MultiVersus Open Beta 1.05 Patch Notes

Player First Games has published patch notes for MultiVersus Open Beta 1.05. The roster finally added Black Adam from the DC universe. The character, voiced by industry veteran Bob Carter, can move around the battlefield in any direction using flight. His first attack, Lightning Surge, deals electrical damage to enemies and applies a buff to allies. The second attack, Aton's Havoc, unleashes a charged electric beam that follows the opponents.

In addition, the developers have made some gameplay improvements and balance changes. Finally, they added Classic Arcade Mode Alpha and extended Battle Pass to level 53.

You can see all updates below:
