It’s been a reasonably bumpy street, however lastly we have now a strong launch date for the primary correct season of Multiversus: August 15.

An announcement from the sport’s official account over on Twitter confirmed the brand new launch date for the multiplatform, Smash-like combating sport, and famous that the subsequent character – the eponymous Morty from Rick and Morty – can be out there from August 23.

“We’re excited to announce Season 1 will begin on August 15 with a brand-new Battle Pass for you to earn in-game rewards!” says a tweet saying the brand new date. “We can also confirm Morty will join the character roster on August 23 as part of Season 1. We look forward to sharing more in the coming weeks!”

Don’t anticipate new modes and new content material proper off the bat, although; that is all coming slightly bit later, as new parts of the sport can be added all through the primary season.

“Quick Note: Everything we are bringing to you in Season 1 will not drop on the same day,” says a follow-up tweet. “New modes and content will be spread through the life of the Season. We’ll continue to share dates on all the fun things to come!” That signifies that huge modifications, like the overhaul concentrating on the hitbox and hurtbox system, might drop mid-Season and never essentially proper in the beginning.
