They have an interesting alliance with the Joker.
MultiVersus announced the addition of the scary slasher Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th and the notorious villain Agent Smith from The Matrix to its stacked roster via the launch trailer.
The announcement arrived one week ahead of MultiVersus' much-anticipated full launch on May 28. The free-to-play fighting game developed by Player First Games and published by Warner Bros. Games left everyone hyped after the open beta phase between July 2022 and June 2023. Now, fans know they'll have two more villains to play with.
While Jason is available at launch, Agent Smith will join the MultiVersus roster later in the first season.
