Player First Games introduced that MultiVersus Season 5 will be its last back in January, confirming the brawler would close down completely at 5pm PDT (12 midday EDT), on May 30, 2025. It was reportedly seen as a main failure for Warner Bros. Discovery; in a financial call from November 2024, the corporate admitted MultiVersus carried out far worse than anticipated, ensuing in a $100 million writedown for its video games business. That introduced the whole loss of the business to $300 million after the disappointing launch of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League in January.

In a thread known as "Tomorrow Multiversus shuts down, what are the final things you have to sat about the game," tons of of gamers left a remark, celebrating their favourite moments.
"Multiversus was a dream. It was a platform fighter which focused on a quick offensive and 2v2 play that supported team synergy," wrote one participant. "Even outside of its idea, the casting was great. A lot of the characters’ VAs reprising their roles (like the late Kevin Conroy reprising his role as Batman, Matthew Lilard as Shaggy, Kate Micucci as Velma, John DiMaggio as Jake, Eric Bauza as Bugs and Marvin, etc) and interactions between characters during and after a match.
"While some roster decisions and transfer selections had been perplexing (like Banana Guard and Shaggy being based mostly on Ultra Instinct Shaggy), I can’t deny that a overwhelming majority of movesets had been impressed. There won’t ever be a game fairly like Multiversus."
