Warner Bros. Games today announced that Stripe, the main antagonist from the Gremlins franchise, is now available as the latest playable character in MultiVersus, the free-to-play platform fighter developed by Player First Games. The mohawk-wearing Gremlin leader arrives as part of MultiVersus Season 1 and is an Assassin class character with a moveset that highlights his unruly and rambunctious nature. Stripe’s abilities are featured in a newly revealed gameplay trailer showing off his claw attacks, as well as a range of weapons that can be used to strike fear in challengers, including a buzzsaw, chainsaw, dynamite, and even a skateboard. He can also briefly attach himself to opponents to avoid hits and cause damage of his own. The Combat Stripe character variant is available now for in-game purchases.
Additionally, the MultiVersus Halloween 2022 Update is available now and includes the Monster Mash in-game event, allowing players to participate in matches and earn “candy” in exchange for rewards, including the Calico Cake Jake the Dog character variant, Mummy Reindog character variant, Pumpkin Patch profile icon and Jack-o-Lantern sticker emote.
The Monster Mash earnable rewards and Halloween inspired cosmetic items for purchase will be available from October 13th at 10 a.m. PT through November 8th at 10 a.m. PT.
Furthermore, later this month from October 28th – 30th, MultiVersus will celebrate Scoobtober, the annual Scooby-Doo focused Halloween celebration, with a dedicated Twitch Livestream of official Scooby-Doo content, including both full-length episodes from the Scooby-Doo television series and full-length films.
