MultiVersus has announced the Banana Guard as the newest playable character. As well as revealing the addition of the charismatic Adventure Time character to the game's cast, MultiVersus revealed that the character will be voiced by Austen Moret, who has other notable works such as Unicorn Overlord, Mobile Legends Bang Bang, and WWE 2K24.

MultiVersus became real in 2021, when it was announced a Super Smash Bros. clone starring numerous characters from Warner Bros. properties, such as Looney Tunes and Steven Universe. After the beta was held between 2022 and 2023, MultiVersus surprised players by announcing that it would go offline and return at a later date. Now, MultiVersus' full launch is getting closer, and to increase the hype, the devs revealed the next fighter to join the 2D platform fighting game.

New Joke Character? Banana Guard Announced in MultiVersus

In the announcement trailer, the Banana Guard asks if "he's not like a joke character," referring to one of the funniest aspects of fighting games. In a post on the game's official Twitter account, MultiVersus revealed some of the Banana Guard's attacks. "Potassium and Protein" makes the Banana Guard use the dumbbell to gain damage and knockback, and with "Banana Split," the character falls to the ground, causing damage to enemies upon landing. With "For the Candy Kingdom!" players charge up to perform an attack with the Banana Guard's spear.

MultiVersus will be released on May 28, and the news anticipating the game's arrival continues coming.
