It turns out MultiVersus Season 1’s delay won’t be that bad after all: The game’s developers have announced the new start date and Morty now has a release date too.
The success of MultiVersus’ open beta, which drew millions of players, has boosted interest in the free-to-play fighting game even further. The news that Season 1 and the official launch of the game would be delayed came as a nasty surprise to fans. But the developers from Player First Games have now dispelled any worries about possible problems: MultiVersus Season 1 is officially coming on Aug. 15, 2022, according to the game’s official Twitter account.
We’re excited to announce Season 1 will begin on August 15 with a brand-new Battle Pass for you to earn in-game rewards! We can also confirm Morty will join the character roster on August 23 as part of Season 1. We look forward to sharing more in the coming weeks! #MultiVersus

Since the delay turned out to be rather short, there don’t seem to be any major problems behind the scenes.
Morty release date in MultiVersus
At the same time, the developers have announced the release date for Morty. The cartoon character will appear in the game on Aug. 23, 2022. During the game’s first season, he will be joined by his on-screen counterpart, Rick, who is also coming as a playable character.
The first season of the platform brawler will bring a fresh Battle Pass to level up, and those who redeem the promo code for EVO 2022 will finally receive their promised rewards.
