MultiVersus studio Player First Games has shed some light on how Gremlins character Gizmo will play when he’s added to the game on Thursday.
According to a post on the game’s official Twitter account, Gizmo will be a support character who specialises in helping his partner during a fight.
Gizmo is armed with his bow from Gremlins 2, which allows him to charge and fire arrow projectiles. If one is fully charged, the arrow will ignite,
He also has a move called Song of the Mogwai, which spawns musical note projectiles and damages nearby enemies.
His key technique, however, is his Gizmo A-Go-Go move, which sees him jumping onto his partner and clinging to their back.
When asked by a Twitter follower exactly what this accomplishes, the studio replied that it has numerous benefits.
Gizmo “cleanses allies”, according to the account, which means he removes any debuffs that character has. While on their back he can also continue to sing and use his bow, and will also take a percentage of the damage his partner takes.
Gizmo’s song notes also ‘silence’ enemies and give a buff to allies, though it’s not clear yet how exactly this will play out in the game.
Gizmo was supposed to be added to the game on Tuesday, but this was delayed to Thursday, September 8, with Player First Games saying it needed “a few more days to coerce him out of his box”.
