The update announcement mentions that the goal is to launch MultiVersus in early 2024 or at least six months after it closes. The game won’t receive any updates after April 4 and will be completely offline during this time.

MultiVersus is available on PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS4, and PS5 platforms through the official website.
