MultiVersus: Release date, trailers, gameplay, and more

digitaltrends.com:

With the final DLC all wrapped up for the Super Smash Bros. franchise, at least for the foreseeable future, the competition for mascot fighters has opened up for some unexpected franchises to take a shot at filling that space. There have always been Smash clones out there, but none with the same polish and roster of iconic characters as what Nintendo could deliver. The most recent attempt that had a lot of potential was the flawed, but fun, Nickelodeon: All-Star Brawl, which featured a roster of Nick’s most beloved characters duking it out. However, a new challenger has stepped in with an even more impressive, or maybe ridiculous, roster ready to rumble.

MultiVersus is Warner Bros.’ effort to draw from its huge catalogue of characters, from comics to cartoons and movies, and create a platform fighter to go head to head with Smash. While the final product will have to speak for itself, based on what we’ve been shown so far, there’s a decent chance this fighter could, at the very least, be a fun alternative for anyone who has already sunk dozens of hours into Smash. If you want to know everything about this crossover fighting game, here’s all the data we could collect on the upcoming MultiVersus.

There’s no specific release date set for MultiVersus just yet, only that it will be coming in 2022. However, we do know that an open beta will be held in July of 2022, hopefully signaling that the game will be ready not long after.

MultiVersus will be hitting most major platforms, current and last gen, when it launches, including: PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and S, as well as PC. The only players left out, ironically enough, are Switch players.
