The open beta will include optional in-game purchases. Further, all player progression and unlocks earned during the previous Early Access period will be carried forward through the life of the game. Currently, the developers have not set an end date for the MultiVersus Open Beta, but the team has promised that it will continue to update the game with new characters, maps, seasonal content, and more in the coming months.
