MultiVersus patch 2.1 notes: Marvin the Martian arrives, 11 character changes, more

The MultiVersus 2.1 update has arrived, marking the debut of Marvin the Martian while tweaking just shy of a dozen existing fighters. Here’s a full rundown on the latest patch notes.

With MultiVersus Season 2 in full swing, the first major update of the cycle is now live. Following on from the recent content drop, this patch introduced a new character in Marvin the Martian and also changed 11 existing characters with various buffs and nerfs.

Not to mention, a handful of pesky bugs have once again been squashed as the free-to-play title continues on in Open Beta form ahead of an eventual full release.

So before you jump back into the arena, be sure to brush up here with everything you need to know about the MultiVersus 2.1 patch notes.

Marvin the Martian debuts in MultiVersus patch 2.1

As previously announced in the Season 2 reveal, Marvin the Martian is the latest character to make a splash in MultiVersus. The iconic Looney Tunes figure enters as a new Assassin-type fighter and is available to unlock right away with in-game currency.

For 3,000 Gold, 1 Character Ticket, or 700 Gleamium, Marvin the Martian can join your roster immediately. Expect to see plenty of mirror matches in the coming days if you do, however, as everyone will be looking to familiarize themselves with the new addition.
