Even withmore characters on the way like Black Adam, Player First Games enables players to essentially try before they buy, rotating the available free characters every so often. The current preview rotation, which began on August 30 includes the DC villain Harley Quinn, Bugs Bunny fromLooney Tunes, and both Velma and Shaggy fromScooby-Doo. Players can play, level them up until September 13, when a new set of characters will be swapped in. Thankfully, the progression will be retained, even if the character becomes locked again.
Once the characters are rotated out, players will have two different ways to unlock them. While Founder’s Pack purchasers have character unlock tickets they can use, everyone else can use coins or Gleamium. Characters inMultiVersusrange in price for those spending coins, which are earned simply by playing, winning, and toasting other players after a match.Gleamium represents MultiVersus' premium currencywhich can only be obtained by spending real money or picking up one of the various Founder’s Packs.
In addition to free characters, big things appear to be on the horizon for MultiVersus.
