Core mechanics of MultiVersus and what’s new in Season 5
When it comes to gameplay, MultiVersus follows a similar style and mechanics to Super Smash Bros. In this game, players have plenty of modes to choose from: 1v1, 2v2, and free-for-all. As a player, you will be fighting in various stages, intending to knock opponents out of the boundaries of the arena. With the game's cross-play support, you can connect and play with friends regardless of what platform you play it on.
Moreover, cross-progression allows you to pick up where you left off on any device seamlessly. To utilize these cross-play and cross-progression features, you must have a WB Games Account. This ensures that your content and progress are consistently shared across all supported platforms. On the other hand, aside from diverse character lineups, the game’s maps are equally impressive, as it transform legendary realms into vibrant battlegrounds. Here, you can brawl in Batman’s Bat Cave, Jake and Finn’s Treefort, and the iconic Throne Room from Game of Thrones.
The game’s release of Season 5 introduces two new playable characters: Aquaman from DC Comics via the Battle Pass as the first-tier reward and Lola Bunny from the Looney Tunes franchise as the daily calendar login reward. Aside from these, three new events and new maps are added. Likewise, in the arena, there are also three new items: dashing confidence, heroic landing, and armor crush. Meanwhile, when it comes to general combat, Season 5 contains shields, automatic techs, dodge meter and dodge cancel actions, a camera, and hit pause.
Season 5 is its last season update before it shuts down
As Player First Games and Warner Bros. Games launched Season 5, it also announced that this serves as the final seasonal content update for the game before it permanently shuts down on May 30, 2025. Players can continue enjoying all the online features until the game officially concludes. The game can also now be played offline through the local gameplay mode, be it solo against AI foes or with up to three friends. To do this, you must download the most updated version of the game and sign in during Season 5 until May 2025.
Once logged in, a local save file will be automatically created and connected to where you want to play the game, letting you play the game offline with all the content it offers. Meanwhile, there are no real money transactions anymore in the game, meaning players can no longer purchase Gleamium. However, players can still use their remaining Gleamium or character tickets to access in-game content until Season 5 ends.
A great choice to enjoy before shutdown if you love WB characters
Despite its impending shutdown, MultiVersus remains a standout platform fighter that brought together beloved Warner Bros. characters in a thrilling, crossover brawling experience.
