MultiVersus, the free-to-play crossover fighting game was released with a lot of fanfare as Open Beta in 2022. However, troubled development and player feedback led to the game closed in June 2023, with a view to a rerelease in "early 2024".
Well, that time has come, and has been no further news regarding the game's progress since, other than a brief happy holiday message in December 2023. Despite that, a promotion of its McDonald's Happy Meal Toys are now out with the original characters in Open Beta - is this intentional, or is the game set to return soon? Let's find out!

That in itself is fine (though underwhelming), but are there any further news of the game to follow this promotion up?
MultiVersus News
Unfortunately, there are no other news of the game so far in 2024. This is indeed a worrying sign for the game, despite having a playable game and previously announced release date.
Currently, the gaming industry is turbulent and undergoing a lot of layoffs, including Riot Games. Warner Bros. Games has also had very disappointing game releases, such as the highly anticipated Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League.
If the game is indeed discontinued, this will be severely disappointing for fans looking for a good online fighting game who also spent money on the game during the Open Beta.
Conclusion
This mishap in MultiVersus's marketing promotion has us baffled and does not bode well for the future of the game overall.
