Rick Sanchez ofRick and Mortyis the next character to joinMultiVersusand the new fighter’s cost in gold has now been confirmed. Rick has been known about as an upcomingMultiVersusfighter for some time, as he was announced alongside Season 1’s debut character Morty. The release ofGremlinsprotagonist Gizmo threw the ordering out of place, though, and Rick’s release became unclear. Now Rick has been re-confirmed, andMultiVersusplayers are likely wondering how much gold they need to save.
MultiVersusfighter pricing is entirely dependent on a classification assigned based on the character’s difficulty to play. There are three different tiers in this classification. The cheapest is the “Recommended” class, which costs 1,500 gold. This class is for charactersPlayer First Gamesthinks are best to pick up and play with. The second class has no name. It’s for standard-difficulty characters and costs 2,000 gold. The final class is “Expert” and is for the most complicated and challenging-to-play characters. Expert class characters cost 3,000 gold.

Tony Huynh, thegame director forMultiVersus, answered a question about how much Rick would cost on Twitter. He noted that it was a frequent question amongMultiVersusplayers, and confirmed that Rick will receive an Expert classification. That means that Rick will cost a healthy 3,000 gold coins to unlock.MultiVersusplayers best start saving now.
Gold inMultiVersuscan be earned in multiple ways, but the basic idea is the more someone plays the more gold they’ll earn. Each individual match will reward a small amount of gold, but it accrues fast. The total earnedMultiVersusgoldearned also goes up 30% when playing with a friend. Extra gold can also be earned if other players give you Toast, which rewards 20 gold per Toast. Earning battle pass levels can reward caches of 250 gold. Then there’s 100 gold for each character raised to level 5.
Rick being an Expert-class character was actually confirmed some time ago. Huynh had previously confirmed that bothRick and Mortywould be Expert level. Since Rick was delayed for Gizmo, however, it was worth re-confirming that Rick hadn’t been changed due to the delay.
As for whyRick is an Expert character, players will have to find out for themselves. He likely features a mix of ranged and utility abilities that will require a good amount of practice to get used to. Pricing him at 3,000 will then ensure Rick isn’t quickly accessed by new players that may grow frustrated with the game due to Rick’s complexity. Fans can expect a deeper dive into Rick’s abilities from Player First Games soon, though he does not have a firm release date yet.
MultiVersusis available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
