Warner Bros.MuliVersus has received another major update, this time bringing Black Adam to the roster along with a new mode and queue option. Here’s everything fans need to know.
Fans may be surprised to see another MultiVersus patch already, considering update 1.04 arrived a little over two weeks ago on October 12, 2022.
Now, this next update is set to introduce DC’s Black Adam to the game’s roster, alongside the new Arcade Alpha mode among other additions.
So before fans jump into patch 1.05 releases on October 31, 2022, you can find everything you need to know in the full MultiVersus 1.05 patch notes below.
MultiVersus full 1.05 patch notes
Naturally, the biggest addition in the 1.05 patch is the new character, Black Adam from DC. Many will likely know Black Adam as the supervillain turned anti-hero to Shazam. However, modern superheroes fans will likely recognize him thanks to the 2022 Black Adam film starring Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson.
In MultiVersus, Black Adam will be a part of the Bruiser class alongside characters like Batman, Shaggy, and Taz. Black Adam’s character gimmick adds elemental shock damage to all of his attacks.
As for abilities, Black Adam has Lighting Surge, which will “unleash electric power to SHOCK enemies and ELECTRIFY allies.”
Next, there’s Aton’s Havoc, which allows Black Adam to grab and shock enemies with a jumping beam of lightning. Finally, there’s Heru’s Flight, which lets Black Adam briefly gain the ability to fly in any direction.
Alongside Black Adam comes the addition of Classic Arcade Mode Alpha, which lets players fight through a gauntlet of different character variants. Additionally, Silly Queue will be added to the game, which is meant to serve as a more casual game mode going forward.
