MultiVersus' Open Beta is now available in Early Access, available to anyone willing to watch a stream for 60 minutes and earn a Twitch Drop. The Super Smash Bros.-like fighting game's pitch is that it's free-to-play and will be robustly supported with new content like other major live-service games. There's no better time to show that than MultiVersus' upcoming Open Beta launch and the start of Season 1. With that in mind, three new MultiVersus characters, including LeBron James, Rick, and Morty, have been announced for release soon.

San Diego Comic-Con is currently ongoing and Warner Bros. brought a MultiVersus panel to the convention this year. During the convention, WB and developer Player First Games confirmed the next three characters coming to the game. First will be LeBron James, associated through his starring role in Space Jam: A New Legacy. After LeBron James, Morty Smith of Rick and Morty will be released, followed by Rick Sanchez.
