Warner Bros. Interactive Adds Stripe the Gremlin, Halloween-Themed Content to MultiVersus

The spirit of Halloween is alive and well in MultiVesus' latest update.

Warner Bros. Games has recently announced the addition of Stripe the Gremlin, the main antagonist of the "Gremlins" franchise, to the character roster of its free-to-play crossover fighting game, MultiVersus.

Stripes the Gremlin's addition to the game is accompanied by the arrival of Halloween-themed content to give the game a spooky feel this month of October.

MultiVersus Stripes the Gremlin Addition Details

Warner Bros. games mentioned in its announcement that Stripe the Gremlin is an Assassin-class character with a moveset that complements his mischievous and rowdy nature as a gremlin.

Stripe was previously teased as a character addition to the game in a future update along with Black Adam.

For those unaware, Stripe is introduced to the public in the first "Gremlins" movie, with him being the leader of the first batch of mogwai that turned into gremlins due to them feeding after midnight, per the Gremlins Fandom.

A gremlin is a creature with scaly reptile-like skin, large batlike ears, three sharp claws on its hands and feet, as well as sharp teeth.

These features are prominently utilized in Stripe's moveset, which includes claw attacks and even a buzzsaw, chainsaw, dynamite, and a skateboard.

Interestingly, Stripe can briefly attach himself to an opponent to avoid hits and cause damage while doing so.

MultiVersus Halloween-Themed Content Details

Stripes' arrival on MultiVersus comes at an appropriate time - October is known for being the month of Halloween. As such, Warner Bros. added a Halloween-themed event called "Monster Mash" that allows players to earn "candy" in exchange for character variants, profile icons, and a Jack-o-Lantern sticker emote.

Here are the character variants players can buy with the candies they earned during the in-game event:

• Black Lantern Superman character variant
• Black Lantern Wonder Woman character variant
• Frankenstein Iron Giant character variant
• Vampire Tom and Jerry character variant
• Witch Velma character variant

The event also comes with a Count Scooby ring out and Twick or Tweet ring out. Additionally, it has "Boo!", Diana Undead Wonder Woman, and "The Darkness Grows" Superman profile icons - all of which are purchasable with gold.

Four Halloween-themed banners are also available during the event. These include:

• A Very Normal Pumpkin Patch banner
• Full Moon Surprise banner
• Ghoulish Delights banner
• It Might Be Haunted banner

The Monster Mash in-game event and the rewards it brings are available from Oct. 12 through Nov. 15, per Polygon.

MultiVersus will also celebrate another Halloween-themed event called "Scoobtober," the annual Scooby-Doo-focused Halloween event celebrated on Oct. 28 until Oct. 30.

During this event, Warner Bros. will exclusively livestream Scooby-Doo content on Twitch, which includes full-length episodes from the Scooby-Doo television series and even full-length films.

MultiVersus players who join in on the live stream can receive rewards based on how long they watched the live stream. Those who watched for 30 mins. get ten toasts, while those who watched for a full hour get a Scoobtober 2022 profile icon. Meanwhile, those who spent 90 mins. watching the live stream can get a Pumpkin Spice ring out, and those who watched for two hours can get a Scoobtober's Greetings banner.
