Player First Games has today released update version 1.2.1 for MultiVersus. Currently in the midst of Season 2, new content has been coming to MultiVersus at a steady cadence since its return in May. Specifically, characters including Jason, Joker, Agent Smith, and Samurai Jack have all been added to the game’s roster in recent months. And while today’s patch doesn’t contain any new fighters, it does refine those currently available.

Downloadable now across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, the latest patch for Multiversus is aimed almost entirely at balance changes. The Iron Giant has received the most tweaks with update 1.2.1 as Player First Games continues to refine (and nerf) the character that has been deemed too OP by players. Other characters that have received overhauls on this patch include LeBron James, Morty, Arya, and Harley Quinn, to name a few. Outside of this, only a couple of small bugs have been fixed with the update.
To get a full look at everything this new update for MultiVersus does, you can find the full patch notes attached below.
