MultiVersus released in early access in July 2022, and gamers have been anticipating the launch of the first Battle Pass for the game. After much anticipation, developers of MultiVersus, Player First Games, have officially revealed what the Battle Pass will contain and how players can obtain the items in it. It has also been revealed what rewards will be free and what rewards will require players to spend some extra money.
MultiVersus is a free-to-play platform fighting game that is reminiscent of the popular Super Smash Bros. series from Nintendo. The game is a massive crossover that features characters from all sorts of Warner Brothers Discovery properties, like Bugs Bunny, Arya Stark from Game of Thrones, and Batman. The roster currently features 17 characters, with more confirmed characters coming soon to MultiVersus. After numerous leaks and speculation, the content of the season 1 Battle Pass has been confirmed.
Confirmed by the developers on the game's official website, the season 1 Battle Pass will feature new characters, cosmetics, stickers, and more. There will be two different versions of the Battle Pass: a free one available to progress through for all players and a paid Premium Battle Pass, which will contain more rewards than the free one. New characters confirmed to be in the Battle Pass are Rick and Morty (as two different characters) from Rick and Morty, Stripe from Gremlins, and Marvel anti-hero Black Adam. There will also be other goodies like gold, ex boosts, unique badges, icons, and stickers. All of those things can be obtained for free just by playing MultiVersus.
The Premium Battle Pass will feature new cosmetics, new ringouts, new taunts, and everything from the free version. Additionally, if players buy the Premium Battle Pass, they will immediately unlock the "Toon Squad '96" Taz variant. The post on the game's website also goes on to detail how the developers are categorizing cosmetics in MultiVersus. "You’ll probably notice that our cosmetics are categorized into different rarities ranging from uncommon to rare to epic and finally to legendary. The tiers of these cosmetics are determined by the unique features of the items and the visual effects that accompany them." The post ends with the developers encouraging players to "start progressing through that Battle Pass today and get those limited-time rewards."
The season 1 Battle Pass is out now for players to progress through, and the season will end on November 15, 2022, giving players plenty of time to earn all the rewards. While some Battle Passes are continuous and all rewards can be earned even after a season ends, like Halo: Infinite, it seems Player First Games has made the choice to make the rewards in the Battle Passes only obtainable within a specific time frame (at least for now). While that may frustrate some players, it appears to be reasonably priced with a generous timeframe to progress through the entire season 1 Battle Pass.
MultiVersus is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
