Team up with your friends in Warner Bros.'s MultiVersus!

A few days ago, Warner Bros announced MultiVersus, a free-to-play platform fighting game that stars various Warner Bros. properties duking it out against each other ala Super Smash Bros. and Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl.

As stated in the announcement trailer, the focus of the game is teamwork. Each character has a unique ability that can help their teammate in the fight. For example some examples, Batman can drop a smoke-bomb to hide himself and his teammate from the opponent's view, and Bug Bunny can dig a hole that his teammates can use to get around the battlefield. That being said, there are modes dedicated to one-on-one, as well as free-for-all fights. Character profiles on the main website also implies that there will be a story mode, with the heroes - and Harley - heading off to stop a threat only referred to as "The Nothing."

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.
