Agent Smith joins MultiVersus on July 8

Warner Bros. Games and Player First Games have released a new MultiVersus trailer revealing the first look at gameplay for Agent Smith, the main antagonist from The Matrix film series. It was also announced the fighter will join MultiVersus on July 8 as part of Season 1: Puns & Villainy.

Agent Smith is a Bruiser class character with a moveset befitting his role as a defender of the Matrix. With staggering speed, uncanny aim, and an insatiable hunger for control, he’s ready to make the Multiverse his playground. In the new video, Agent Smith can be seen leveraging his close-range combat and shooting skills, teleporting to close the distance in the middle of battle, and calling in support from another Agent.

How to unlock Agent Smith

Agent Smith is a free playable fighter starting on July 8, but you’ll have to participate in the season-long “Beat Rifts, Get Agent Smith Free” event where players can complete boss nodes in the PvE Rifts mode to earn rewards.

The good news for players is they won’t need to spend any Gleamium or Fighter Currency to acquire Agent Smith this time around.
