MultiVersus Update Finally Adds Black Adam, Patch Notes Revealed

10/31/2022 12:27 pm EDT

A new update for MultiVersus has rolled out today and it finally adds Black Adam as the game's 22nd playable character. Originally, Black Adam was supposed to arrive in MultiVersus last week but was met with a last-second delay. Luckily, the delay wasn't a long one, which means that MultiVersus players can now use the latest DC character for themselves. 

In addition to Black Adam's inclusion, patch 1.05 in MultiVersus adds a handful of other new features. One of these additions happens to be an Arcade mode, which can be played in either solo or co-op. Beyond this, MultiVersus has also now extended the battle pass to level 53 and has also added a new "Silly Queue," which is essentially being used for casual matches. 

Lastly, a number of other gameplay tweaks have also been pushed out in this MultiVersus to go along with new cosmetics. The biggest tweaks to various characters in this update include nerfs to Arya, Iron Giant, and Shaggy, while Garnet, Superman, and Gizmo have all received slight buffs. Bugs Bunny, Morty, and Stripe have also all received some small alterations to their character mechanics as well. 

If you'd like to find the majority of the new patch notes for today's MultiVersus update, you can check them out below. More information on the character changes and new cosmetics can be found right here.
