Happy Thursday, gamers! Just one more day and you'll be able to kick your feet up and relax with plenty of time to play some video games. You'll also have plenty of time to make sure you've completed the pre-season Battle Pass for MultiVersus as it's been announced that Season 1 has been delayed along with the introduction of Morty.
It's not all bad news though, as Square Enix has revealed the release date for Tactics Ogre: Reborn, and Beyond Good and Evil 2 has some more talent on board as it has snagged a new lead writer who previously worked on Saints Row. Read on if you want to know more.
MultiVersus Delays Season 1
Player First Games has announced that it has delayed Season 1 of MultiVersus to a later date, but assured fans that it remains "dedicated to delivering new and exciting content." As a result, the addition of Morty to the roster has also been pushed back, as it was previously announced the character would drop alongside the start of Season 1. Probably not the news most MultiVersus fans wanted, but at least we'll have more time to complete the current Battle Pass which has been extended to August 15.

Lady Gaga Confirmed For Joker Sequel, Appears To Be Harley Quinn

Saints Row Owner Koch Media Changes Name To Plaion After 28 Years
Finally, Saints Row owner Koch Media had a big announcement to make today, revealing that it will be changing its name to Plaion after 28 years. Koch Media/Plaion owns several big-name studios and franchises like Saints Row, Metro, Dead Island, Wasteland, and Shenmue. So that means if you see a logo you've never seen before when Saints Row releases, it's just because Koch Media has decided to do a Meta and change its name for seemingly no reason.
