Warner Bros-themed fighting game for PC
Multiversus is a free-to-play action title for PC developed by Warner Bros. Games. It is a Warner Bros-themed fighting game that revolves around 2v2 team battles. It features a roster of characters consisting of the company’s various media properties and franchises across cartoons and live-action TV shows.
Just like with Brawlhalla or Gang Beasts, Multiversus is a platform fighter that takes cues from the immense popularity of Super Smash Bros. on the Nintendo Switch. What makes it stand out is that the fact that it features characters from beloved shows like Looney Tunes and various entities from DC Comics.
What is it?
Multiversus is what would happen if Warner Bros pooled its resources and decided to create a platform fighter akin to Super Smash Bros or Brawlhalla. As you would imagine, the company has a lot of media properties and franchises across various mediums, and some of them will be making an appearance in the game, including Bugs Bunny, Batman, and others. Even Arya Stark from Game of Thrones will be here.
When it comes to gameplay, Multiversus takes plenty of cues from Super Smash Bros and its mechanics. You will get three modes to choose from, 1v1, 2v2, and a free-for-all battle royale. Similarly, you will be fighting in various stages, with the goal of knocking opponents out of the boundaries of the arena. The further you knock them out, the more damage they will take.
One nice thing about the game is that it supports cross-play, meaning you’ll be able to connect and play with friends regardless of what platform you play it on. Based on recent news, it seems that there is still some time left to wait before it officially comes out, though. It has a rather vague and tentative release date sometime in 2022.
Potentially great
At the surface, it seems that there are plenty of interesting things to expect with Multiversus as it might just be the real Super Smash Bros. equivalent that PC gamers have been hoping for. As for right now, though, there isn’t much info about it outside of a few press materials and the preview trailer to really tell. Nevertheless, this is one to keep tabs on for further updates.
