The latest MultiVersus update continues to expand the battler for the Warner Bros. platform, introducing a new Game of Thrones-inspired map, a holiday event and, for those willing to splash some cash, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson himself.
Johnson enters the MultiVersus arena as a variant of Black Adam, the super anti-hero he recently portrayed in the DC movie of the same name who Johnson says will actually make a profit. Black Adam was added as a playable fighter for the start of MultiVersus Season 1. It is now available for purchase in the in-game store.
While being able to play as The Rock isn’t free, the new Game of Thrones map that puts players right in front of the show’s iconic Iron Throne thankfully does. The map features an epic remix of Ramin Djawadi’s legendary theme music for players to enjoy while battling it out, to boot. MultiVersus currently only has one Game of Thrones character in the form of Arya Stark, but hopefully more sword-wielding warriors from Westeros will enter the game in the future now that they have a suitable arena for fighting.
It wouldn’t be a December video game update if it didn’t include a limited-time holiday event, and the latest MultiVersus update has that too. Playing matches will earn players “Holiday Cookies” which can be redeemed for various rewards like an Ugly Sweater Superman skin as well as new profile pictures, emotes and more. The event will run until January 18, 2023, giving players just over a month to nab all the rewards up for grabs. There’s also a slew of new holiday-themed items and skins for sale in the store.

For good measure, the update additionally includes a handful of character balancing updates and bug fixes, with Jake and Shaggy in particular being reduced by a few pegs. For more details, check out the official patch notes.
The update appears to cap off a great first year for MultiVersus, which over the past six months has introduced several new characters like Rick and Morty, Lebron James (from Space Jam, not the NBA), Gizmo of Fame from Gremlins, and more. MultiVersus recently won Best Fighting Game at The Game Awards, beating out more established fighting game favorites like The King of Fighters XV.
