A new character from the MultiVersus Bruiser class, the trailer shows Banana Guard alongside Finn the Human and Jake the Dog, the other Adventure Time characters featured in the game. The trailer also shows more Banana Guards gathered together, although it doesn't detail how a potential interaction between the characters will work in the game.
New Joke Character? Banana Guard Announced in MultiVersus
In the announcement trailer, the Banana Guard asks if "he's not like a joke character," referring to one of the funniest aspects of fighting games. In a post on the game's official Twitter account, MultiVersus revealed some of the Banana Guard's attacks. "Potassium and Protein" makes the Banana Guard use the dumbbell to gain damage and knockback, and with "Banana Split," the character falls to the ground, causing damage to enemies upon landing. With "For the Candy Kingdom!" Players charge up to perform an attack with the Banana Guard's spear.
MultiVersus will be released on May 28, and the news anticipating the game's arrival continues coming. Before the Banana Guard, the devs revealed that the Joker is coming to MultiVersus, which will see the return of Mark Hamill as the voice of the Clown Prince of Crime. With the devs promising even more exciting news in the coming days, MultiVersus players wait to discover what other characters will be revealed, such as the teased addition of the Powerpuff Girls.
