It is no secret thatMultiVersushas a unique and somewhat wacky roster. Combining characters from shows, movies, and games owned by Warner Bros.,MultiVersushas a whole host of characters a gamer wouldn’t necessarily expect to be fighting with or against each other. To have Tom and Jerry taking onUltra Instinct Shaggy inMultiVersusis something that people wouldn’t be able to experience in another title without some serious modding. Even with 17 characters currently available in the game,MultiVersusfans are constantly on the lookout for new additions to the roster.Recently,MultiVersus’game director took to Twitter to tell fans when they might be getting the next look at some new characters for the game. According to Tony Huynh, fans could expect to see somenewMultiVersusfighters teasedin the login screen at the launch of the first season. However, while this login screen will be seen by all fans on August 15, some have spotted it early and revealed the new characters that will be coming toMultiVersus.RELATED:MultiVersus Hints at Surprise Upcoming FighterThe new additions toMultiVersus’roster are Stripe from theGremlinsfranchise and Black Adam from DC Comics. Considering Dwayne Johnson has hisBlack Adammovie set for release in October, it makes sense that the anti-hero would be added to the incredibly popularMultiVersusaround then or potentially before the film’s release. Stripe makes a little less immediate sense, but fans had spotted that aGremlinscharacter coming toMultiVersusin previous leaks for the game, so it isn’t a wholly unexpected addition.
Some were hoping that Gizmo would be the character fromGremlinsmaking an appearance, with a datamine even suggesting that would be the case. It is still possible that Gizmo could appear inMultiVersus, but perhaps as a cosmetic skin for Stripe rather than an entirely different character. Currently, there’s no news on when these characters could be available to play or how they will be unlocked. Considering the hype aroundMultiVersus’new battle pass, it is possible these characters could be added as later rewards for it.
It is also possible that they will simply be added naturally to be purchased with gold or Gleamium at a later date. For now, fans already have another pair of characters to look forward to with theaddition of Rick and Morty toMultiVersus. With Morty coming next week and Rick likely to be added soon after, fans will have to wait until those releases have taken place before they can anticipate Black Adam and Stripe dropping.
MultiVersusis available now in Open Beta on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
