After being announced back in May, the 2D crossover brawler from Warner Bros. Games’ MultiVersus is now in open beta ahead of it’s release. Similar to Super Smash Bros., MultiVersus brings characters from multiple universes into one game to fight it out. With the launch of the open beta comes the announcement of Lebron James joining the roster and Rick and Morty joining in the near-future.
MultiVersus throws Batman, Iron Giant, and WB icons into Smash Bros-style fighter
MultiVersus is not something I expected to write about in 2022…or ever. We already have Super Smash Bros., but that’s really just a mash-up of Nintendo universes, while MultiVersus is… different? You’ll find iconic characters from quite a few universes here, including Tom and Jerry, Steven Universe, Batman, Superman, and even The Iron Giant in this unique 2v2 mash-up. Can WB pull off MultiVersus? As a free-to-play game with built-in crossplay, co-op support, and more, they might have a hit on their hands, even if I do think it’s the weirdest lineup of characters in gaming right now.
