MultiVersus Season 2 to Add Samurai Jack and Beetlejuice, Ranked Mode Arrives Next Week

MultiVersus Season 2: Back in Time will see the addition of Samurai Jack and Beetlejuice and it will arrive on July 23, which is the same time the game will be getting its long-awaited Ranked Mode.

Samurai Jack will be available at the launch of Season 2 on July 23, and Beetlejuice will arrive sometime before Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is released in theaters on September 6 in North America and September 4 internationally.

You can check out a glimpse of Samurai Jack’s gameplay below, and Warner Bros. Games revealed he will be a Bruiser class character who will “utilize his mystical katana blade, agile footwork, and quick reflexes to send opponents flying off the map.” The clip also shows off the Righteous Warrior Jack character variant that can be purchased on July 23 as well.

As for Ranked Mode, it will allow players to compete in 1 vs. 1 and 2 vs. 2 matches and claim leaderboard points that will help unlock exclusive rank-based cosmetic rewards.

Lastly, players will be delighted to know the Water Tower map will also be part of Season 2 and will let players fight it out on the iconic Warner Bros. Water Tower, with “surprise nods to popular Warner Bros. Discovery characters and franchises.”

In our MultiVersus review, we said it “is an entertaining and deep platform fighter, but everything outside of simply jumping into a 1v1 or 2v2 match as any one of the eclectic characters in its cast (who are only related by a common corporate overlord) is tedious. I’ll keep coming back to experiment with my Iron Giant’s perk build for team play or learn how to use Marvin The Martian to his fullest, but I’d be glued to this game if I was given more opportunities to earn memorable variant skins or challenge my skills in increasingly tough PvE battles.”
