MultiVersus initially launched as an open beta in Summer 2022. Players could choose from a lineup of Warner Bros’ most iconic characters like Bugs Bunny, Batman, and Shaggy to battle it out no matter the platform. After a year Warner Bros took the game offline in June 2023 to rework it, with players only able to access its training room and local matches.

The announcement has fans excited for the new additions coming to its roster, and while Hyunh gave hints in the announcement, it’s unknown when those new characters will be revealed.
