iHeartRadioWarner Bros. announces Smash-like fighter MultiVersus
Warner Bros. has announced MultiVersus, a Super Smash Bros-like fighter that brings together characters from various WB-owned properties like Justice League, Adventure Time, Looney Tunes, Scooby Doo, and Game of Thrones. The game is set to release in 2022 for consoles and PC, and will be free-to-play.
MultiVersus will support 1v1, 2v2, and 4-player free-for-all matches, set on stages themed around the characters available in the game. A partial roster has been revealed, with more characters to be announced, and each one will be voiced by familiar actors, such as Kevin Conroy as Batman, John DiMaggio as Jake the Dog, and even Maisie Williams as Arya Stark.
The currently announced roster includes Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Harley Quinn, Shaggy, Bugs Bunny, Arya Stark, Jake the Dog, Finn the Human, Steven Universe, Garnet, Tom and Jerry, and Reindog, an original character debuting in MultiVersus. Along with unique ability sets, each character will get customization through perk loadouts, skins, and emotes.
As a free-to-play game, MultiVersus will be supported by in-game purchases. What those purchases are remain to be seen, but the trailer shows what appears to be a battle pass system that’s likely to include cosmetics.
The game will support cross play and cross progression across all of its supported platforms, which include PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Series S & X, and PC.
