MultiVersus players are currently looking forward to the start of the Super Smash Bros.-like fighting game's first season of content. Already confirmed for Season 1 includes the release of Morty from the popular Rick & Morty Cartoon, with Rick to follow later in the season. It seems MultiVersus developer Player First Games is anxious for the start of Season 1, too. The developer recently kicked off a MultiVersus community challenge to unlock a new Rick & Morty stage -- which players completed in just three hours.

On Friday, the official MultiVersus Twitter account issued a challenge to the fighting game's growing community. "Show us what you got," was the thematic challenge. The more specific task was for players across the world to collectively accrue 10 million ring outs. After completing the challenge, Player First Games would unlock the very first post-launch stage release, Cromulons from the Rick & Morty cartoon. Rick & Morty fans will recognize it from Season 2's Get Schwifty episode when Rick and Morty have to perform a musical number to save Earth from the giant floating heads.

Given that MultiVersus players have no real idea how many active players there are across the world, it wasn't immediately clear how quickly the challenge could be completed. It could have been something Player First Games wanted to take a week, to help lead into MultiVersus Season 1. Or it could be something relatively quick, a challenge capitalizing on MultiVersus activity over the weekend.

It didn't take a week, however. It didn't even take the weekend. Instead, MultiVersus players managed to complete the challenge in around three hours. It was done before most MultiVersus players even knew that there was a community challenge ongoing. Some players even asked on social media if the new Cromulons stage was playable by accident.

Clearly, Player First Games knew exactly what it was doing. It has access to all of MultiVersus' data, after all. It would be able to see how many ring outs players were completing each hour, so setting a 10 million ring-out threshold was always intended to lead to Cromulons' quick release. In effect, this was Player First Games' way of giving a gift to MultiVersus players for the weekend.

It's somewhat surprising that Player First Games didn't save the new Rick & Morty stage for release alongside Season 1's start on August 9. On the other hand, it's also exciting to know Player First Games is comfortable releasing new content on a whim. MultiVersus players can now act out one of Rick and Morty's adventures before the characters show up in-game themselves.

MultiVersus is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
