What began as an indefinite delay has turned into a short one-week wait, as MultiVersus Season 1 has been confirmed for a August 15 start date.
The official MultiVersus Twitter account announced the Season 1 start date, while also confirming that the first new character of the season–Morty Smith from Rick and Morty–will debut eight days later on August 23.
We’re excited to announce Season 1 will begin on August 15 with a brand-new Battle Pass for you to earn in-game rewards! We can also confirm Morty will join the character roster on August 23 as part of Season 1. We look forward to sharing more in the coming weeks! #MultiVersus

MultiVersus Season 1 was originally intended to begin August 8, but the developer announced a delay one week before the set launch. No new date for the delay was given at the time, leaving both the game’s opening season and Morty in limbo.
