This will end seasonal content and remove it from digital storefronts, leaving only offline modes. The timing has left fans reeling, celebrating the improved gameplay while mourning the imminent closure. Comments on X and Reddit highlight this bittersweet sentiment, with many expressing disbelief and a lingering hope for a reversal.

Professional player Mew2King questioned the timing of the speed increase, highlighting the missed opportunity to implement these changes earlier.

Despite player outcry and the #SaveMultiVersus campaign, Player First and Warner Bros. remain steadfast in their decision. Real-money transactions were disabled on January 31st, though the Season 5 premium battle pass is free. The game\\'s final curtain call is set for May 30th at 9 am PT. While the end is certain, the community finds solace in sharing memes and celebrating the game\\'s belated triumph before its demise.

MultiVersus Players Praise Major Season 5 Gameplay Changes Ahead of Server Shutdown — and Now #SaveMultiVersus Is Trending Online

Author : Samuel Update : Mar 16,2025

The announcement of MultiVersus' shutdown after Season 5 in May sent shockwaves through the community. However, a recent update introducing sweeping combat speed changes has breathed new life into the game, sparking a fervent #SaveMultiVersus movement on social media. The final season, launched February 4th, 9am PT, included the addition of Aquaman and Lola Bunny as its last playable characters. But it was the significant gameplay overhaul that truly captivated players.

The update, detailed in a Season 5 Combat Changes Preview video on X/Twitter, dramatically increased combat speed. Characters move and chain combos with unprecedented fluidity, a stark contrast to the floaty gameplay criticized during the 2022 beta and even the relaunch in May 2024. Patch notes attribute this speed boost to a reduction in hit pause across most attacks. Many characters, including Morty, LeBron, Iron Giant, Bugs Bunny, and Black Adam, received further speed adjustments, allowing for faster fall speeds during aerial attacks. Garnet's adjustments focus on increased ground ringout potential and reduced air ringout potential, balancing her already high speed.
