Rick Sanchez is coming soon to MultiVersus, new trailer confirms

gamepur.com:

MultiVersus shared its first footage that features Rick Sanchez from Rick and Morty. It’s the first time players get a taste of what Rick will look like in the game. The new trailer confirms Rick is the next character joining the roster, proceeding Gizmo from Gremlins and his grandson/partner Morty. Rick has been a highly requested character for MultiVersus, with multiple leaks and datamines pointing to the drunk scientist making an appearance in the game. No specific release date was given for Rick, but players can expect him soon.

The short teaser trailer shows Wonder Woman chasing after MultiVersus’s original character Reindog. Reindog tries shooting projectiles at Wonder Woman, but Rick’s signature green portal blocks the shots. Then several Mr. Meeseeks step out of the teleporter to charge at Reindog. The footage ends with Rick stepping out of the portal, the first good look at how he will appear within the game.
