MultiVersus is a Warner Bros. take on Nintendo’s Smash Bros. series, and includes a number of characters owned by the company, such as DC superhero Batman and The Matrix villain, Agent Smith.

Warner Bros. also owns Mortal Kombat and its developer NetherRealm, so it would make sense to see the series’ famous ninja turn up in MultiVersus at some point.

MultiVersus re-released across PC, PlayStation and Xbox in May after a beta ran from July 2022 to June 2023. On Steam, the May relaunch saw MultiVersus’ concurrent player count shoot up to 114,515, but that figure has fallen dramatically since, with 6,030 peak concurrents in the last 24 hours. Sony and Microsoft do not make player numbers on PlayStation and Xbox publicly available.

Player First Games is in the process of rolling out MultiVersus’ mid-season update patch 1.05, readying the game for Agent Smith’s arrival from July 8. As for Mortal Kombat, fans are awaiting an announcement from NetherRealm on the inevitable Kombat Pack 2 for Mortal Kombat 1, as well as a promised story expansion. Dataminers have unearthed what looks like the next six DLC characters for Mortal Kombat 1 already.
