Since Warner Bros. Games and developer Player First Games announced the Smash-like brawler MultiVersus, fans have asked for Rick and Morty representation in the game. After all, Adultswim (and Cartoon Network) is owned by Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc., and Cartoon Network characters have shown up, so it’s a particularly weird request. Now the question still stands: Will Rick Sanchez and/or Morty Smith be introduced to MultiVersus sometime in the future?
Is Rick Sanchez’s ‘Rick and Morty’ Coming to MultiVersus?

If you’re wondering if Rick Sanchez will be coming to MultiVersus, don’t fret because the answer is yes. At San Diego Comic-Con 2022, Warner Bros. Games has officially confirmed that both Rick and Morty‘s main characters, Morty Smith and Rick Sanchez, will be added to the crossover brawler game roster as two separate characters.
Morty is planned to be added at the start of MultiVersus Season 1 on August 9, and he will be a counter-focused Bruiser armed with projectiles to let him play keep-away against his enemies. Meanwhile, Rick will also appear in Season 1, but a release date is yet to be announced. As a Ranged Mage, Rick will fight by using his gadgets and summoning Meeseeks. Aside from the series’ protagonists, a Rick and Morty-themed stage will also be in MultiVersus, featuring the Cromulons in the stage’s background, as seen in the LeBron Character Reveal trailer below.
Speaking of LeBron James, he’ll be added to the roster on July 26 when the game launches its public open beta. Utilizing a basketball ball, he is a Bruiser-type character that excels at offense. He also has dialogue, just like every other character in MultiVersus, but voice actor John Bentley (Barret Wallace, FFVII Remake) will voice him rather than the athlete himself.
