MultiVersus

Will Smash Bros' loyal fans shift to the new game of Multiversus? Let's find out Warner Bros' Multiversus's release date, roster, and more!

So don’t be a “baka” and go, register for the closed alphas. Multiversus will be able to capture the attention of the people and it’ll be a more modern and refined take on an old classic. The effort shows through the rough edges of the game right now. However, who cares about the social rules and stuff? Players will be able to play the open beta anyway, and the final release will become inconsequential. That doesn’t tell you anything about the games that we’re talking about, but it sounds cool.

Giving players an experience that combines the competitive fun of a Super Smash Bros.-style fighting game with Warner Bros.' iconic characters, it's time to ...

The official MultiVersus website is presently accepting applications for a closed alpha, in which a small group of people will be allowed to test the game on their preferred system. The game has a starting roster and a verified closed alpha and opens beta at the time of its announcement. But, now what we do know is that MultiVersus currently has a release date of “2022,” which means that, barring any severe delays, the game will be released in its entirety somewhere in the latter half of this year. With the game having only recently begun closed alpha testing and open beta testing is set to begin in July 2022 at an unspecified time. MultiVersus is a new free-to-play platform fighter in the Super Smash Bros. style that contains playable characters from Warner Bros. properties. It will feature a slew of playable characters from our favorite WB series and movies in the wackiest-looking game ever.

MultiVersus is full of different Warner Bros. characters, ranging from Adventure Time's Finn and Jake to DC's Superman and Wonder Woman. Scooby-Doo is also ...

However, it's worth pointing out that Huynh didn't say that Scooby-Doo wasn't coming to the game, only that the YouTube description is likely a mistake. That being said, The Iron Giant only had one voice line in recent leaks, which led to many believing he was unlikely to appear in the game. Although Scooby-Doo seems like a very obvious pick for the game and is referenced through player icons, he hasn't actually been a part of the various MultiVersus leaks over the past few months.

MultiVersus' closed alpha has arrived, and its community has fallen in love with the newest platform-fighter.

“The dynamics it creates are incredible & absolutely radiates the charm of each character. THRILLED this and the recent trailer is the direction they’re taking! The dynamics it creates are incredible & absolutely radiates the charm of each character. By far the biggest standout is the character interactions & unique dialog that comes with it. “Voice acting, animation, move-sets, replay value, & staying true to characters are all highlights.” Warner Bros’ MultiVersus became available to the public for the first time on May 19, 2022, starting the week-long closed alpha.

MultiVersus is a blast, with several unique spins on tried and true platform fighting mechanics, a smart focus on 2v2 combat, and an absolutely wild roster full ...

There are perks that can be equipped to characters that can slightly bolster their stats and add new properties to moves, but those can only be earned by playing with those characters and leveling up their character specific progression track. In addition to that, Steven can also place a healing zone on the ground that heals both him and his partner, he can put out a bomb that can be picked up by his teammate and delivered to the opponents, and he can shoot out a shield projectile that can grant a teammate armor if it passes through them. Tom and Jerry is one of the most interesting examples, with the player only being in direct control of Tom, but using Jerry as both a projectile and a tool that can be called upon for a variety of other projectiles that can hit from unexpected angles. But the big thing that separates MultiVersus from the rest of the crowd of platform fighters is its 2v2 focus. What this means is that aerial mobility is huge in MultiVersus. There’s no such thing as a character with a bad recovery, because every character has generally the same powerful tools to get back to the stage, and on the flip side of that, every character is also able to be super aggressive off-stage. That alone is enough to grab my attention, but the big question is whether MultiVersus will be able to hold its own with its core gameplay, progression mechanics, and free-to-play monetization plans.

To its credit, MultiVersus has the Super Smash Bros likeness down to a tee, with a grid of Warner Bros character icons to choose from such as, errr, Bugs Bunny!

