'MultiVersus' Kicks Off Season 2, Looney Tunes’ Marvin the Martian And Game of Thrones Themed Map Coming Soon

MultiVersus is an all-new free-to-play, platform fighter that introduces a team-based 2 vs. 2 format combined with an ever-expanding cast of iconic characters and legendary universes.

MultiVersus will showcase a variety of beloved heroes and personalities to team up with or compete against in epic battles, including Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and Harley Quinn (DC); Shaggy and Velma (Scooby-Doo); Bugs Bunny and Tasmanian Devil a.k.a. Taz (Looney Tunes); Arya Stark (Game of Thrones); Tom & Jerry (Tom and Jerry); Jake the Dog and Finn the Human (Adventure Time); Steven Universe and Garnet (Steven Universe); Iron Giant (The Iron Giant); LeBron James (Space Jam: A New Legacy); Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith (Rick and Morty); an extraordinary original creature named Reindog; and many more to come.

Featuring matches with a strong emphasis on online cooperative gameplay, every fighter will be outfitted with a deep set of combat mechanics that distinguish the game’s fresh take on 2 vs. 2 gameplay. This allows combatants to boast customizable movesets that combine dynamically with other characters as they battle for supremacy. From Wonder Woman and her Lasso of Truth attack being unexpectedly paired with Shaggy and his sandwich projectile, to Arya Stark’s face-swapping ability being used to complement Superman’s laser vision, the impossible can become possible through surprising team combinations and matchups. The game’s fun filled multiplayer bouts can be set against the backdrop of various reimagined environments from awe-inspiring worlds, such as Batman’s Batcave, Jake and Finn’s Tree Fort and many others. MultiVersus will also include intense 1 vs. 1 clashes and a 4-player free-for-all mode where only one fighter can come out on top.

Additionally, MultiVersus will feature an all-star cast of talent lending their voices to the game, including Kevin Conroy (Batman: The Animated Series, Batman: Arkham series) as Batman, George Newbern (Justice League vs. the Fatal Five, Injustice 2) as Superman, Abby Trott (Carmen Sandiego) as Wonder Woman, Tara Strong (Batman Ninja, Batman: Arkham series) as Harley Quinn, Matthew Lillard (Scooby-Doo) as Shaggy, Eric Bauza (Looney Tunes Cartoons) as Bugs Bunny and Tom and Jerry, Maisie Williams (Game of Thrones) as Arya Stark, John DiMaggio (Adventure Time) as Jake the Dog, Jeremy Shada (Adventure Time) as Finn the Human, Daniel DiVenere (Spirit Riding Free) as Steven Universe, Estelle (Steven Universe) as Garnet and Andrew Frankel (Jellystone) as Reindog.


Warner Bros. Games announced the start of Season 2 for MultiVersus, which will feature the addition of Marvin the Martian as an upcoming playable character.

Hailing from the planet Mars, the well-mannered Looney Tunes villain will be equipped with his Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator explosive device, powerful blaster and spaceship summoning abilities.

The new season will also include an upcoming Game of Thrones map that will allow players to hurl opponents away from the Iron Throne, along with Westeros based hazards and a remix of the iconic theme music.

Release timing for Marvin the Martian and the Game of Thrones map will be announced at a later date.

The Season 2 Battle Pass is available now and includes a variety of free items for all players to earn, such as the Baker Street Tom & Jerry character variant (Tom and Jerry), Tea Time Reindog variant and Pixel Finn (Adventure Time) profile icon. Players who unlock the premium Battle Pass for Season 2 can earn even more rewards, including the Astronaut Velma (Scooby-Doo) variant, Maestro Bugs (Looney Tunes) variant and Arya Yawn (Game of Thrones) taunt.

Both the free and premium Battle Pass paths include 50 tiers of rewards to earn. Also available starting today for in-game purchase are the Samurai Batman (DC), Evil Morty (Rick and Morty) and Fern Finn (Adventure Time) character variants.

Additionally, the MultiVersus Fall Showdown, a 2 vs. 2 online tournament series featuring a $60,000 prize pool, will host its North America East, North America West and Europe finals this weekend on Nov. 20.

Furthermore, MultiVersus will be part of the 80th anniversary activities for Tweety, the beloved Looney Tunes character. On Nov. 21, a special Happy Birday, Tweety ringout will be available as a free item for all players.

Players can also gain Early Access to the Open Beta by purchasing a MultiVersus Founder’s Pack, which includes different levels of in-game content via the Standard, Deluxe, and Premium Editions.
