The MultiVersus 1.02 patch notes have been released, with the latest update to the game’s open beta scheduled to drop later today. The patch will bring significant changes across the entire cast, as well as a new cute and cuddly character.
Gizmo, the hero of the mogwai from the 80s classic Gremlins, joins the roster as a support character. Gizmo can attach himself to teammates for tandem attacks, damage opponents by singing, and shoot flaming arrows that can cause damage over time to opponents.
Our goal with this update is to more tightly tie hitboxes and hurtboxes to our character animations. The hit/hurtbox updates in this patch are a foundational change to MultiVersus. There may be issues, but we should be able to correct the issues quickly and more accurately now. pic.twitter.com/AQRaegBNwh

The MultiVersus 1.02 patch will also bring a major change to hurtboxes, adjusting them to be more in line with a character’s animations than before. Images shared via Twitter by the game’s executive producer Tony Huyhn further explain the adjustments using Wonder Woman as an example, with Huyhn calling them a “a foundational change to MultiVersus.”
