Summary
Inside the launch trailer forMultiversus, the platform fighter showcases the chaotic battles between Warner Bros IPs and confirms two additional fighters in Jason Voorhees and Agent Smith. After taking the game down last year, it’s been a busy couple of months for Player First Games as the studio not only prepared to relaunchMultiversusfor its release on May 28, but to get fans excited about the game’s anticipated return.
To get the fanbase excited about the platform fighter’s return, the studio has made plenty of announcements showcasing what has changed and improved over these past few months, as well as revealing new content coming like the PvE mode known as Rifts. New characters have also been confirmed, includingMark Hamill’s return as The Joker, introduced through a clever trailer that also showed off some of his alternative skins, while teasing more characters like The Powerpuff Girls. However, theMultiversuslaunch trailer has finally arrived and with it comes a couple of additional surprises for fans.
While much of the launch trailer showed various characters fighting, like Cake and Marvin the Martian or Bugs and Velma, the big announcements came towards the end, which fans likely anticipated after gettingteased byMutliversusgame director Tony Huynh. As the cast confronted Joker sitting on the Iron Throne. The Joker seemingly calls for backup and the hulking Jason Voorhees, from the horror franchise Friday the 13th, and Agent Smith fromThe Matrix, appear alongside him ready to fight. The duo also make their appearance within the cast roster displayed at the end, though Player First has recently confirmed that Jason will be available at launch, while Agent Smith is planning to arrive later in the season.
While the reveals of Jason and Agent Smith are some of the biggest reveals inside the launch trailer, fans have continued to pour over the video in the hopes of gleaning any additional secrets. While theMultiversustrailer surprisingly doesn’t reveal the often rumored Powerpuff Girls, it does hold plenty of references to other WB properties, which may or may not tease a future appearance. For example, floating balloons of Pinky and The Brain can be seen near the start of the trailer, the mystic lantern of Green Lantern is in the background during the Wonder woman fight, and a billboard showcases Talking Dog who made appearances in episodes of The Powerpuff Girls.
