MultiVersus: All the latest Patch Notes

The MultiVersus Open Beta is finally out for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. While the game is in a test phase, Player First Games continues to update and adjust characters. Before the beta went live, the game director, Tony Huynh, shared patch notes with the community.

Because MultiVersus is a platform fighting game, balance is essential for keeping the playing field level and preventing certain characters from overpowering the rest. All information comes directly from the Player First Games Patch Notes page.

MultiVersus Season 1.02 Patch Notes

General

• Gizmo joins the roster in patch 1.02.
• Spectator mode now shows Team Colors correctly.

Hitbox/Hurtbox Update

Patch 1.02 includes an overhaul for the hitbox/hurtbox system in MultiVersus. This update changes hitboxes and hurt boxes to better match the character animations in-game. Player First Games will update the system with patches as needed should problems arise. This update is the first step towards genuinely accurate hitbox/hurtbox detection. While more work is coming, the foundation for permanent fixes is here in Patch 1.02.

Changes

• Hurtboxes updated on every character.
• Hitboxes updated on most attacks. Specific adjustments may not be in these patch notes.

Projectile Systems Update

Patch 1.02 also includes the first portion of the projectile systems update. Because Player First Games feels players shouldn’t need to memorize so many different projectile interactions. This update aims to standardize global projectile behaviors so players can better adapt to them. This change is the first part of the projectile systems update, and more updates will come in a future patch.

Changes

• Standardized opposing projectiles to always clank, destroying both projectiles
• Introduction of the Heavy Projectile. Heavy Projectiles break enemy projectiles and only clank with other Heavy Projectiles and cannot be reflected.
• Barriers and buffs that block projectiles are more consistent when blocking all projectiles.
• Exploding Projectiles no longer hit fighters that blocked them.

Directional Action Key Mapping for Keyboard

• Directional attacks and Specials can now map to specific keyboard keys without fast falling.
• There are eight new keyboard binds (Up Attack, Right Attack, Down Atack, Left Attack, Up Special, Right Special, Down Special, Left Special).

Miscellaneous Gameplay Updates

• Adjusted character mesh vertical offsets to prevent floor clipping on characters’ feet. Adjusted floor collision on the following maps: Scooby’s Haunted Mansion, Cromulons, Cromulons (1 vs. 1), Tree Fort (1 vs. 1), and all Sky Arena maps.
• Wall, floor, and ceiling bounces no longer restore Dodge Meter energy.
• Improved input handling on Attack/Special executions simultaneously as a jump. In the past, jumps could interrupt Attacks and SPecials, leading to “ignored” actions. This change improves the responsiveness of short hop Attacks and Specials.

General Perk Updates

• Clear The Air: Updated description for this Perk that clarifies it only works via non-Heavy Projectiles
• Ice To Beat You!: Projectiles will only apply Ice debuff to fighters that Ice doesn’t already debuff.
