The game that is in style and has hundreds of thousands of users every day will be updated this afternoon to kick off the long-awaited Season 1. Starting at 1:00 pm ET, we will experience a radical change in MultiVersus, which will mark the future of the title. While we wait for the long-awaited moment, we take a look at all the changes and new features.
MultiVersus Season 1: all the new features
One of the main highlights of Season 1 is the inclusion of a new character: Morty, (yes, the one from Rick and Morty, as it is evident), but for that, we will have to wait until August 23rd. The important thing to look forward to in this afternoon's update is the multitude of changes and adjustments to the gameplay, characters and game modes.
New free characters entering the rotation
MultiVersus is committed to a system designed so that we can try out all the characters. Depending on the moment, some of them appear for free or for a fee. And today's new rotation includes the following: Batman, Arya, Steven and LeBron James.
Changes to the interface, rewards and gameplay
- The characters that enter the rotation are distinguished by a unique icon.
- Seasonal quests have reduced requirements to complete them.
