Smashlike platform fighter MultiVersus is officially offline after 11 months in open beta, with a full release anticipated sometime in 2024. Developer Player First Games announced the shutdown back in March, before pulling the game from Steam's store in April and gradually winding down its content until its closure on June 25.
Players who own the game and downloaded it before April 4 will still be able to play its training and local multiplayer modes, with all characters and cosmetic items from the battle pass and store fully unlocked during the game's hiatus. However, once the game is online again it'll revert back to whichever characters and cosmetics you had unlocked prior to its hibernation. In a MultiVersus FAQ, Player First says it intends to return with a full launch in early 2024, with changes like "the content cadence of new characters, maps and modes; netcode and matchmaking improvements; progression system updates; and much more."
