All Preview Icon Rotation Characters & Schedule For MultiVersus

The Character Rotation feature allows players to try out a new character or those they’ve yet to unlock. This feature carries over from the Open Beta period, when periodically, a wave of playable characters became freely playable, allowing players to decide whether to buy the character using their in-game currency.

It’s important to note that once the rotation period ends, they will be locked until their next rotation or permanently acquired. Below is the current Character Rotation cycle and which characters are available to play for free:

How Does The Preview Icon Character Rotation Work In MultiVersus?

The Character Rotation in MultiVersus has understandably caused confusion among some players online --  but don't worry; we'll break it down for you. As mentioned, they will have new characters to play every few days, and they can see which characters are currently available in rotation from the Character Collection screen.

If you're worried about losing any progress once the rotation ends, don't. All progression you've made with characters during the MultiVersus Character Rotation will be saved and carried over once they are back on rotation.

Moreover, if you haven't unlocked all the characters, your progress will remain intact and carry over once they're unlocked. Unlocking characters can be achieved by meeting specific prerequisites or purchasing them from the Fighter Store using the new Fighter currency, Gleamium, or remaining Character Tickets.

However, this does not include progression made in the Lab game mode, as this merely serves as a training room for players. The following Character Rotation is expected to be revealed before the current period ends, so check back for the updated schedule.
