If you want to know everything about the WB crossover fighting game where Shaggy can fight Batman, here's everything we know about the upcoming MultiVersus.

As for what would be coming in the future, that’s easy: More characters, stages, and costumes. The gold coins are earned in game by playing, and we assume the gems are the paid-for, premium type of currency. We already know that the game will launch with two forms of currency: Some type of gold and gems. We do know there will at least be ranked playlists for those looking to take the game more seriously, but for the moment, that’s all we know. On top of that, matches will be easy to get thanks to it being a fully cross-play game, as well as have cross-progression if you want to move between platforms. The current lineup, along with their voice actor, is: Along with just their classes, you can also customize your characters in tons of ways. A full movelist isn’t released, but it looks like there will be basically everything you expect in a Smash clone, such as double jumps, different attack types, projectiles, shielding, dodging, and charging energy. Game director Tony Huynh stated that “MultiVersus emphasizes teamwork and social play with an ever-expanding diverse cast of characters that you know and love… Now, the problem most Smash clones have always had is straying too far from the formula set by that game, aka PlayStation All Stars: Battle Royale. With MultiVersus, though, developers appear to be trying to make the game as close mechanically to Smash as possible. All the combatants eventually collide in a massive dust cloud as none other than Superman descends from the sky. There’s no specific release date set for MultiVersus just yet, only that it will be coming in 2022.

Also known as "the game where Batman thinks Bugs Bunny is about to pull a gun on Arya Stark."

Of course, no one needs any reason to want to murder the Tasmanian Devil at any time. For instance, while I might be losing my mind over Batman’s clear concern that the anthropomorphic rabbit who has suddenly appeared before him might be pulling a loaded firearm from some hidden recess, the Dark Knight needs to have some reason to battle Bugs Bunny, just like Arya Stark needs to take offense at Batman’s unwarranted antagonism and decide to murder Shaggy’s sandwich in retribution so they can all square off. And yet, we’re all forced to reckon with this very real new trailer for MultiVersus, the WB’s upcoming, Super Smash Bros.-esque brawler in which every moment feels like a purposeful assault on reason and sanity.

MultiVersus' official cinematic trailer is all about team-ups, as characters from diverse Warner Bros. properties are thrown into a shared multiverse.

If it were up to them, the Iron Giant would not be a part of any title that forces it to engage in combat or violence. This way, it could be appreciated that they are able to play as Iron Giant in MultiVersus. This has irked fans who know this is what the original character was opposed to, and many believe its inclusion in MultiVersus to also be grossly misrepresentative of the character’s morals.

This game is the Warner Bros version of Smash Brothers. The trailer showed off the initial roster in a fun reveal. Many will be looking to play the game and get ...

The one great thing it has going for it is that the Multiversus cost will be free to play on launch and cross-play. The game was a good fighter but missed some of the mainline appeal due to many not feeling like it was complete. This was a big draw for the game as fans had always wanted to fight with characters like Aang from Avatar, Spongebob and so many more.

Warner Bros. finally has a Super Smash Bros. to call their own.

But it more or less looks exactly like Super Smash Bros., with characters flying all over a memorable WB setting, like the Batcave, and button-mashing their way to victory. You know, the one where Batman stabs Bugs Bunny with a bat-a-rang and breaks every bone in his little body. For the Multiversus’ trailer, they’ve pulled out some serious ringers, including Superman, Batman, Bugs Bunny, Shaggy (who goes Super Sayian and becomes Ultra Instinct Shaggy, which is a thing we’re all just going to have to live with), Taz, Tom & Jerry, Wonder Woman, Steven Universe, Araya Stark, something called Reindog, Adventure Time’s Jake and Finn, Garnet, Harley Quinn, and, of course, Velma Dinkley, who better be wearing her friggin’ glasses strap.

Warner Bros. has released a suitably ridiculous new cinematic trailer for its Smash-Bros-like free-to-play crossover br…

We want to make Eurogamer better, and that means better for our readers - not for algorithms.
