You’ve been waiting for Stripe to show up in MultiVersus. And now that day’s finally arrived. The antagonist from Gremlins is the latest character to join the free-to-play platform fighter developed by Player First Games, and comes complete with a new trailer showing off his gameplay.
Classified as an Assassin class character with a moveset that “highlights his unruly and rambunctious nature”, Stripe’s abilities in MultiVersus involve his claw attacks, as well as a buzzsaw blade, chainsaw, dynamite and even a skateboard. Much like Gizmo, Stripe can briefly attach himself to opponents to avoid hits and cause damage of his own. The Combat Stripe character variant is available now for in-game purchase.
And seeing as its that time of year, MultiVersus also has a Halloween 2022 Update available now, which includes the “Monster Mash” in-game event, allowing players to participate in matches and earn “candy” in exchange for rewards. Those rewards include a variety of character variants, emotes and more.
The update also features new Halloween themed in-game cosmetic items available for purchase, including:
- Black Lantern Superman character variant
- Black Lantern Wonder Woman character variant
- Frankenstein Iron Giant character variant
- Vampire Tom and Jerry character variant
- Witch Velma character variant
- Count Scooby ringout
- Twick or Tweet ringout
- Boo! profile icon (purchase with Gold)
- Diana Undead Wonder Woman profile icon (purchase with Gold)
- The Darkness Grows Superman profile icon (purchase with Gold)
- A Very Normal Pumpkin Patch banner
- Full Moon Surprise banner
- Ghoulish Delights banner
- It Might Be Haunted banner
The Monster Mash earnable rewards and Halloween inspired cosmetic items for purchase will be available from Oct. 13 at 10 a.m. PT through Nov. 8 at 10 a.m. PT.
If that’s not enough, later this month from Oct. 28-30, MultiVersus will celebrate “Scoobtober”, the annual Scooby-Doo focused Halloween celebration, with a dedicated Twitch livestream of official Scooby-Doo content, including both full-length episodes from the Scooby-Doo television series and full-length films. Players who watch the stream can earn various rewards based on the amount of viewing time: 30 minutes – 10 toasts, 60 minutes – Scoobtober 2022 profile icon, 90 minutes – Pumpkin Spice ringout and 120 minutes – Scoobtober’s Greetings banner.
You can play MultiVersus for free on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series and PC via Steam.
