The game currently has 13 playable characters, with more fighters planned to be released later on. Along with recognizable icons like Bugs Bunny and Batman, we also have an original character made for the game named ReinDog, who's homeworld was the first to get attacked by "The Nothing."
Norville "Shaggy" Rogers going Super Saiyan. Yes, you read that correctly. |
Perhaps one of the surprising addition is Shaggy. While he has a few elements that are inspired from the Scooby-Doo series - such as pulling out a sandwich to hit foes with - most of his moves appear to be inspired by the "Ultra Instinct Shaggy" internet meme that's been floating around. (And - perhaps to further empathize this, Shaggy's reveal has him easily defeat Superman, as well as enter a Super Saiyan-state like Dragon Ball's main character, Goku.)
Although working together, the cat-n-mouse duo will be fighting each other just as much as they are fighting their foes. |
The trailer also reveals that alternate costumes will be in the game, such as Tom & Jerrry dressed as cowboys, or Batman resembling how he looks in 2992's iconic Batman: The Animated Series cartoon show. Voice Acting will be included as well, and many of the characters have their familiar voice actors, like Batman being voiced by Kevin Conroy, or Shaggy being voiced by Matthew Lillard.
MultiVersus is planning to be released sometime next year in 2022 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. You can watch the official trailer here! You can also sign up to be a playtester here at the bottom of the game's official website.
