MultiVersus update adds Agent Smith, free-for-all and spectator mode

The latest update for MultiVersus, version 1.05, has arrived, adding Agent Smith as a playable character.

According to the patch notes on the MultiVersus Reddit page, Agent Smith can be accessed as early as July 8, if players complete enough Rifts in the Beat Rifts, Get Agent Smith free event.

If players are unable to complete the event, Agent Smith will be added to the main roster on July 23, where he can be purchased like any other fighter.

Version 1.05 also adds two new modes, Free-For-All and Spectator. Free-For-All removes the team element from four-player matches, with the first player to score four ringouts winning.

Spectator mode, meanwhile, can be used in custom games and supports up to four spectators.

The update also improves Rifts by reducing the number of stars needed to unlock everything, essentially removing the need to complete them with a partner. A new Rift called Megalodog has also been added, with two more Rifts to be added later in the season.

Other additions include the return of post-game stats, a daily free item in the Store, and the return of input preferences that were present during the Open Beta.

The new patch also features numerous character balancing tweaks, including some heavy nerfs to Bugs Bunny to make him less powerful and “tone down some of the more toxic loops that come from his air neutral attack”.
