[Updated] ‘MultiVersus’ Adding Stripe From ‘Gremlins’ as Part of Season 1 Content, Eleven From ‘Stranger Things’ Rumoured
UPDATE: Warner Bros. Games has officially announced that Black Adam and Stripe will join the MultiVersus roster in the coming months as part of Season 1.
Horror fans haven’t had much to celebrate with Player First Games and WB Games’ MultiVersus, but that appears to be changing if the recent advertisements are to be believed. Alongside Black Adam (who just so happens to have a film coming out later this year), Stripe from Gremlins (which is getting a much-needed revival on HBO Max) has also appeared in a recent ad for the crossover fighting game.
Per IGN, the ShadyMVS Twitter account posted the ad in question featuring the two fighters. Neither character has been officially confirmed as of yet for MultiVersus. On top of that, another Twitter user called Mcsleaks (whose account has now disappeared) had posted a leaked character roster which also featured Stripe and Black Adam, alongside Eleven from Stranger Things, Beetlejuice from Beetlejuice, and Godzilla.
Again, none of this has been confirmed by Warner Bros or developer Player First Games.
MultiVersus, which has been in open beta since July, officially launches its first season today. Additional characters are expected to be revealed alongside the launch. You can play MultiVersus for free on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series and PC via Steam.
Black Adam, directed by Jaume Collet-Serra and starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Aldis Hodge, Noah Centineo, Pierce Brosnan, and Quintessa Swindell, arrives in theaters on October 21, 2022. Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai, is half-hour animated series from WB Animation and Amblin TV currently in development starring Zach Galligan, James Hong, BD Wong, Ming-Na Wen and Izaac Wang.

After launching last October on Steam, Assemble Entertainment and developer Tainted Pact are bringing their old-school survival horror game Flesh Made Fear to the PlayStation 5 next week on June 25.
Conceived by Michael Cosio, who also created Massacre at the Mirage, Terror at Oakheart and Suffer the Night (and is currently working on The Skin Stapler), Flesh Made Fear draws inspiration from the fixed-camera tension, puzzle-driven pacing, and scarce resources of classic Resident Evil games, while adding its own blend of body horror, conspiracy, and occult terror.
Players take on the role of an elite operative in the Reaper Intervention Platoon (R.I.P.), a covert task force deployed to neutralize Victor “The Dripper” Ripper—a brilliant but deranged former CIA agent. His sinister experiments have turned a desolate backwater town into a nightmare filled with grotesque monsters and mind-controlled thralls. Your mission is clear: eliminate Ripper, unravel his chilling secrets, and survive the horrors lurking in his mansion-turned-laboratory.
You can tackle the nightmare of The Dripper as one of two survivors, each with their own abilities and personal journey. Jack (greater health, smaller inventory) relies on grit and clever instincts to endure the horrors closing in around him, while Natalie (less health, larger inventory) meets the madness head-on with sharp resolve, quick wit, and relentless stamina. Both characters offers unique stats and storylines, enhancing replayability.
Vulnerability is the name of the game in Flesh Made Fear. By reintroducing mechanics like limited saves, a mix of fixed and dynamic camera angles, and restricted resources, the game forces players into a constant state of tension. Every decision – whether to fight, flee, or conserve ammunition – carries weight. This careful design, paired with grotesque visuals and a conspiratorial story, aims to deliver “an authentic yet modernized survival horror experience.”
