MultiVersus developers acknowledge fan demands for Walter White character addition at EVO 2022
EVO 2022 Champions Spark Walter White Movement
The development team behind MultiVersus has formally acknowledged the growing community campaign requesting Walter White from Breaking Bad as a downloadable combatant, sparked by champions at the EVO 2022 tournament.
MultiVersus dominated the competitive scene at EVO 2022, where winners NAKAT and Void leveraged their championship platform to advocate for the inclusion of Walter White from Breaking Bad into the character roster.
Despite being in its early development phase, MultiVersus has already revealed several surprising fighter additions including LeBron James and Rick & Morty, who will battle alongside established Warner Bros icons like Bugs Bunny and Batman.
Similar to the character request patterns seen in Super Smash Bros Ultimate, the MultiVersus community has been vocal about desired roster additions, with Walter White emerging as the most prominently requested combatant.
During EVO 2022, competitor NAKAT directly appealed to the development team to incorporate Walter White, prompting an indirect response from the MultiVersus creators.

On August 7th, one member of the EVO 2022 championship duo utilized Twitter to petition for the inclusion of the chemistry teacher turned methamphetamine manufacturer in the fighting game lineup.
“Walterwhite4multiversus,” NAKAT declared, generating substantial engagement from supporters who echoed the desire to see the character join the battle arena.

Throughout the EVO tournament, including during live broadcasts, numerous instances occurred where enthusiasts and competitors advocated for the Breaking Bad protagonist to become downloadable content, indicating developer awareness of the movement.
Community members observed that the official competitive MultiVersus Twitter account endorsed NAKAT’s post through liking the tweet, demonstrating recognition of fan interest in the Heisenberg persona as potential DLC.
Walter White presents unique gameplay possibilities with his scientific background potentially translating into chemical-based attacks and trap mechanics. His character arc from mild-mannered teacher to criminal mastermind offers rich material for special moves and ultimate abilities that could introduce strategic depth to MultiVersus combat.
Developer Engagement and Community Response
As a massive Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul fan, I would not say no to this.
Additionally, in early August, Senior MultiVersus character designer Dan Eder expressed his personal desire to see Walter White included in the game. Responding to fan-created concept art he stated, “As a massive Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul fan, I would not say no to this.”
The community remains hopeful that Warner Bros. and the development team can secure necessary agreements to officially add Walter White in upcoming content updates, though currently he stands as the most requested potential fighter among players.
Successful character campaigns in fighting games often follow specific patterns: sustained social media pressure, prominent community figures championing the cause, and developer recognition through official channels. The Walter White movement has demonstrated all three elements, increasing its likelihood of serious consideration.
For fans looking to amplify their voice, strategic social media engagement using consistent hashtags, creating and sharing concept art, and participating in official surveys represent the most effective methods to capture developer attention for character requests.
Future Possibilities and Implementation Challenges
The path from fan request to playable character involves complex licensing negotiations, particularly for intellectual property outside Warner Bros’ direct ownership. Breaking Bad rights holders may have concerns about character portrayal in a fighting game context.
Character implementation would require careful balancing between authentic representation and appropriate gameplay integration. Walter White’s abilities would need to reference his signature traits while maintaining the game’s combat integrity and avoiding overly violent or inappropriate themes for the game’s rating.
If successful, Walter White could pioneer a new category of realistic fictional characters in crossover fighting games, potentially opening doors for other dramatic television protagonists. His addition would significantly expand MultiVersus’ cultural reach beyond animation and film franchises.
