New in-engine cinematics? Check Mr Mee Six comically killed? Check That means that Rick Sanchez of Rick and Morty is finally confirmed as the next playable fighter in MultiVersus.
Rick Sanchez was announced at San Diego Comic-Con to be in the game along with his grandson Morty. Still, many players were surprised that it took two months for this nihilistic inventor to appear in the game.
Morty was the first character added in Season 1, and after a brief delay, he was added on August 23. Fans speculated that Rick would be added shortly after that. Now, a month later, we finally know that he is almost done.
According to MultiVersus game director Tony Huynh, Rick will be released “very soon.” However, since Player First Games often updates on Tuesdays, it will probably be early next week.