Still, the fact it all costs nothing at all does help to smooth things out in a different way, and from what I've played so far, I think MultiVersus is a cracking Super Smash Bros-like with strong personality and presentation. Another slight rework to the Smash Bros framework is in the UI. MultiVersus pops each character's damage numbers under their person at all times, where Smash Bros stuck them in a static row at the bottom of the screen. Thing is, being a Smash Bros-style game still ends up invoking tough comparison in terms of gameplay feel, and in the long term this could be where MultiVersus falls down. Win or lose with a certain character and you'll net them EXP. Level them up and you'll earn specific perks that you can equip before a match begins, like "10% more damage in mid-air". It's an odd decision, as fighting games like this often tick because everyone's on a level playing field, especially if you're playing online. While it may be easy to dismiss Multiversus as a mere Smash Bros knock-off, the game does do a decent job of trying to iterate on Nintendo's iconic formula. MultiVersus is Warner Bros' spin on a Super Smash Bros-like that's free-to-play and features an all-star mishmash of franchises: Scooby Doo, Game Of Thrones, Adventure Time. Everyone is here!

Maisie Williams was psyched to voice Arya Stark in a new video game, although talking smack on Bugs Bunny wasn't what she was expecting to do.

Waaaaay back in 1999, Nintendo released a video game called Super Smash Bros., where players could choose from various Nintendo icons and then have them smack the s*it out of each other in a wide selection of Nintendo-themed arenas. Another character who will show up is Arya Stark from Game of Thrones, which is a good choice if you want to have Westeros represented. So when Batman punches Shaggy from Scooby Doo in the face, that’s really Kevin Conroy and Matthew Lillard making the noises.

Heavily noted similarities to "Super Smash Bros." aside, the developers appeared to push for a unique experience overall, especially with a dedicated team mode unlike any fighting games before it. In Webster's experience, the game's "real advantage" over "Smash Bros." was in the F2P model and how the game will feature complete cross-play functionality. Makar reported on the game's emphasis on team building, with each character having a unique ability to buff their teammates attack, defense and other capabilities. Andrew Webster of The Verge wrote that "there's very little that's original" regarding how the game plays, but believed it could become "a big hit" regardless. Critics pointed out the similarities to " Super Smash Bros." at length, but with several gameplay twists that set "MultiVersus" apart from the Nintendo franchise, and even " Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl." Other writers, like GameSpot's Jason Fanelli, similarly wrote that the game could "glimpse at the future of fighting games."

A major esports event has proven that "MultiVersus" will definitely be able to deliver in a way "Smash Bros." can't.

As revealed in a Twitter update from May 12, "MultiVersus" will be holding a 2v2 tournament at EVO, complete with handsome payouts for the best 32 teams. As far as what this all means for "MultiVersus," it seems that a perfect storm may be brewing. The fact that "MultiVersus" will be at EVO is especially notable, considering "Super Smash Bros." will be absent entirely. "MultiVersus" is currently in Closed Alpha testing from May 19 to May 27. A recent announcement from the game's developers and a major esports event have proven that "MultiVersus" will definitely be able to deliver in a way "Smash Bros." can't. For starters, the massive roster including everyone from Wonder Woman to Steven Universe to Ultra Instinct Shaggy and many more is a big draw.

Thus far, our first look at MultiVersus has made us even more excited for the game to come out in full. Even the live-action characters fit surprisingly well with the cast. The game also features a 1v1 and free-for-all mode for more traditional platform fighting fans, but the potential for some tricky and rewarding co-op combos is very enticing. Learning how different characters work is a fun experiment in both understanding the mechanics and seeing if your favorite Steven Universe scene made it into the game. As a free-to-play game, the alpha provides previews of many typical freemium features like a Battle Pass and player experience. The game places a heavy emphasis on 2v2 team matches.

MultiVersus Closed Alpha is now live and there are several ways in which players can get their invite codes to participate in this alpha.

- Currently, MultiVersus offers Xbox (One and Series X If one of your friends has already received a code, they can send invite codes to up to three friends. NOTE: This process does not guarantee you will get a code.
