Hitbox improvements dominate the 1.02 patch
Gremlins’ Gizmo has finally landed inMultiVersus, just a few days later than originally advertised. The Warner Bros. licensed brawler’s also been given an update that’s meant to improve hitboxes and hurtboxes, and rebalances characters. Watch the introductory trailer for Gizmo below. He’s a mogwai, you know, not a gremlin. I was misinformed!

MultiVersus’s game director Tony Huynhsaidthat the update’s main goal was to better link character hitboxes and hurtboxes together with their animations, calling it a “foundational change” for the game. The team is moving on to netcode improvements next, but Huynh promised that they’d push out further changes to hitboxes and hurtboxes if needed. Probably the best change in the update, though, is that Velma now summons her pals Mystery Inc. to take away foes in the Mystery Machine, instead of calling the cops. Some fast settings have been added for people playing on lower-spec machines too, which is always handy.
We’re still waiting on MultiVersus’ actual gremlin fighter, Stripe. He wasconfirmedto be coming to the game along with DC Comics’ morally grey superperson Black Adam last month, afterappearing earlyin ads on console. No word yet on when Stripe or Adam will appear, although they’re both expected sometime during this season. Before Gizmo, the latest fighter to arrive was Rick And Morty’sMorty Smith. His grandpa Rick is also planned for this season.
MultiVersus is free-to-play onSteamand theEpic Games Store. You can find the full patch notes for the latest updatehere.
