Like other platform fighters such asSuper Smash Bros. UltimateandNickolodeon All-Star Brawl,MultiVersushas a roster with plenty of crossover potential. Combining characters from all of Warner Bros' IPs,MultiVersusalready has a wacky rosterso far, even with only 16 being available so far. However, with so many potential fighters that could be added toMultiVersus, fans are often speculating on what new characters will be brought to the game next.
WhenMultiVersusentered its closed alpha, some dataminers had already managed to find out which fighters would be coming next from the game files. When LeBron James, one of the leaked characters, was recently announced forMultiVersusand made playable, it seemed to confirm that other fighters from the same leak would eventually be coming to the game as well. Both Rick and Morty fromRick and Mortyare supposedly making an appearance next, and with the introduction of a stage based on the show, it seems all but confirmed that they will be playable soon.

For someMultiVersusplayers, it seems Rick may already be playable, as one Reddit user managed to screenshot the moment their opponent selected Rick as their fighter. Not only had they managed to get a hold of a character not yet officially released, but they had also managed to equip a Pickle Rick skin. It was expected that the iconic Pickle Rick skin would make its way toMultiVersus, but apart from the confirmation that the skin and character exist somewhere in the games files, the leak from user BluesArrived on Reddit doesn’t give information on how Rick will play.
According to the comments under BluesArrived’s post, it seems that seeing a character not yet released inMultiVersusisn’t as uncommon as one might think. With the game now being in open beta, plenty of players have access toMultiVersus’files, meaning that because Rick has been in the game since the closed beta, he is technically accessible to anyone with theMultiVersusclient. While this likely meansRick and Morty will release soon, just because they are being found inMultiVersus’matchmaking does not mean they yet have the polish on their animations, moves, and voice lines to consider them fully playable.
Currently, it seems best for fans not to access Rick before he is fully finished because, while the character appears near completion, a proper release will feature the fighter as intended by the developers. Alongside the addition of Rick and Morty, more characters have been reportedly revealed vialeaks fromMultiVersus’files, including the Hound fromGame of Thronesand Raven fromTeen Titans.
MultiVersusis available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
