Leak Confirms 2 New MultiVersus Characters

Stripe, from Gremlins, and Black Adam will join the roster!
by Joe Wilcock on August 15, 2022   



Today marks the launch of MultiVersus Season 1 as Player First Games continues to beta test their newest brawler. An all-new battle pass has been released, along with the official announcement that Morty, from Rick and Morty, will join the roster starting August 23rd. 

The addition of Morty would bolster the roster to 17 strong. Impressive as that is for a fledgling game still in beta, they show no signs of letting up. Twitter user _firemonkey saw a glimpse of what is to come when their MultiVersus Season 1 booted up revealing a picture that depicts both Stripe, the nasty Gremlin, and Black Adam on the starting screen. 
 


The draw of MultiVersus is the characters it can boast, even more so than its adversaries. Regardless of its stellar gameplay, which came as a surprise to most, the selling point will always be its roster. Thankfully, Warner Bros do have a lot of properties and licences to play with. However, Player First Games has opted to go with another DC hero, Black Adam, and a very niche Gremlin character. Black Adam does make sense considering Dwayne Johnson’s upcoming film but it would start to bloat the DC contingency. 
 

  • Arya Stark (Game of Thrones) 
  • Batman (DC) 
  • Bugs Bunny (Looney Tunes) 
  • Finn (Adventure Time) 
  • Garnet (Steven Universe) 
  • Harley Quinn (DC) 
  • Iron Giant (The Iron Giant)
  • Jake (Adventure Time)
  • LeBron James (Space Jam) 
  • Reindog (original character) 
  • Shaggy (Scooby-Doo) 
  • Steven Universe (Steven Universe) 
  • Superman (DC) 
  • Taz (Looney Tunes) 
  • Tom & Jerry (Tom & Jerry)
  • Velma (Scooby-Doo)
  • Wonder Woman (DC)


Aside from Rick and Morty, who will both join the roster in Season 1, there is a pantheon of characters in the wings waiting to be finished and announced: 
 

  • Joker (DC)
  • Raven  (DC)
  • Gizmo (Gremlins)
  • Marvin the Martian (Looney Tunes)
  • Scooby-Doo (Scooby-Doo)
  • Daenerys (Game of Thrones)
  • The Hound (Game of Thrones)
  • Wicked Witch (The Wizard of Oz)
  • Godzilla (Godzilla)


Some characters are reportedly also in very early development but are still in the pipeline to release at some point in the future:
 

  • Johnny Bravo (Johnny Bravo)
  • Fred Flinstone (Flinstones)
  • Samurai Jack (Samurai Jack)
  • The Powerpuff Girls (Powerpuff Girls (all one fighter)
  • The Animaniacs (The Animaniacs (all one fighter)
  • Duck Dodgers/Daffy (Looney Tunes)
  • Scorpion (Mortal Kombat)
  • Ben 10 (Ben 10)
  • Ted Lasso (Ted Lasso)


A plethora of patches came with the new season as well, which can be seen in their entirety here. Arya’s combos should be “more consistent and successful at lower skill levels” and Bugs Bunny felt “a bit too safe in everything he does” according to the developers. Finn was patched for similar reasons too as “fighting against Finn felt too difficult as Finn felt a bit too safe and could throw out attacks without much fear of a punish due to how quickly he recovered”. Most fans were, of course, mostly concerned with Taz’s abilities and how they fared after the patches. The patch notes cite that “this is the start of our tornado changes for Taz. We will be continuing to monitor the tornado with extra scrutiny in case additional changes are needed”. 

The MultiVersus open beta is available for free on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One consoles, and PC (Steam) and features full cross-play between systems.
