Less than 24 hours before the early access portion of the MultiVersus open beta begins, Player First Games has shared details about the big new patch that will go live alongside it, which will introduce Iron Giant, a new map, and more. 

This will technically be the Open Beta V0 patch, which will mark the beginning of the soft launch and a consistent schedule for MultiVersus. And, the devs have done a lot, adding new abilities, reworking moves, changing titles, and even enabling local multiplayer for up to four players. 

Most of the biggest changes are quality of life: things like Wall Fatigue, to keep players from hugging the wall off stage for extended periods of time, and a glossary of game-specific terms to help players learn them on the MultiVersus main menu.

There are also dozens of balance adjustments for certain characters like Tom and Jerry, Taz, and Jake.

This will be the first time a new character is added to the game. Iron Giant will become playable at the start of the beta, along with the Ancient Sky Arena Steven Universe map.

So if you are jumping into the Open Beta, or just plan on picking up MultiVersus at any point soon, here are the V0 patch notes.

Character adjustments

Arya

• Neutral Air Attack:
  • Earlier branch on-hit to make combos more reliable.
  • More recovery when whiffed to allow for a slightly larger punish window.
• Aerial and Grounded Up Special: On-hit movement follow is more consistent.
• Aerial and Grounded Down Special: Cooldown reduced from 20s to 18s.
  • This is to give Arya a bit more access to armor pierce as the match progresses.
• Grounded Up Attack: Has earlier on-hit cancel frames to allow it to combo more reliably.
• Side Air Attack: Hitbox was shrunk to better match the attack animation.
• Grounded Side Attack 1: More whiff recovery to give the attack a bit more risk for its reward.

Batman

“The goal of these changes are to give Batman earned ring-out power and additional team utility. Giving a number of different attacks and combo routes that give Batman the ability to stack and maintain Weaken Debuff on the enemy.”

• Aerial and Grounded Side Special: Grapple can now be canceled out of using Jump or Dodge.
  • This should give Batman additional outplay options and give him some team utility that he was lacking previously.
• Grounded Down Special: While in smoke Batman and allies ignore enemy projectiles.
  • This should help Batman with a bit more team utility.
• Aerial and Grounded Neutral Attack: Batarang on hit now applies one stack of Weaken debuff.
• Up Air Attack 2: Applies one stack of Weaken debuff.
• Side Air Attack 2: Applies one stack of Weaken debuff.

Bugs Bunny

• Aerial and Grounded Down Special: When exiting from Tunnels Bugs Bunny and allies’ invincibility frames have been reduced.
• Aerial and Grounded Neutral Special: Bugs Bunny and allies do damage to the Safe when attacking it.
  • The Safe could stay on the map for too long so we decided ally attacks can also damage the safe, reducing how long the safe stays out overall. This should provide more opportunities and openings for the enemy team to play around.
• Side Air Attack: Has more whiff recovery to allow it to be more punishable.

Finn

• Side Air Attack 2: Added additional whiff recovery to give a larger window where the attack can be punished on misses.

Harley

  • The Bomb will now pierce armor.
  • Harley Bomb Equip no longer counts as an Air Special use.
  • Harley Bat Bomb will detonate after 6 seconds even when attached.

• Up Air Attack: Increased time between use when using Up Air Attack again when Up Air Attack is canceled by landing.

• Bug Fix: Fixed an issue where Taz could turn permanently invisible.

Tom and Jerry
