Warner’s Super Smash Bros. clone with Warner and DC universe characters unveiled its gameplay prematurely.

Indeed, the video’s quality is not the best (and we’re not saying it because the resolution is only 720p, which could be due to the Russian equivalent of Facebook, VKontakte!). However, we still received a glimpse into the gameplay openly inspired by one of the most successful Nintendo IPs (as it’s safe to say that Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is one of the Nintendo Switch killer apps).

Back in mid-November, when the game got announced without any further details, we wrote the following about MultiVersus: “MultiVersus will be a free-to-play, 2v2 platform fighter that combines “an ever-expanding cast of iconic characters and legendary universes.” It will feature full cross-play support (cross-progression), dedicated server-based rollback netcode, and “content-filled seasons.” The game’s website has the pre-registration open.

Here’s Warner’s overview of the game: “MultiVersus will showcase a variety of beloved heroes and personalities to team up with or compete against in epic battles, including Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and Harley Quinn (DC Super Heroes & DC Super-Villains); Shaggy (Scooby-Doo); Bugs Bunny (Looney Tunes); Arya Stark (Game of Thrones); Tom and Jerry (Tom and Jerry); Jake the Dog and Finn the Human (Adventure Time); Steven Universe and Garnet (Steven Universe); an extraordinary original creature named Reindog; and many more to come.

Featuring matches with a strong emphasis on online cooperative gameplay, every fighter will be outfitted with a deep set of combat mechanics that distinguish the game’s fresh take on two-versus-two gameplay. It allows combatants to boast customizable movesets that combine dynamically with other characters as they battle for supremacy. From Wonder Woman and her Lasso of Truth attack being unexpectedly paired with Shaggy and his sandwich projectile to Arya Stark’s face-swapping ability being used to complement Superman’s laser vision, the impossible can become possible through surprising team combinations and matchups. The game’s fun-filled multiplayer bouts can be set against the backdrop of various reimagined environments from awe-inspiring worlds, such as Batman’s Batcave, Jake and Finn’s Tree Fort and many others. MultiVersus will also include intense one-versus-one clashes and a four-player free-for-all mode where only one fighter can come out on top.”

MultiVersus will launch in 2022 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
