It’s an idea so simple, it only seems strange this hasn’t already happened. Warner Bros. is introducing a new player v. player fighting game, MultiVersus, featuring iconic characters from across its numerous properties.
If you’ve played Nintendo’s Super Smash Bros, MultiVersus looks like the same concept, only with WB characters. Expect to see (and fight as) characters from the DC universe, Scooby Doo, Adventure Time, Game of Thrones, Looney Tunes, and more.
Take a first look at the gameplay below.
MultiVersus will support 1v1, 2v2, and 4-player free-for-all matches. Players will duke it out in familiar locations like the Batcave and Jake and Finn’s Treefort. Plus, many of the original voice actors behind the player characters will lend their voices to the game. So far, the playable characters in MultiVersus include:
- Batman, voiced by Kevin Conroy
- Superman, voiced by George Newbern
- Wonder Woman, voiced by Abby Trott
- Harley Quinn, voiced by Tara Strong
- Shaggy (Scooby-Doo), voiced by Matthew Lillard
- Bugs Bunny (Looney Tunes), voiced by Eric Bauza
- Arya Stark (Game of Thrones), voiced by Maisie Williams
- Jake the Dog (Adventure Time), voiced by John DiMaggio
- Finn the Human (Adventure Time), voiced by Jeremy Shada
- Steven Universe, voiced by Daniel DiVenere
- Garnet (Steven Universe), voiced by Estelle
- Tom and Jerry, voiced by Eric Bauza
- Reindog (an original character for MultiVersus), voiced by Andrew Frankel
Similar to Smash Bros, each of these characters will have unique abilities in the game, which is set to launch in 2022.
MultiVersus will be free-to-play on PC and various consoles. As such, it will be supported by in-game purchases. Warner Bros. has yet to elaborate on what those in-game purchases might look like. But we would guess you’ll shell out for things like special player skins, new fighting arenas, and maybe even power upgrades or different playable characters.
So, the only question left to ask is… who’s your fighter?
Let us know in the comments below who your starting player in MultiVersus will be – and which WB characters you want to see the game add later on.
