MultiVersus is doing very well for itself in its pre-season open beta, but what fans are really waiting for is Season 1. This first major update to the free-to-play platform fighter will mark its true launch, and we already know that Rick and Morty are joining the roster as part of that. During Evo 2022, developer Player First Games has revealed more about Season 1, and it looks packed:
As you can see from the above image, new characters aren't the only thing Season 1 will introduce. It's now confirmed the game will be getting a "classic arcade mode", which we take to mean single-player battles vs bots in a string of increasingly tough matches. That's not all: we'll also be getting ranked mode, so those who take MultiVersus more seriously can duke it out more competitively. Then, of course, there's the promise of new cosmetic items, and we can already see plenty of new variants and other bits and pieces in the graphic. We know the Battle Pass will have 50 tiers of unlocks, so that's no surprise.
It's pretty exciting to see what's coming in the near future. Season 1 was recently delayed, with no firm date in place right now. The current pre-season Battle Pass has been extended to the 15th August, though, so in theory, Season 1 won't be too far behind that date.
Lots to look forward to, anyway. Are you excited for MultiVersus Season 1? Prepare yourselves in the comments section below.

I was hoping they'd announce more characters last night, shame. Hopefully they give out good rewards for doing arcade mode.
Oh wow that's... a lot lol.
Smash finally has a fierce competitor.
Temtem could've been the pokemon competitor but they said they are not adding more monsters (epic fail).
I just dislike how some Nintendo fans think nobody can make a similar game to one of Nintendo's original IP and Nintendo should be the only ones doing those "genres" and everything else is a cheap rip off. It's finally good to see they're getting knock off their arses.
Watching Mightykeef video shows you how they're acting atm.
Super cool to see the game get a arcade mode. The game is sitting on my PS5 I just need to give it a go.
Arcade mode!?
@CapGod Nintendo fans have always been weird about the "Smash Bros" concept. I mean I get it, Smash Bros is an absolutely fantastic game. Doesn't mean someone else can't have a crack at the format, though!
@get2sammyb It's why that despite wanting a PS Allstars sequel so much, I also don't want it to be a platform fighter because you'll get the Nintendrones and media like IGN claiming it just "SmAsH bRoS cLoNe" and "WhO cArEs AbOuT pLaYsTaTiOn ChArAcTeRs" that just takes away from the general hype like last time.
This game is legit, and I expect it’ll be here to stay for a while yet.
Feels like the first true rival to Smash Bros in the platform fighter genre.
@get2sammyb
That and pokemon are the two IPs they're really annoying about
@AdamNovice Yeah it was especially tedious with PS AllStars, although I expect MultiVersus to be in the crosshairs hard soon given how popular it's become.
Looks great! The tournament was fun to watch although they definitely have some kinks to work in the format to keep things moving as there was way too mich down time between matches. Still MultiVersus had a great first EVO and I'm looking forward to season 1 since I just finished completing the preseason battle pass last night.
@CapGod
That always annoyed me as well. Smash is great but a little competition never hurt anyone. After all by their logic SF should be the only 2D fighter ever made which is just a really dumb stance to take!
@Korgon
Or Doom should have been the only fps.
Have been enjoying this a lot with mates, just a shame that with more than 2 players (ie. 3 and a bot, or 2 v 2 online custom matches) and it doesn't award any of the in game currency, so playing with 3 other friends feels redundant as you can't unlock any characters or upgrades!
@CapGod funny how they act Asif botw was the first ever open world game & every other one is a clone except the new Pokémon thats supposed to be open world that will 10/10 goty never been done before goat lol
@Would_you_kindly
Exactly. Nintendo stopped making new things after Gamecube.
