Warner Bros acquires MultiVersus devs as it shifts focus to free-to-play

Free Multiversus characters for the next two weeks


Player First Games, the developers of MultiVersus, has been acquired by Warner Bros. “We have worked with Player First Games over several years to create and launch MultiVersus, and we are very pleased to welcome this talented team to Warner Bros Games,” said David Haddad, president of Warner Bros Games, in a statement to IGN.

The development and release of MultiVersus, the free-to-play Smash Bros if Smash Bros. was Warner Bros, has been a real rollercoaster. MultiVersus released in July 2022 in open beta, eventually attracting millions of players with platform fighter brawls and the raw magnificence of Ultra Instinct Shaggy. But in March 2023, after MultiVersus had been playable for almost a year, Player First Games announced that—unbeknownst to most players—it had actually been in a prolonged public test and closed the servers.
