A promising open beta for the WB fighter turned sour after servers were unexpectedly taken down. Will the upcoming re-launch bring players back?
As of the time of writing, no release dates have been given for either Jason Voorhees or Agent Smith for MultiVersus. Recent speculation by YouTuberPapaGenosmakes us believe that the Friday the 13th villain takes the last slot for MultiVersus' launch as his name fits within a showcased roster image with blanks in it.
Other MultiVersus Characters Have Been Teased
WB Games and Player First Games have been going all out with their marketing over the past few weeks. Last week, the Joker’s gameplay trailer teasedThe Powerpuff Girlson the Batcomputer. To some fans' dismay, they were not showcased during the launch trailer. They’ll likely be characters later on in development. Additionally, Dexter’s Laboratory will be a stage, leading to the idea that the boy scientist could join the roster.
This week’s launch trailer also hints that the Animaniacs may be involved as characters, as balloons for Pinky & The Brain emerge in the background at the beginning of the video. The Warner Bros. Water Tower, which these cartoon characters are synonymous with duringthe intro of their show, is also shown during the introductory battle between Bugs and Finn.
WB Games has confirmed that a joke character will be joining the likes of The Joker and likely Jason Voorhees on May 28: the Banana Guard. Using a spear, this side character from the Adventure Time series will be battling Wonder Woman, The Iron Giant, and Shaggy in a comedic fashion.
