The next fighter to come to MultiVersus has been announced over the weekend! First, we’ll see MultiVersus Samurai Jack added. Then, we move on to Beetlejuice. Both have been rumored in leaks since the game was in Open Beta, but it’s fun to see them confirmed as the next two. They’ve both got something to offer and feel like interesting ideas for fighting game move sets.
The first of the two new MultiVersus characters is Samurai Jack. He hails from a cartoon of the same name. It first ran in the early 2000s but returned for another stint in 2017. The series has a cult following and was a particularly fun action show in its day. Its art style was pretty unique compared to what we’ve had in MultiVersus so far too.
The character has a decent nostalgic pull on a lot of players. Their source material leaves a lot of room for fun though. What do we know about MultiVersus Samurai Jack so far?

MultiVersus Samurai Jack
Samurai Jack has been confirmed as our next MultiVersus character in the EVO 2024 announcement. The character will be added from the start of Season 2! That’s expected next week. Once he’s active in the game, players can unlock him with the normal methods once he hits the game.
In terms of Samurai Jack’s playstyle, we’ve had some glimpses in the gameplay trailer shown off.

Jack’s sword should provide a natural fit to the rest of the roster in MultiVersus, with slashes and combos based on martial arts. The gameplay trailer shows some interesting attacks including a spike move. He looks like a fun addition to the fighters. We’ll have to see where he ends up in MultiVersus tier lists over the coming weeks once he’s released in-game.
After Jack, we’ve already had the next character confirmed in that same trailer. Players will be getting Beetlejuice in-game! The Michael Keeton played ghost is returning to screens in a new movie soon, so it’s fitting to bring him into MultiVersus at the same time. It’s looking like season 2 will be an exciting few months in MultiVersus.
