MultiVersus just got a cool addition to its roster. Rick Sanchez from Rick and Morty is now available as a new mage character. The patch also adds new skins, namely, Chef Reindog and Tiger Millionaire Steven. A Golden Reindog skin is added as well, but can only be purchased with gold.
The intro tutorial now features attack decay steps, and the loading performance on both PS4 and Xbox One is improved. The patch also doubled the XP required to reach levels three to 15 on character mastery. The rest of the changes are mentioned below.
General
- We were finding that players could get to level 15 of the mastery track too quickly. This is to help us make it a bit more of a journey.
- Initial free character from completing the intro tutorial has been switched to Shaggy from Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman can now be purchased for Gold or Gleamium.
- Fixed an issue in Coop-Versus-AI that was causing only Wonder Woman and Reindog bots to appear.
- Fixed a bug where some players weren’t able to equip profile icons.
- Fixed a bug where the game would occasionally freeze at the end-of-game screen.
Twitch Extension
- Minor visual bug fixes
- Added Fighter Voting which allows broadcasters to poll their audience on which fighter to play, viewers who have MultiVersus get bonus votes.
- Added the ability for viewers who have MultiVersus to claim free toasts from Twitch channels running the extension.
Gameplay Systems
Anti-Infinite Combo System
- We’ve implemented a new anti-infinite-combo system that will decay all subsequent attacks if the same attack has been used 4 or more times in the same true combo. The goal is to put a global soft-cap on infinite combos and make combos more creative. We hope the change pushes players to explore new and more exciting combo routes.
- We were considering the max number of the same attack being used to be 3, but we wanted to more slowly evaluate the change. We’re going to be evaluating the change and are open to feedback on how we can improve the system!
- The option to choose between 4 direction or 8 direction for the right-stick control (c-stick) has been added to the settings menu.
Projectile Systems
- We are continuing the projectile systems update in this patch. The most notable addition is the inclusion of a new “Light Projectile” classification for projectiles that deal no knockback. The only Light Projectiles in the game for now are Rick’s uncharged blaster and the pies fired by the Neptr assist item.
The patch also brought a ton of balancing changes, which you can read in great detail via the official site.
