MultiVersus‘ roster just keeps growing. A new trailer not only welcomed in three new characters, but also gave a release window for its newly announced open beta.

Cummings and Micucci have voiced those characters more than a few times in the past, but Lipow is new to the Iron Giant role as Vin Diesel voiced him in the titular 1999 film

While the closed alpha is coming later this week, more users will be able to try the game out during its open beta.

The beta will launch sometime in July, but Warner Bros. wasn’t too specific on when it will arrive during that month.

It’s also not clear what characters or modes will be in the beta, but the publisher did announce that Taz and Velma would also be in the closed alpha, which obviously weren’t announced for it since they hadn’t been revealed yet.
