MultiVersus’ game director has reflected on last week’s announcement that the free-to-play brawler’s fifth season will be its last.
On Friday, developer Player First Games confirmed Season 5 will end on 30th May, roughly a year after its post-beta rerelease. At this time, the studio said the game will be playable offline “for the foreseeable future”, but it would be pulled from Epic Games Store, Steam, and both the PlayStation and Microsoft stores.
Following a few days of silence following this news – and rumours mismanagement was a key factor in the game’s shutdown – MultiVersus’ director Tony Huynh has now shared his own thoughts on the situation, stating he is in “deep mourning for the game”, and “nobody wanted this outcome”.

Writing on social media platform X, Huynh said he was “sad about the outcome”, but remains “grateful for the opportunity given to us by Warner Bros. Games and to each and every developer on the Player First Games and WB Games teams”. The director additionally thanked all those who had lent their IP to the game, which included an eclectic roster of playable characters from DC to Game of Thrones.
