Warner Bros. Games launched the open beta for MultiVersus today. This is their new free-to-play "platform fighter" from Player First Games. It's now available in the Americas, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand as an open beta. Players in these regions can download the game on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. There is full cross-play support and dedicated server-based rollback netcode, which I hear is all the rage in the fighting game community.
MultiVersus includes a number of WB owned characters such as Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Harly Quinn, Shaggy and Velma (Scooby-Doo), Bugs Bunny and Tasmanian Devil (Looney Toons), LeBron James (Space Jam: A New Legacy), and tons more.
The game's main focus is on 2v2 battles with each character having their own set of skills, strengths, and weaknesses. There are also 1v1 matches, a 4-player free-for-all, matches against the AI, custom online lobbies, a practice mode, tutorials, and local play for up to four people.
MultiVersus brings together a variety of beloved heroes and personalities to team up with or compete against in epic battles, including Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and Harley Quinn (DC); Shaggy and Velma (Scooby-Doo); Bugs Bunny and Tasmanian Devil a.k.a. Taz (Looney Tunes); Arya Stark (Game of Thrones); Tom & Jerry (Tom and Jerry); Jake the Dog and Finn the Human (Adventure Time); Steven Universe and Garnet (Steven Universe); Iron Giant (The Iron Giant); LeBron James (Space Jam: A New Legacy); Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith (Rick and Morty); an extraordinary original creature named Reindog; and many more to come.
Featuring matches with a strong focus on cooperative gameplay, every fighter is outfitted with a deep set of combat mechanics that distinguish the game’s fresh take on 2 vs. 2 gameplay. This allows combatants to boast customizable movesets that combine dynamically with other characters as they battle for supremacy. From Wonder Woman and her Lasso of Truth attack unexpectedly paired with Shaggy and his sandwich projectile, to Arya Stark’s face-swapping ability complementing Superman’s laser vision, the impossible can become possible through surprising team combinations and matchups.
Players have a number of ways to experience MultiVersus, including the 2 vs. 2 team-based cooperative mode, 1 vs. 1 matches, 4-player free-for-all, co-op vs. A.I. matches, custom online lobbies, The Lab (practice mode), tutorials, and local play matches supporting up to four competitors. The game’s fun filled multiplayer bouts can be set against the backdrop of various reimagined environments from awe-inspiring worlds, such as the Batcave (DC), Tree Fort (Adventure Time), Scooby’s Haunted Mansion (Scooby-Doo), Sky Arena (Steven Universe), and other recognizable locales.
