Season two of the smash-hit hero brawler MultiVersus begins today and Warner Bros. Games and Player First Games have revealed some further details. Those eager for more news on new characters will be pleased to find out that they will be getting a brand new playable hero in season two. Looney Tunes character Marvin the Martian will be making his way into the fray.
It’s been revealed that Marvin the Martian will be equipped with his Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator explosive device, a powerful blaster and spaceship summoning abilities. However, as for further details on his abilities, we’ll have to wait a bit longer to find out. In addition to Marvin’s appearance in the game, players have another iconic bit of crossover content to look forward to this season.
A new Game of Thrones-themed map will be incorporated into MultiVersus and it’ll feature some pretty cool nods to the show itself. The incoming Game of Thrones map will allow players to partake in a virtual fight for power by hurling opponents away from the Iron Throne. The map will also include a number of Westeros-themed hazards and feature a special remix of the iconic theme music for players to duel it out to. While no exact date has been given as yet for both Marvin the Martian and the Game of Thrones map, players can expect it to arrive at some point during MultiVersus season two.
Players can get their hands on the game’s season two battle pass right now, with players being able to access rewards on every tier of this season’s pass. WB Games has also released a new set of patch notes to coincide with the launch of season two, some of which you can check out below. For character-specific balance changes, make sure to check out today’s update notes in full on the MultiVersus website.
