Amid its push toward mobile and free-to-play titles and away from the “volatile” AAA space, Warner Bros. has announced the acquisition of MultiVersus developer Player First Games.
MultiVersus – which has had an unusual, sometimes controversial development journey since the start of its open beta back in 2022 – is Player First Games’ debut title. It finally got its full free-to-play release this May after disappearing for over a year, and while its current player numbers don’t appear to be anywhere near those seen during the height of its open beta popularity, Warner Bros. is clearly happy enough to acquire the studio behind it.
Full details of the purchase haven’t been disclosed, but Warner Bros. confirmed (via IGN) Player First Games’ co-founders Tony Huynh and Chris White will continue to lead the studio.
