MultiVersus Teases New Character for Next Week

gamerant.com:

MultiVersus has teased the latest addition to its roster and it seems all but confirmed that Stripe from Gremlins will be joining the fight next week. The platform fighter has seen a lot of success since it launched in open beta this summer, and millions of players have picked up the free-to-play title from Player First Games. While the fighter has strong core mechanics and interesting features to set it apart from the likes of Super Smash Bros., a lot of what attracts players to MultiVersus is its wacky roster.

From Shaggy to Steven Universe, a MultiVersus player essentially lives out the childhood dream by picking two characters from random IPs and learning who would win in a fight. With a lot of Warner Bros. IPs to choose from, Player First Games has consistently been adding new fighters to MultiVersus alongside some big updates. Most recently, Rick finally made his way to MultiVersus after Morty had joined over a month prior.

Now, it seems that MultiVersus is gearing up for yet another character to join the roster. In a teaser posted to the game's Twitter, some MultiVersus gameplay can be seen projected onto a wall. Shadows begin to dart in front of the screen, and it quickly appears that the POV character is surrounded by Gremlins. The tweet also mentions that next week will get «a bit chaotic,» implying that whatever change is coming will be on its way soon. Many fans have taken this to mean that Stripe will be joining MultiVersus, following his tease at the start of Season 1.

Stripe is the primary antagonist of the first Gremlins movie and basically acts as the evil antithesis to Gizmo, who is already playable in MultiVersus. Stripe's addition was further teased in an earlier tweet
