MultiVersushas done an impressive job of bringing together characters from several major franchises, whether it’s superheroes from DC Comics, LeBron James fromSpace Jam, or cartoons like Bugs Bunny, Stephen Universe, and the Iron Giant. Players understandably have their own picks that they’d love to see added toMultiVersusin the future, though. That includesMultiVersusgame director Tony Huynh. Huynh recently posted about a pair of popular Cartoon Network characters, saying he’ll “try really hard” to get them added toMultiVersus.
Huynh has been incredibly active on Twitter sinceMultiVersuslaunched its early access Open Beta, responding toMultiVersusplayers regarding a diverse range of subjects. Huynh dropped a tweet on Friday mentioning they were working on an upcoming character, saying developer Player First Games has some “really cool stuff” in store. This post was responded to by a fan asking if Mordecai and Rigby fromRegular Showcould be added toMultiVersus. Huynh responded and was very open to the idea.

“I’ll try really hard,” is what Huynh said about the possibility of adding Mordecai and Rigby toMultiVersus. He’d go on to say thatRegular Showis one of his “favorite” shows. Huynh doesn’t respond to every request he gets on Twitter, and fewer yet for random characters to be added to the game. That he noticed and decided to respond to a fan ofRegular Showis supporting evidence that Huynh is speaking from the heart.
Just because Huynh would love to see Mordecai and Rigby inMultiVersusdoesn’t mean that it will happen, of course. Even as the game director forMultiVersus, Huynh doesn’t control over every creative decisionPlayer First Gamesmakes. And even if he did have the power to make it happen immediately, that doesn’t mean Huynh would prioritize his own favorites over other characters that might prove more successful inMultiVersus.
Regular Showran on Cartoon Network between 2009 and 2017. Across eight seasons and over 250 episodes, Mordecai and Rigby had an incredible amount of oddball adventures with their co-workers Hi-Five Ghost,Muscle Man, Pops, and Skips, along with their boss Benson.Regular Showwas best known for its mix of absurdity and escalating ridiculousness combined with mundane slice-of-life elements.
By all indications,MultiVersusis more than open to bringing oddballCartoon Networkcharacters into the game. IfAdventure TimeandSteven Universecan be a part of the fighting game universe, so canRegular Show. Having Huynh there supporting the possibility makes the addition all the more realistic, but it may be awhile before Mordecai and Rigby make their way to the game since there are many other Warner Bros. characters that can be added.
MultiVersusis available now in Open Beta on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
