What is MultiVersus Release Date?
While the release date is yet to be announced, Warner Bros Games has already released a open beta build to get an early taste. Sadly, there’s no official timeline for the beta phase. So, we don’t know how long the beta testing will continue. However, according to the industry, MultiVersus will remain in the beta phase for months, similar to what Fortnite does. Some reports believe that the game will be released in early 2023. We’ll have to wait and see how long the beta phase goes on.
After the beta phase finishes, the Warner Bros Games will officially release the MultiVersus, which will then be available for all the users.
MultiVersus Closed Alpha Details
Before the open beta phase, the company picks a limited number of players to try the game before its full release. The MultiVersus closed alpha offered a few players to get an early taste of the game. It ran from 19th May to 27th May. This will be followed by MultiVersus open beta, which has already gone live.

It also offers 1 vs. 1 matches, 4-player free-for-all, co-op vs. A.I. matches, custom online lobbies, The Lab (practice mode), tutorials, and local play matches supporting up to four competitors.
The game will also allow you to create a guild with your friends and engage other guilds in combat. The entire game seems to have been built with teamwork in mind.
