Warner Bros. Games has announced that MultiVersus will be adding Samurai Jack and Beetlejuice to its growing roster of characters as part of Season 2: Back in Time. From the Cartoon Network and Adult Swim action-adventure animated series of the same name, the katana wielding Samurai Jack will be available when MultiVersus Season 2 launched on July 23. The troublesome ghost Beetlejuice (a.k.a. Betelgeuse) will arrive later in the season, in advance of the upcoming Warner Bros. Pictures film Beetlejuice Beetlejuice sequel to Beetlejuice (1988), only in theaters on Sept. 6 in North America and beginning Sept. 4 internationally.
After being flung into the future by the evil demon Aku, the warrior known as Samurai Jackembarked on a relentless quest to return to the past. With his unmatched swordsmanship and incredible agility, he’s truly a force to be reckoned with, and in the new MultiVersus gameplay trailer, Samurai Jack’s fighting skills as a Bruiser class character are on full display, which utilize his mystical katana blade, agile footwork, and quick reflexes to send opponents flying off the map. The video also provides a first look at the Righteous Warrior Jack character variant, which will be available for in-game purchase on July 23.
