MultiVersus officially announced with a trailer
MultiVersus exists, the official announcement finally arrived today from Warner Bros. complete with a presentation trailer in which it is introduced by the developers and it is obviously a multiplayer action fighting game that incorporates the classic style of Smash Bros. But with all the intellectual property of the company in question.MultiVersus will be released in 2022 as free-to-play on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X | S with cross-play, including a huge roster in crossover composed of all the various intellectual properties belonging to Warner Bros., including therefore also that of DC Comics and the various animated cartoons, as well as films and TV series including Game of Thrones.
Cross-play also provides for the cross progression between various platforms, which therefore allows you to access it freely from practically all the various platforms, among which, curiously, Nintendo Switch is missing. Among the most famous characters we see Batman, Shaggy, Superman, Bugs Bunny and many others, but we can expect a truly huge cast.
The game is structured as a fighting game with platform elements that takes place within various Multi-level arenas and movable elements, with fights taking place using each character's special characteristics and abilities, as well as moves that can be performed cooperatively between multiple characters.
The appearance and structure they seem very close to Smash Bros., with a truly charismatic cast. Furthermore, free access as free-to-play could provide a really broad base for a game of this type. It is not the first time that this title is spoken of, as various rumors had emerged in recent days, including some images of the crossover fighting game and the trademark registered by Warner Bros.

WB MultiVersus Fighting Game Confirmed After Teasers
After weeks of rumors and speculation--also known as unfortunate leaks--Warner Bros. Games has officially unveiled MultiVersus, a new platform fighter starring many familiar faces.
The reveal trailer, hosted by Player First Games' co-founder and game director Tony Huynh, details the game's focus on online team-based competitive play, with a 2v2 format being at the forefront. There will be other modes like 1v1 or four-player free-for-alls offered as well for those who prefer solo competition.
The roster includes many iconic characters from across the Warner Bros. portfolio, including Batman and Superman from DC Comics, Arya Stark from Game of Thrones, Finn and Jake from Adventure Time, and Shaggy from Scooby-Doo. Shaggy, most importantly, is fully equipped with Ultra Instinct powers--bringing the meme to life for the first time outside of a cameo--as well as a projectile move where he throws a sandwich.
MultiVersus will also feature a full voice cast with many of the characters' original actors, including Matthew Lillard as Shaggy, Maisie Williams as Arya Stark, Kevin Conroy as Batman, and John Dimaggio as Jake the Dog. The roster is not complete either, as Huynh confirms more characters are coming before the game's launch. For example, a recent leak showed Rick Sanchez from Rick and Morty among the cast, but he is not in the initial trailer.
'MultiVersus is a dream project for our team at Player First Games, and we're excited to officially reveal the game,' Huynh said in the official press release. 'We've built MultiVersus from the ground up to be a cooperative, social game that embraces teamwork and strategy. We're also focused on providing first class online gameplay through dedicated server-based rollback netcode so that friends and rivals can enjoy a seamless competitive experience as they duke it out with our diverse roster of characters.'
MultiVersus is scheduled for release in 2022 on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC, with 'full cross-play support, dedicated server-based rollback netcode and content-filled seasons' promised. Every character revealed so far, and their voice actor, is listed below.
