Who do you think would win in a fight between Batman and Bugs Bunny? How about Steven Universe and Garnet going against Tom and Jerry? Looks like we’ll be getting the answers from the newest platform-fighter MultiVersus. This free-to-play game offers a team-based 2v2 format with a pool of iconic characters and legendary universes.
Scheduled to be released in 2022, MultiVersus is coming to PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S.
Players can look forward to seeing some truly interesting characters in epic battles like:
- Batman
- Superman
- Wonder Woman
- Harley Quinn
- Shaggy
- Bugs Bunny
- Arya Stark
- Tom and Jerry
- Jake the Dog and Finn the Human
- Steven Universe and Garnet
- Reindog (original character)
Compared to other games in the same genre, MultiVersus hopes to offer something new as it puts focus on online cooperative gameplay. Each fighter comes with a deep set of combat mechanics to have a fresh take on the 2v2 gameplay. With this, fighters can have customizable movesets which work well with other fighters in a dynamic manner.
For those of you wondering how that works, imagine Wonder Woman using the Lasso of Truth and doing a combo with Shaggy and his sandwich projectile. Another combination would be the face-swapping ability of Arya Stark, which complements the Man of Steel’s laser vision.
In addition to the cool characters, players can also have the fights set in some familiar backdrops like the Batcave and Jake and Finn’s Tree Fort.
Making the game even more exciting is the all-star cast that lent their voices to the game. These include:
- Kevin Conroy (Batman: The Animated Series, Batman: Arkham series) as Batman
- George Newbern (Justice League vs. the Fatal Five, Injustice 2) as Superman
- Abby Trott (Carmen Sandiego) as Wonder Woman
- Tara Strong (Batman Ninja, Batman: Arkham series) as Harley Quinn
- Matthew Lillard (Scooby-Doo) as Shaggy
- Eric Bauza (Looney Tunes Cartoons) as Bugs Bunny and Tom and Jerry
- Maisie Williams (Game of Thrones) as Arya Stark
- John DiMaggio (Adventure Time) as Jake the Dog
- Jeremy Shada (Adventure Time) as Finn the Human
- Daniel DiVenere (Spirit Riding Free) as Steven Universe
