This news comes fromMultiVersus’official Twitter account, where the developers posted a series of three tweets explaining the situation. First, there’s a big thank you to all the players currently enjoying the platform fighter. Then, underneath that tweet, the account informs fans that the Season 1 battle pass and the release ofRick and Morty’sMorty as a playable characteris being pushed back to a “later date.“MultiVersusacknowledges this news will be disappointing to some but assures the community that it will deliver content that “delights players.”
There is a general vagueness to the nature of these tweets, with no reason being given for the delay ofMultiVersus’first season or when it can be expected to drop. Considering the information shared recently about the battle pass byMultiVersus’game director, it seems as though the first season was set for release. Some fans online believe that Morty isn’t yet as polished as he could be, leading to the development team deciding that he needed more work. Without any official reasoning given by Player First Games, fans will only be able to speculate until an official explanation is given.
Alongside the release of new characters and a proper battle pass toMultiVersus, fans are also looking forward to some key changes being made to certain characters. As the meta has evolved inMultiVersus’open beta, players have been finding out which fighters are overpowered. Bugs Bunny and Finn fromAdventure Timehave particularly been picked out by users as twocharacters inMultiVersusthat need a nerf.
