The villains from The Matrix and Friday the 13th join the MultiVersus roster
The MultiVersus The roster is expanded again, this time with two big baddies: Jason Voorhees from the Friday the 13th horror franchise and Agent Smith from the Matrix films. These two villains will join a pair of recently confirmed additions to MultiVersus: the Joker and Adventure Time‘s Banana Guard.
Developer Player First Games and Warner Bros. Games have confirmed Jason and Agent Smith in a new cinematic trailer showcasing the upcoming relaunch of MultiVersus. And if you comb through Monday’s new one MultiVersus trailer, you might be able to tease a few more unannounced characters. At one point (about 50 seconds later) we see Bugs Bunny entering the Warner Bros. water tower. breaking open, from which a few props escape. These items appear to be Aquaman’s trident, Samurai Jack’s katana and Octi, Bubbles’ beloved plush octopus The Powerpuff Girls. There is also a broomstick, which could belong to the Wicked Witch of the West The Wizard of Oz or anyone from the Harry Potter franchise.
There are also background references to DC superheroes Green Lantern, Robin in his Teen Titans go! form, and Raven, although it is unclear whether these are teases or just stage clothes.
Player First and WB seem to be leaning towards villains for the debut season MultiVersus‘ relaunch, of which season 1 is titled Puns & Villainy. So if you’re expecting new additions in the coming weeks and months, think supervillains.
MultiVersus returns on May 28, with new additions Joker, Jason Voorhees and Banana Guard available at launch, and Agent Smith coming sometime later in Season 1. They will join existing characters from the trailer: Wonder Woman; Velma; Bugs Bunny; Marvin the Martian; Iron Giant; Rick Sanchez (who apparently knows Batman’s secret identity); Stripe from Gremlins; Finn the human; and Cake the Cat, a variant of Adventure Timeis Jake the Dog.
WB’s free-to-play fighting game will be available again next week for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One and Xbox Series MultiVersus‘ adopt a PvE mode.
