Gizmo and/or Stripe from Gremlins are coming to MultiVersus next week
videogameschronicle.comMultiVersus will be getting at least one Gremlins character next week.
A new teaser video posted on the game’s official Twitter account says: “We’ve got a little, fluffy surprise headed your way on Tuesday”.
The video then shows the box from the movie Gremlins which containted Gizmo, the Mogwai that kicks off the movie’s chain of events.
Gizmo’s hand then comes out of the box and the video ends.
It has already been known since the game’s first season launched that Stripe, the main antagonist from Gremlins, will be added to the cast at some point between now and the season ending in November.
However, Gizmo had never been officially confirmed, only listed in a previous leak.
Speculation among the MultiVersus fan base was that Gizmo may be an alternative skin for Stripe, in the same way that Uncle Shagworthy is an alternative skin for Shaggy and is essentially a different character with new voice acting.
However, in the past 30 minutes (at the time of writing) game director Tony Huynh has just tweeted that “Gizmo and Stripe are two separate characters”, not only disproving that theory but also seemingly officially confirming Gizmo for the first time.
When asked by a follower if they were considered “echo fighters” with similar movesets, Huynh replied: “No, completely different characters.”

If it’s the latter, the teaser trailer suggests that Gizmo is likely to be the first character to be added.
