The online servers for platform fighting game MultiVersus have officially been taken down. While players will no longer to match up with others online, WB Games had noted that players that had logged in between between February 4 and May 30 will still be able to play the title. WB Games had originally announced that May 30 would be the last day for the MultiVersus servers all the way back in January. In its announcement, the company had said that the game’s fifth season would serve as its final update. Along with taking the servers offline, MultiVersus will also be delisted from all digital storefronts, including Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store. This means that no new players will be able to buy the game going forward. “This decision was not made lightly,” posted developer Player First Games back when it had announced the servers being shut down. “All of us on the Player First Games and Warner Bros Games teams have put our heart and soul into MultiVersus, creating a unique social and cooperative experience from the ground up that brings together a variety of popular characters and worlds.” “We are very proud of the game we have built and are incredibly thankful for the support of the MultiVersus community throughout this journey. Your passion and enthusiasm have been unmatched.” The servers being shut down comes just a few months after Player First Games itself was also closed. The studio’s closure came alongside the closure of WB Games San Diego, and Monolith, as well as an in-development game based on the Wonder Woman franchise. “This is a strategic change in direction and not a reflection of these teams or the talent within them,” said the company in a statement announcing the studio closures. While MultiVersus had scene some success back when it originally launched in closed alpha all the way back in 2022, the game lost most of its player base quickly, before the alpha was shut down. It later got a full relaunch in May 2024 on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S. However, despite the relaunch, the game was never able to get back the traction it had originally built up. Rumours have indicated that the commercial failure of MultiVersus may have contributed to Warner Bros. Games facing quite a bit of heat in terms of its financial state, leading the company to shut down development on Monolith’s Wonder Woman game. MultiVersus, along with Rocksteady’s Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League had been implicated in this by Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier. “Last year Suicide Squad was a humongous flop – they wrote off $200 million because of that. MultiVersus and Quidditch Champions, also both flops, [they] wrote off another $100 million because of that,” said Schrier, pointing out that WB Games’ forays into live-service games had just not been working out for the company under the leadership of former head David Haddad. Haddad has since stepped down from his position, being succeeded by JB Perrette, who also serves as the CEO and president of Warner Bros. Discovery’s global streaming and games division.

Mortal Kombat 1 DLC is officially over as developer teases next project Adam Starkey Published May 26, 2025 1:08pm Updated May 26, 2025 1:09pm Finish him (Warner Bros.) NetherRealm has confirmed there will be no more DLC characters for Mortal Kombat 1 following disappointing sales. Mortal Kombat is still the best-selling fighting game franchise in the world, but the latest entry fell short of its usual sales expectations. The latest game, titled Mortal Kombat 1, was a reboot of the series set in a new timeline, where classic characters like Raiden, Sub-Zero, and Johnny Cage possessed reworked origin stories and aesthetics. While the game itself was mechanically solid, it clearly didn’t connect with fans in the same way as its predecessor, Mortal Kombat 11. The latter managed to sell over 15 million copies during its lifetime, whereas Mortal Kombat 1, as of January this year, has sold 5 million. After rumours emerged last year of an early cut to DLC support, developer NetherRealm has confirmed there will be no more extra characters or expansions for Mortal Kombat 1. ‘We are hearing players’ requests for continued game support of Mortal Kombat 1, and, while we will continue to support Mortal Kombat 1 through balance adjustments and fixes, there will not be additional DLC characters or story chapters released from this point on,’ a post on X reads. ‘We understand this will be disappointing for fans, but our team at NetherRealm needs to shift focus to the next project in order to make it as great as we possibly can.’ The last DLC character for Mortal Kombat 1 was the T-1000 from Terminator 2: Judgement Day, which rolled out in March following last year’s Khaos Reigns expansion. Earlier this month, a definitive edition combining all the DLC was released. NetherRealm hasn’t announced what its next project actually is, but a dataminer recently suggested the studio is working on the next entry in the Injustice franchise. In a post on X earlier this month, dataminer MultiverSusie, who is known for MultiVersus leaks, wrote: ‘MultiVersus shutting down is an injustice, then doing it all again is another injustice. Leaving me without any leaks is yet again another Injustice. 3.’ More Trending If true, this would be the first entry in the series since 2017’s Injustice 2. The series takes place in an alternate reality within the DC Universe, where Superman has become an evil tyrant, and features a roster of fighters ranging from Wonder Woman to Black Adam. Prior to Injustice, NetherRealm developed a DC crossover fighter titled Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe, which was released in 2008 on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Rumours of a new Injustice game have floated around for years, but the timing might be right for a new instalment to coincide with DC’s revamped cinematic universe, which starts with Superman this summer.

