After taking a long break to improve things, MultiVersus is back when a number of exciting events.

Among them is a special event that unlocks Agent Smith “two weeks” prior to his official unlock. This asks players to complete newly added Rift modes, with 20 giving the characters. In addition to unlocking him, 3000 Fighter Currency, Agent Smith related cosmetics, and a total of five “Matrix Code” costumes can be obtained.

A special Joker event is also available that gives a special Wonder Woman skin. This can be completed along with the Welcome Back Daily Login, which gives resources, plus a Velma and Superman skin.

As previously revealed, all returning players will get the first season for free. This immediately unlocks Jason Voorhees, and enough premium currency to unlock the next season. Banana Guard can also be unlocked by logging in two days, with the special female Banana Guard unlocking at seven.

While there is a lot of things to be excited for, the relaunch was met with mixed reactions. A lot of this stemmed from changes made with the rerelease. Reddit user sloppybuttons compiled a list of changes the community noticed with the new release.

It’s not clear if certain things were changed to meet the new deadline, but hopefully they will be addressed in the future.
