Franchise mash-up brawler MultiVersus slams into season one today, despite only recently being postponed indefinitely.

MultiVersus hasn’t forgotten about Rick And Morty though. Morty’s scheduled to go live on August 23rd, with his gramps Rick popping up later in the season. The new free character rotation with the start of season one is Arya Stark, Batman, LeBron James and Steven Universe, which runs until August 30th.

MultiVersus’s season one battle pass also launches with the start of season one, and has already been confirmed to include 50 tiers and cost around
