MultiVersus has delayed the release date for new fighter Gizmo from the Gremlins franchise, who was originally set to join the roster on Tuesday, September 6. Previous leaks suggested that MultiVersus would be adding Gizmo from Gremlins, and it's since been confirmed by developer Player First Games that Gizmo is indeed coming to the game, though fans will have to wait a bit longer than expected.
MultiVersus started teasing Gizmo's addition to the game about a week ago, and this took many fans by surprise. After all, MultiVersus had already confirmed Stripe from Gremlins for the game, so many assumed that would be it for the horror comedy franchise's representation. Stripe is still without a release date, but MultiVersus fans can look forward to playing as Gizmo starting Thursday, September 8, assuming there are no more delays.
The developers made this announcement on official MultiVersus social media, sharing a brief video of Gizmo along with the news. The original Gizmo teaser trailer showed the fluffy critter peeking its head out of a box, and it seems Gizmo will be spending a lot more time in the box, if the video is any indication. Though brief, the video shows gameplay of Gizmo still in the box, shaking, with a golden aura around him.
Gizmo will be the second new MultiVersus character for Season 1, right after Morty from Rick and Morty, who joined the roster last month. Besides Gizmo and Morty, developer Player First Games has confirmed at least three other characters that will be joining the MultiVersus roster in Season 1 in the form of Black Adam from DC Comics, Stripe from Gremlins, and Rick Sanchez from Rick and Morty. Unlike Gizmo, none of these other characters have release dates at the time of this writing.
Besides new characters, developer Player First Games is also gearing up to add new game modes to the crossover fighter. Again, these new modes still lack release dates, but at some point during Season 1, MultiVersus will be adding Arcade and Ranked modes.
MultiVersus Season 1 is scheduled to last until November 15, so this new content can come at any time within the next few months. It's likely that the updates will be spread out, and there's always a chance new content could be delayed, as we've already seen with the Arcade and Ranked modes and now Gizmo. Fans of the crossover fighting game will just have to be patient while they wait for more info on when this will be available.
MultiVersus is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
