The following was sent as a press release to Inven Global.

Warner Bros. Games today announced that Stripe, the main antagonist from the Gremlins franchise, is now available as the latest playable character in MultiVersus, the free-to-play platform fighter developed by Player First Games. The mohawk-wearing Gremlin leader arrives as part of MultiVersus Season 1 and is an Assassin class character with a moveset that highlights his unruly and rambunctious nature. Stripe’s abilities are as featured in a newly revealed gameplay trailer showing off his claw attacks, as well as a range of weapons that can be used to strike fear in challengers, including a buzzsaw, chainsaw, dynamite and even a skateboard. He can also briefly attach himself to opponents to avoid hits and cause damage of his own. The Combat Stripe character variant is available now for in-game purchase.
