In the lead-up to MultiVersus’s release, Player First Games has announced a new nefarious fighter from the DC Universe. Joker, the arch-nemesis of Batman, has entered the battle as another fighter. The initial announcement was made early Wednesday afternoon on Twitter/X, with a reveal trailer uploaded a short time later.

According to Comicbook, the Joker’s reveal is likely due to a now completed ARG run from the official MultiVersus discord, which had fans convinced that Joker was to be the next unveiled fighter.

Additionally, the trailer gave a small glimpse into Joker’s gameplay as well as his iconic returning voice actor, Mark Hamill, who had previously said to be stepping away from away from the role following Kevin Conroy’s passing.

It’s unknown when Joker will be released, but considering the release date for MultiVersus is only three weeks away, it wouldn’t be surprising to assume that Joker might release then.

MultiVersus had recently resurfaced in March after closing down its open beta last year. Now, after revising the game, the game is the closest it’s ever been to an official launch. MultiVersus will finally be playable on May 28 on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
