MultiVersus found itself within the whirlwind of the modern gaming landscape being an immediate success that couldn’t be followed through until it crashed and burned.
Before MVS closes in two months, what remains of Player First Games has released at least one more update to their platform fighter along with patch notes.
The big addition of the Season 5 1.5.1 update today appears to be a new photo mode that’s been made available in the offline modes when you pause the game.
Moreover, Aquaman, Gizmo, Iron Giant, Jake, Morty, Rick, Samurai Jack, Steven Universe, Taz, and the Powerpuff Girls have been touched up for what may be the final time.
MultiVersus is set to close down its servers on May 30, 2025, which is only one year after the game officially launched.
Although the game found initial success in player numbers, those figures dwindled as support for the game was seemingly mishandled until reaching a breaking point from Warner Bros.
Those who log in before that date will still be able to play MultiVersus offline with all of the content they’ve acquired.
On top of that, WB is also shuttering Player First Games itself too after just purchasing the studio last Summer.
You can check out the new patch notes below or on the MultiVersus website.
