MultiVersus Game: Everything you need to know about Warner Bros. new fighting game

MultiVersus, a brand new Warner Bros. fighting game featuring everyone’s favorite characters – MultiVersus is a crossover platform fighting game that has attracted the eyes of all fighting game aficionados out there.  It has been developed by Player First Games and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. The game’s first official season started on Monday, Aug. 15. The main selling point of the game is that it features characters from multiple IPs owned by Warner Bros.

The hype around the game was generated with its open beta which was released to the public on July 26. In a short time, MultiVersus was experienced remarkable success as people flocked to play their favorite characters. The huge popularity forced the developers to delay the launch of season one.

MultiVersus: Game Overview

MultiVersus is a free-to-play fighting game that puts an emphasis on teamwork. It features a two-on-two format and supports full cross-play, cross-progression, and rollback netcode with its launch.

The developers of this Warner Bros. fighting game have promised to expand the list of available characters. The expanding roster includes characters from franchises like Rick and Morty, Game of Thrones, DC, Scooby-Doo, Looney Tunes, Adventure Time, and many more popular universes. Apart from characters added from different universes, the developers have also announced that there will be some brand-new original characters added to the game.

According to the tweet by the official MultiVersus account, an all-new battle pass will be started with the launch of season one in the game. Although we do not have any details regarding the pass’s content yet, there have been some screenshot leaks and rumors floating around. From the leaked screenshots, we can see the season one page showcasing new in-game cosmetics, different types of character costumes, banners, icons, and much more.

We’re excited to announce Season 1 will begin on August 15 with a brand-new Battle Pass for you to earn in-game rewards! We can also confirm Morty will join the character roster on August 23 as part of Season 1. We look forward to sharing more in the coming weeks! #MultiVersus

Apart from the datamined characters that have been revealed, there are also files of other characters available within the released code. For example, multiple pieces of data show that Naruto might appear in the game according to some file names and visuals. But placeholder data for an original ninja character was also present within the game’s codes, creating confusion. Some speculate that this might be a backup option in case the licensing for Naruto falls through.
