MultiVersus Season 1 and Morty have been delayed
The first season of MultiVersus has been delayed, as has the release of its next playable character.
In a thread posted by the official MultiVersus Twitter account, it was announced that the planned launch of Season 1 on August 9 – and with it the addition of Morty from Rick & Morty as the next playable character – has been held back to an unconfirmed date.
“A big thank you to everyone playing MultiVersus,” reads the statement. “It’s exciting to see so many players enjoying the game and the launch of the Open Beta is just the beginning.
“We want to let everyone know that we are delaying the start of Season 1 and the release of Morty to a later date.
“We know this might be disappointing for some and want to assure our Community that we are dedicated to delivering new and exciting content that delights players.
“We’ll let you know the timing as soon as we can. We appreciate your patience & enthusiasm and look forward to unveiling Season 1 very soon.”
It added: “Due to the Season 1 delay, we will be extending the Pre-Season battle pass till August 15. The end date noted in-game will not change, but the battle pass will continue after August 8 through the 15th.”
