The launch of MultiVersus Season 1 wasn’t really spectacular. If you’ve been playing the game regularly, in fact, there was practically nothing of note to really enjoy when the servers popped back online <\/a>on Monday evening. There was a new battle pass – with a great new Garnet skin in it, I may add – but… not much else.\n<\/p>\n

Morty, from Rick & Morty, will be arriving in the game on August 23<\/a> – he wasn’t part of the roster when the Season kicked off. His abusive, drunk, genius grandfather, Rick, will join the brawl later down the line (no dates have been announced at the time of writing). On top of that, Season 1 promises two new modes – Classic Arcade and Ranked – and new cosmetics, besides. <\/p>\n

But as big, new launches go for games with over 10 million players<\/a>… it’s a bit light, no?

It was a wet whimper, not the explosive bang many were expecting.<\/p>\n
