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

MultiVersus's impending closure in May, following the end of Season 5, hasn't dampened the enthusiasm of its player base. A recent update dramatically increased combat speed, a change long-requested by the community, leading to a surge in positive feedback and a social media campaign, #SaveMultiVersus.

The final season, launched February 4th, introduced Aquaman and Lola Bunny as the last playable characters. However, the significant gameplay overhaul overshadowed the bittersweet farewell. The accelerated combat, a stark contrast to the previously criticized "floaty" gameplay of the 2022 beta and even the 2024 relaunch, has been widely praised. The Season 5 patch notes attribute the speed increase to reduced hitpause on most attacks, along with character-specific adjustments. Characters like Morty, LeBron, and Bugs Bunny now feel significantly faster.

This revitalized gameplay has sparked a wave of both celebration and lament. The game, now considered by some to be significantly improved, is facing imminent closure. Players express frustration that these crucial improvements arrived only as the game prepares to shut down. The improved gameplay, including enhanced shield animations, has been lauded for making the game feel more polished. Despite the confirmed shutdown, some players remain hopeful for a potential reversal of Warner Bros.' decision.

Despite the overwhelmingly positive response to the gameplay changes, Warner Bros. and Player First Games remain committed to the May 30th shutdown. Real-money transactions were disabled on January 31st, and the Season 5 premium battle pass has been made free. While the game's future remains uncertain, the community continues to celebrate the improved gameplay and share memes, marking a bittersweet end to a game that finally met its potential just before its demise.
