Highlights

MultiVersus is set to reveal something big on Monday, sparking speculation that Jason Voorhees may join as a playable character.
The game has already announced exciting additions like the Joker and Banana Guard becoming a playable fighter.
MultiVersus players are eagerly anticipating more character announcements, with the addition of the Powerpuff Girls expected by players. With Jason's rights recently given back to the first film's screenwriter, there is a lot more potential for Friday The 13th crossovers going forward.

MultiVersus director has teased that the game will make a big announcement on Monday, and part of the community believes it will be Jason Vorhees as a playable character. MultiVersus has been heating up with exciting announcements, preparing players for the game's release on May 28.

One of the most impactful reveals so far has been Joker's inclusion in MultiVersus, reuniting Mark Hamill with the character he voiced in the Batman animated series and the Batman: Arkham games. In an unusual twist, MultiVersus announced the Banana Guard, making the charismatic Adventure Time character, who was previously a stage item, one of the playable fighters. Another novelty was the reveal of the PvE Rift mode, in which MultiVersus will fight bosses and play mini-games. Now, MultiVersus is about to make another exciting announcement within the next few days.

MultiVersus Reveals Huge Combat Changes Coming With the May 2024 Relaunch

As the release date for MultiVersus quickly approaches, the platform fighter receives some major changes to its combat mechanics.

According to MultiVersus director Tony Huynh, a big announcement will take place on Monday, and some players believe that the devs will reveal Jason Voorhees, the iconic antagonist of the Friday the 13th horror franchise. Huynh said "Monday will be insane" when quoting the tweet from the official MultiVersus account saying "They aren't done with character reveals." In the comments to the post made by Redditor TheCarina, several players speculate that it could be the addition of Voorhees to the game, a speculation that has been circulating for some time due to various leaks and teasers that point to the character's inclusion in MultiVersus. One of them, for example, is the "horror" category of the PvE mode.

Why the Timing for Announcing Jason Voorhees in MultiVersus Would Be Huge

In addition to the leaks indicating the inclusion of Jason Voorhees in MultiVersus, the timing of the potential announcement would come at a very suitable moment for Friday the 13th. This week saw the announcement of Jason Universe, a multi-platform expansion of the franchise. The announcement comes years after Victor Miller, the screenwriter of the first film, reclaimed the rights to the original Friday the 13th movie in 2021. As a result, Jason, who was part of the Mortal Kombat X cast, would be even more likely to make his big debut in Warner Bros. Interactive's 2D platform fighting game.

MultiVersus enjoyed significant positive feedback from players who played the beta and entered Super Smash Bros-esque matches between characters from the Warner Bros. library. But while Jason Voorhees is one of the characters awaited by MultiVersus players, he's not the only name on the fans' wish list. The community is also eagerly awaiting the announcement of the Powerpuff Girls in MultiVersus, especially because of the future addition of the Townsville stage to the game.
