll be hearing something soon.
Are you excited for the return of MultiVersus? Let us know in the comments section below.

While the game was fun in its beta, unless they really add to this game, WB is looking at another monumental flop.
I actually really enjoyed my time with this game. My biggest issue really was just that the DLC characters that were added never really seemed like the right choice to get people excited. Like how was Neo from The Matrix never a thing!? I also wished there was more offline features too.
Still if it does come back I would be interested. It had some really neat mechanics with different characters and I loved the emphasis on dodging attacks as opposed to blocking them. It gave the game a bit of a unique identity compared to other games like it.
I honestly think the beta was really fun, they added some great extra characters too. I'm super curious what they've been working on for an entire year for the proper release.
I had a good time with the beta, I did hate how little arenas were available.
Not to mention the grind for the battle pass.
Apart from those two, had a real blast with friends.