It was rumored for many months and somewhat a given with the launch of the Definitive Edition, but NetherRealm Studios has finally confirmed it. Mortal Kombat 1 won’t receive any more DLC characters or story chapters. While balance adjustments and fixes will continue, the developer will focus on its next project to “make it as great as we possibly can,” though it understands the news will disappoint fans. Launched in September 2023 for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch, Mortal Kombat 1 is a reboot of the series timeline. It introduced Kameo Fighters as assists and a new mode, Invasions, to accommodate a seasonal format. While it received acclaim for its visuals and story, fans raised concerns about the mechanics, extensive bugs and excessive monetization. An expansion, Khaos Reigns, followed in September 2024 alongside Kombat Pack 2, but this also received criticism for its short story and $50 price. Another expansion and Kombat Pack 3 were allegedly in development but seemingly cancelled due to Khaos Reigns’ poor sales. As for the future, NetherRealm Studios may be working on a new Injustice, according to a MultiVersus leaker. Nothing is confirmed, so stay tuned for updates.

Batman and Superman could be back for another DC Comics dingdong after a leaker suggested Multiversus' cancellation could see a return for Injustice–here's all we've learnedTech16:30, 20 May 2025Batman Vs Superman... againIt's a been a tough time for Warner Bros in recent years. While the giant is behind hits like A Minecraft Movie and is looking forward to a Superman return later this year on the Silver Screen, its gaming division has been struggling.On one hand, Hogwarts Legacy has been a huge success, but an unannounced expansion was cancelled, while the Wonder Woman game that had been in development for years was cancelled entirely, too, with Monolith Productions shutting down alongside Multiversus and its developer Player First Games. And then there's Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League...‌Still, the house that Bugs Bunny built is reportedly looking to bring superheroes back, at least if a new leak is to be believed.‌Content cannot be displayed without consentOver on X (formerly Twitter), MultiverSusie (an account with a strong track history of Multiversus leaks) has left a not-so-subtle hint that Warner Bros could be looking to return to its Injustice series."Multiversus shutting down is an injustice, then doing it all again is another injustice," the post reads.Article continues below"Leaving me without any leaks is yet again another injustice" it adds, following up with the number '3'.You'd have to be pretty bold to start a bar fight with Wonder WomanIt seems pretty likely, then, that Warner Bros is preparing a third entry in the fighting series which was well-received in its first two entries.‌Injustice: Gods Among Us took the 2011 Mortal Kombat entry and retrofitted it in spandex, maintaining much of its brutality with the likes of the Justice League, Zod, and Black Adam.Its sequel was even more ambitious, offering the likes of Atrocitus, Gorilla Grodd and Poison Ivy, as well as DLC including the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Hellboy, and Mortal Kombat's Raiden.It launched in 2017, meaning it's been all too long since we've been able to punch Scarecrow through a building.Article continues belowFor the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletters.‌‌‌

With NetherRealm Studios releasing Mortal Kombat 1: Definitive Edition, it’s all but a given that support for the fighting game has ended about 20 months after launch. The response from fans isn’t the best, especially since creator Ed Boon promised long-term support, but there’s also curiosity about what’s next. Despite WB Games announcing its focus on tentpole franchises like Mortal Kombat in 2024, a sequel to Injustice may be on the docket instead. MultiverSusie, known for MultiVersus leaks before the title’s shutdown was announced, tweeted, “MultiVersus shutting down is an injustice, then doing it all again is another injustice. Leaving me without any leaks is yet again another injustice.” They would then follow up with another tweet stating, “3.” Putting 2 and 2 – or, in this case, 2 and 1 – together seemingly points to a new Injustice. This is far from hard confirmation, and NetherRealm hasn’t officially announced plans to return to the DC-centric fighter. Considering that Injustice 2 launched in 2017 and garnered a strong critical and commercial response, a sequel wouldn’t be out of left field. Time will tell, so stay tuned for updates. multiversus shutting down is an injustice, then doing it all again is another injusticeleaving me without any leaks is yet again another injustice— MultiverSusie (@multiversusie) May 17, 2025 3— MultiverSusie (@multiversusie) May 17, 2025

Part of the appeal of Injustice (and DC games in general) for me is getting the DCAU band back together. Also young Steve Martin-looking Superman again or I riot.   KDC720 Member Oct 25, 2017 4,028 I'd be down for Injustice 3, especially with Gunn's DCU about to take off I think there's going to be more of a demand for it.

Also a sidenote, I think Max didn't like MK11's gameplay cause it felt like Injustice and the gameplay is kinda slow but ALWAYS praised MKX/MK9's gameplay due to how in your face it is, I still calling this leak BS with all due respect, WB said MK is a priority, then I'm sure it'll be just that. As much as I'd like a Injustice 3 as I still think Injustice 2 is a beautiful game, I doubt we will get one unless MK fully goes on a big break.
