MultiVersus Season 1 will add Arcade mode, Ranked battle and more

The first season was due to launch next week before being delayed until later in the month

Warner Bros has revealed some of the content coming to the first season of Multiversus, including an Arcade mode.

Revealed as part of Evo, the first season of content, which was recently delayed, will add ranked battle, Arcade mode, new cosmetics and new characters.

Rick and Morty, from the show of the same name, have been confirmed, and according to the image released by Warner Bros, LeBron James will receive a costume based on Robin from Batman.

Warner Bros Games had previously announced that Season 1 would be starting on August 9, and on the same day Morty would be arriving as the game’s 18th playable character.

It also announced that his animated partner Rick would also be joining the roster at some point during Season 1’s run.

However, following the delay, Warner has yet to confirm when the new season of content for it’s surprise-hit fighter would arrive.

This delay will seemingly do nothing to change the order in which these characters are released, though it does clearly make the wait longer for fans of Rick & Morty, not to mention MultiVersus players who have already finished the Preseason Battle Pass and are waiting for Season 1 to start.

Last week, MultiVersus game director Tony Huynh confirmed that the MultiVersus Season 1 Battle Pass will include 50 tiers and will cost in the region of $10 / £8.

The current Preseason Battle Pass – which was only due to run for two weeks until today’s announced delay – includes 15 tiers of character skins, profile icons, XP, coins, and other cosmetics.

Like many Battle Passes in other games, it includes a free option with earnable rewards available to all players, and a paid premium version offering access to different ‘exclusive’ cosmetics (though Warner Bros Games has suggested there “may be opportunities” to unlock them through other means in the future).
