Summary
MultiVersusdataminers have already managed to find a ton of evidence that suggests that Daffy Duck, Samurai Jack, Pickle Rick, Beetlejuice, and more are coming to the game.
It’s been a long time coming but, after a whole year away,MultiVersus finally relaunched earlier this week, bringing it with it some new game modes, cosmetics, mechanics, and, most importantly, new fighters.Although the reception to the relaunch has been a little mixed so farsince there are only a few new characters to play as, it looks like there are already a lot more planned for the near future.
Before we dive into the MultiVersus datamines and leaks, it’s worth noting that they should still be taken with a grain of salt.While some have been heavily teased by the devsand are seemingly in a near-finished state, previous MultiVersus leaks haven’t always panned out and it shouldn’t be taken as a confirmation. Just look at Static Shock andStranger Things' Eleven.
MultiVersus Datamines Gives Us A Good Idea Of Who’s Joining The Roster
Let’s start off with some obvious character picks that appear to be happening in the near future. The Powerpuff Girls, who were hinted at in Joker’s trailer,have a ton of voice lines already in the game files. Those voice lines, which were shared by YouTuber easternunit200, suggest that they’ll fight in a group of three that’s swapped out kind of like the Pokemon Trainer in Smash.
Another Cartoon Network icon who appears to be nearly finished is Samurai Jack, whose entire moveset was leaked by a reliable insider alongside his voice lines. Jack appears to have the ability to throw opponents, and is believed to be one of the next fighters to join the game. He’s also voiced by Phil Lamarr, who is also playinganother character whose voicelines have leaked - Aquaman.
More recent datamines have revealed thatBeetlejuice and The Wicked Witch are still coming at some point in MultiVersus' lifetime, as the two characters have even more voice lines and interactions than they did before the relaunch. Nubia, who is believed to be a premium costume for Wonder Woman,also had her voicelines leakedalongsidePickle Rick, who is believed to be his own fighter now.
Pickle Rick far and away has the best voice lines in the game so far and even makes fun of MultiVersus' lack of plot and microtransactions.
MultiVersus Datamines Also Include Some Brand New Fighters
Pickle Rick’s voicelines also suggest that RWBY’s Ruby Rosewill be a playable character in MultiVersus at some point, as he’s seen making references to anime, dust, and her unique scythe.Rick also directly references Marcelineand says that she’ll be coming to the game soon, seemingly with a music buffing ability.
The most exciting character that’s beensuggested to be in the game thanks to dataminers, however, is Daffy Duck. Just a few days after the relaunch,reliable leaker AusilMV shared since-deleted videosof a model of Shaggy codenamed “Seasons” performing actions that were clearly linked to Daffy Duck.
To make things even more interesting, the animations that were used in the tweet seem to be very close to what Sonicpox pitched before he was hired by Player First Games and started working on MultiVersus.It seems his excellent pitch might become the basisfor the character’s actual release.
