MultiVersus developer Player First Games and publisher Warner Bros. Games have revealed Friday the 13th’s Jason Voorhees and The Matrix Trilogy’s Agent Smith as playable characters with the release of the game’s official launch trailer this week.
Player First Games and WB are re-launching the free-to-play crossover platform fighter early next week on May 28 after fully remaking the game in Unreal Engine 5. The game will feature improved production values and lighting on the visual side. On the networking side, players will be happy to know that the studio has improved the game’s netcode this time around, with its game director Tony Huynh assuring players that the game will now offer a much more consistent experience across platforms.
The game’s existing roster will also see the addition of new moves and mechanics and the studio even hinted at some new maps recently such as The Powerpuff Girls’ Townsville and Dexter’s Laboratory.
A recently released dev diary also revealed the game’s PvE Rifts mode, allowing players to participate in a sort of campaign that is ever changing in themes and content, built to be seasonal, as one might expect in a live service title.. These campaigns offer everything from combat, mini-games, platforming and more.
