Forward of the relaunch of MultiVersus and its first actual season, Participant First Video games confirmed Jason Voorhees from Friday the thirteenth can be becoming a member of as one of many new playable characters alongside the Joker. Whereas there’s loads of enthusiasm for his inclusion, one factor Jason’s followers can’t appear to agree on is his design, which is noticeably… chunky.

Jason has been portrayed by a number of actors all through the assorted Friday the thirteenth motion pictures, and has at all times been this huge, looming determine, sometimes depicted as being over six ft tall. He’s nonetheless distinctly recognizable in MultiVersus, however he’s now cartoonishly prime heavy, with arms larger than his head. His design was really leaked by Twitter person Fumo Leaks previous to the official reveal, and whereas there’s no correct gameplay footage of him but, his transient look within the cinematic season one trailer wound up corroborating the leak.

Wanting by way of reactions on Twitter, a number of individuals have in contrast Jason’s design to that of a big stuffed teddy bear with a tiny head. Loads of others initially wrote off the unique leak as faux due to how ridiculous they felt the design seemed, whereas some have decried that he’s “not Jason” and “seems silly.”

Nonetheless, there are simply as many which can be in love with how cartoonishly large Jason is, or no less than simply discover it very humorous and never value getting mad over. A few of my favorite feedback embody one describing him as being “constructed like a fridge” and one which questions if Jason ate the Camp Crystal lake to get that large. The frequent comparisons to the Kingpin from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse are hilarious too.

Personally, I do assume the MultiVersus design is a bit over-the-top, although I get the logic behind it. Jason’s an enormous man, and the workforce clearly wished to emphasize that, however it most likely might’ve been finished with out radically enlarging his proportions. Regardless, getting an icon like Jason into the sport might get extra individuals to take a look at MultiVersus when it launches on Might 28.
