One of the biggest questions in MultiVersus‘ Launching 1.0 has been answered. WB Games’ crossover platformer dropped into Open Beta in 2022, and the plan at the time seemed to be a smooth transition to a full launch. Instead, the game was temporarily shut down despite having released multiple battle passes and taking real money for skins and other cosmetics. A few months later, the reboot is just around the corner with 1.0 scheduled for May 28, 2024. So what happens to all that purchased content, and will there be any compensation for those founding players when MultiVersus returned? The the latest wave of information from developer Player First Games laid it all out and we’re here with the condensed version.
Will old purchases be preserved?
So when it comes to rewards previously earned in Open Beta Battle Passes, as well as purchased characters, skins and other cosmetics, the answer is yes. You will have all your stuff. One exception is perks, as this system is being reviewed, but there is no real money involved. A new currency called Prestige was announced, which is earned by acquiring cosmetics and leads to more specialized cosmetics. Returning Open Beta players will receive a portion of the Prestige currency upfront, based on their permanent unlock collection.
What about gold?
Gold, which was the only in-game currency (besides Gleamium, the real-money currency) in previous times, is being removed entirely. Any unspent gold will be converted into “commemorative cosmetics” that are exclusive and according to PFG will not be available in any other way. It is currently unclear if these gold bonuses will contribute to Prestige.
Will character tokens and Battle Pass carry over?
yes Like gold (and unlike Gleamium), the tokens offered in the Founder’s Pack will not be part of MultiVersus when 1.0 starts. However, any tokens that players have not redeemed before the end of the Open Beta will continue to be used. So if you’ve been saving your Hero Tokens or haven’t cashed in Battle Passes yet, you’ll still be able to do so in 1.0.
I will MultiVersus 1.0 rewarding returning players?
In addition to what is carried over into the new MVS economy, Open Beta participants will also be rewarded in several different ways for simply returning. One of these ways is time sensitive, while the other currently has no expiration date.
If you have played MultiVersus before and enter the new version before June 11, 2024you will get access to Season 1 Battle Pass. This comes with instant access to Friday the 13thJason Voorhees, which will be exclusive to the Battle Pass throughout the season. After that, it will appear for unlocking by other means, of course.
Also, Open Beta players are back MultiVersus at any time you will get some extras, namely a Snow Suit Finn character variant (MVS‘ term for skins), rising star ringtone animation and Banana Guard speaker pack.
Other free stuff?
There’s also a little something for everyone who shows up MultiVersus 1.0. One of the new characters, Banana Guard from Time for adventure, will be a free unlock for anyone who completes the tutorial. The tutorial kicks off a seven-day calendar that ends with a Lady Banana Guard character variant. Prizes for the remaining days are not specified.
To sum it all up, all you have left of MultiVersus The open beta will either still be available or converted in some way to fit the game’s redesigned economy. You’ll also get a few bonus cosmetics and full access to the first Battle Pass. Also, for fun, everyone who shows up gets a Banana Guard. On paper, this looks like a lot!
