After being inactive for almost a year, MultiVersus is finally changing from its beta version to the full game with new characters and features.
Player First Games recently announced the official launch times for MultiVersus on May 28. They also shared some details about what players can expect when they log into the Warner Bros. platform fighter.
MultiVersus Launch Trailer Reveals New Characters
Developer Player First Games and publisher Warner Bros. Games have released the launch trailer for their upcoming platform fighter, MultiVersus.
The trailer seems to confirm that Friday the 13th’s Jason Voorhees and The Matrix’s Agent Smith will be joining the game’s roster as new characters. This trailer comes just a few weeks before MultiVersus is set to (re)launch next week.
The trailer shows about two minutes of MultiVersus gameplay with various characters. Towards the end, the Joker, voiced by Mark Hamill, is seen sitting on the Iron Throne from Game of Thrones. Then, unexpectedly, Jason Voorhees and Agent Smith appear next to him, suggesting that they will be part of the launch day roster.
MultiVersus is a free-to-play game and will be available on May 28 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
MultiVersus Release Time
According to their latest update, MultiVersus will be launching on consoles at 4 a.m. PT / 7 a.m. ET, when players can start updating or downloading the game.
However, PC players will need to wait a bit longer until 10 a.m. PT / 1 p.m. ET for their release.
MVPs, Tuesday is the big day! Figured you all want to see a launch plan:

To manage server load and prevent crashes, Player First Games plans to gradually allow users into the game in waves. They will announce each wave on their X/Twitter account before it begins.
This is a smart move considering that the original beta launch of MultiVersus set a record for the most players in a fighting game on Steam, a record it still holds if interest remains high.
At launch, new characters like Batman’s The Joker (voiced by Mark Hamill), Adventure Time’s Banana Guard, and Friday the 13th’s Jason Voorhees will be playable. The Matrix’s Agent Smith will join in Season 1 later.
In addition to new characters, existing ones have been updated with new attacks, and there are new stages, improved netcode, and single-player content in Rifts Mode. Essentially, the game has been completely reworked from its old version.
Players who participated in the beta release of MultiVersus will get the Season 1 premium battle pass for free if they log in by June 11. This includes the premium Gleamium currency and Jason Voorhees as rewards.
It will be interesting to see if MultiVersus can capture the same excitement it did in 2022 and keep players engaged and coming back for more.
