The new year is bringing loads of new updates for MultiVersus. There’s potential for some big changes coming and some of the most requested features coming soon. These are all of the MultiVersus updates from January and new events in the game.
New Years’ MultiVersus Update
MultiVersus has so far had an update schedule that puts most of the other top fighting games to shame. There are new MultiVersus characters and even more coming constantly with this game. It can be tricky to stay on top of all of the MultiVersus updates in January or any other month. The game has a rate of content that’s closer to shooters like Fortnite than the rest of the top fighting games.
Our most recent MultiVersus update has been the Year of the Rabbit event! This was the first event back for the game after the Christmas break. These are all of the changes from this update. Starting with a double Battle Pass XP event starting January 18.
New Map Added – Treefort Single Platform
This is a new map that’s come in this update. It’s based around the Treefort House where Jake and Finn live in Adventure Time. The map is designed for four players. There are platforms at different levels for more varied play. Ground space is relatively sparse though, so it’s a dangerous design with plenty of features to get vertical.
There’s a 2-v-2 single platform coming too. The Treefort will be available in four-play queues with this MultiVersus update.
Scooby’s Mansion – New Look in January MultiVersus Updates
The roofless version of Scooby’s Mansion has had a bit of a redesign. This is a nice change for the map and it’s making it look just as polished as the others in the game.
Lunar New Year Event MultiVersus Update
This is the big part of this latest addition to MultiVersus. We’re getting a Lunar New Year event! This is MultiVersus’ newest in-game event with free cosmetics and rewards for playing MultiVersus through the start of 2023.
Players can log in every day to get rewards. Heading into the game for 14 days is going to make sure you’re getting all of the possible Lunar New Year login rewards. That includes a New Year skin, a banner, ringout, and profile icons.
Shop Items for Year of the Rabbit
We’ve got some fun new items in the shop with this MultiVersus update. These are some of the new items that are around at the moment.
Rare Profile Icons Guardian, Lucky Rabbit, Lunar New Year ’23, Toastie

Gameplay Changes in MultiVersus Updates
That’s the big MultiVersus update for January, but we’ve got some more minor changes too. The alterations to fighters can be just as huge as new events. If your main has had a major change, where they stand in the MultiVersus Meta might have changed.
These are all of the gameplay changes in the latest MultiVersus update that you’re going to need to watch out for.
