Back to the Past
Back to the Past is an available Map in MultiVersus hailing from the Samurai Jack Universe. It was released alongside Season 4 on November 12th, 2024. It has 2 variations.
Origin
This map is based on Jack's Japanese birth town. The "past-to-future" transition phase is a reference to how, in the series, Jack gets transported into the future by Aku and has to get "back to the past" in order to stop the great demon from ruling the world. The scenery in the future looks more decrepit compared to the past as to show the destruction caused by Aku. The giant tree that can also be seen in the future comes from the show's finale.

Layout
Default
"The Past" form of the map consists of two small bodies connected by a bridge the can be passed trough by players similarly to a floating platform. The map will occasionally transition to "The Future" form, in which the bridge is completely missing, and three more platforms are added to the layout, two on the right side, and one on the left side's wall. The map will then transition into "The Past" form again and repeat the cycle.
If hazards are turned off, then the map will remain in its "Past" form indefinitely. The bridge will also act as solid ground, meaning Fighters can no longer pass through it.
The Future
In this variation, only "The Future" form of the default map is playable.
