Summary
Fans of WB’s character brawlerMultiVersusaren’t the only ones wishing forBreaking Bad’s Walter White to join the roster, as the game’s director has made known his desire to add the iconic character as well. After initially launching in beta in 2022,MultiVersuswas taken offline early last year allowing Player First Games to further work on the game, adding even more characters and stages. Over the year plus of downtime, the team has revamped many of the game’s systems and is ready to relaunchMultiVersuson May 28.
MultiVersus' character roster was already jam-packed with familiar faces pulling from nearly every corner of Warner Bros' library, from Tom and Jerry and Bugs Bunny, to DC heroes like Batman and Superman, to popular Cartoon Network characters like Steven Universe and Finn and Jake fromAdventure Time, and even Adult Swim’s Rick and Morty.MultiVersus’imminent 2024 relaunchis looking to add even more faces, like Agent Smith fromThe Matrix, The Joker, and Jason Voorhees. Additionally, new stages likeThe Powerpuff Girls' Townsville Hall and the lab fromDexter’s Laboratoryare confirmed to be coming to the game in the future.
As buzz surroundingMultiVersuscontinues to swirl leading up to its May 28 relaunch, many fans of the brawler have been hoping for the iconic television character Walter White fromBreaking Badto be added to the roster.In speaking with TheGamer, the game’sdirector, Tony Huynh, expressed that he and the team at Player First Games would love to haveWalter White on theMultiVersusroster, but the fact that WB doesn’t ownBreaking Badwould pose serious challenges.
For this to happen, Player First would have to strike up a relationship withBreaking Bad’s true owner, Sony Pictures Television. Huynh explains “It’s complicated, but I will personally be pushing as hard as I can to make that happen. Everything that happens with third parties in general…there are things that players don’t understand, it’s more complicated and it’s not a super straightforward process.” ConsideringShaggy’s own super-powered appearance inMultiVersuswas originally born out of 2019’s popular Ultra Instinct Shaggy memes, it doesn’t seem like such a big stretch for such a memefied character like Walter White to join the roster at some point in the future as well.
It’s complicated, but I will personally be pushing as hard as I can to make that happen.
MultiVersusis set to relaunch on May 28 with 27 characters, nine stages, and even more planned for the future. With the king of all brawlers,Super Smash Bros Ultimate,being home to a whopping 89 playable characters, it’ll be fascinating to see ifMulitVersuswill approach a number like that over the next several years with the help ofWB’s treasure trove of IP likeHarry Potter,Barbie,Mad Max,The Lord of the Rings, and much more. Even more interesting would be whether Walter White joins the party as well.
