Warner Bros. and Player First Games have announced that the MultiVersus open beta will be taken offline in 90 days.
In a message released on Monday, Player First Games co-founder and game director Tony Huynh said the studio plans to bring the game back in early 2024.
During the downtime, all the game’s online modes and features will be unavailable.
Players will have limited offline access to local matches and the game’s training room, including their characters and cosmetic items within these modes, which will carry over to the full game next year.
“Our Open Beta has been an important learning opportunity for us and a stepping stone to the next phase of MultiVersus,” Huynh said.
“We know there’s still a lot of work to do. As a result, we have a clearer view of what we need to focus on, specifically the content cadence of new characters, maps and modes to give you more ways to enjoy the game, along with updated netcode and more matchmaking improvements.
“We’ll also be reworking the progression system based on your feedback and looking at new ways for you to connect with your friends in the game.
“To do this the right way, we will be closing the MultiVersus Open Beta on June 25, 2023. As part of this process, we’ll be pausing updates and taking the game offline as we prepare for the launch of MultiVersus, which we are targeting for early 2024.”

Huynh continued: “We do know that this news might be disappointing, but rest assured, MultiVersus will be back.
“We’ll also ensure that all of your progress and content will carry over when MultiVersus returns next year, with a variety of new content, features and modes.”
