Horror Movie Game Characters

Warner Bros. Games Added 'Gizmo' from Gremlins to MultiVersus

— September 9, 2022 — Tech
Warner Bros. Games, the game studio most known for its largely popular platform fighting game, 'MultiVersus,' announced that it has added 'Gizmo' to the multiversal game. Gizmo is the main 'Mogwai' from the 1984 horror movie 'Gremlins,' where the character teams up with humans to defeat the evil gremlins.

In MultiVersus, Gizmo is a cute, cuddly support character armed with tools that appear in the original movie. For example, Gizmo uses musical note projectiles, his iconic pink toy sports car, his signature bow and arrow, and even an umbrella. The character also has an alternative skin available named 'Combat Gizmo,' where the character appears more ready for a large-scale fight.

Gizmo and Combat Gizmo are available now for purchase in MultiVersus, with Gizmo costing either 3,000 in-game gold, or a small transaction of gems. Gems are the in-game currency that is acquired with real-world money.
