    Warner Bros. Games and Player First Games just released MultiVersus to the world. Yes, this platform fighting game is actually out this time and isn't considered an "open beta."

    MultiVersus is a free-to-play platform fighter that brings together some very familiar characters from the numerous intellectual properties owned by Warner Bros. The game is out today on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via both Steam and the Epic Game Store. There is full cross-play and cross-progression support in MultiVersus.

    MultiVersus launched alongside Season 1: Puns & Villainy. This season will bring new fighters to the roster including The Joker, Friday the 13th's Jason Voorhees, Banana Guard from Adventure Time, and Agent Smith from The Matrix films.

    Today's launch includes a new PvE game mode called Rifts. The core of the game still focuses on PvP matches.


    The Joker (DC), Jason Voorhees (Friday the 13th), Banana Guard (Adventure Time), and Agent Smith (The Matrix) join the lineup of Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Harley Quinn, and Black Adam; Shaggy and Velma (Scooby-Doo); Bugs Bunny, Tasmanian Devil a.k.a. Taz, and Marvin the Martian (Looney Tunes); Arya Stark (Game of Thrones); Tom & Jerry (Tom and Jerry); Finn the Human and Jake the Dog (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); Gizmo and Stripe (Gremlins); and an extraordinary original creature named Reindog, to round out the current roster, with more fighters to be added as part of future seasonal updates.

    MultiVersus can be enjoyed in a variety of ways and launches with a range of modes available online and locally. Rifts features a PvE experience with boss fights, mini-games, and unique rewards, while serving as a way for players to learn mechanics, test characters, and sharpen skills, whether playing solo or cooperatively online with a friend. MultiVersus can also be enjoyed via the 2 vs. 2 team-based cooperative mode, 1 vs. 1 matches, 4-player free-for-all, co-op vs. A.I., custom online lobbies, The Lab (practice mode), tutorials, and local play matches supporting up to four competitors.

    The dynamically changing Dexter’s Laboratory map and the City of Townsville map, which incorporates the The Powerpuff Girls main villain, Mojo Jojo, are accompanied by the Batcave (DC), Tree Fort (Adventure Time), Scooby’s Haunted Mansion (Scooby-Doo), Sky Arena (Steven Universe), and other available locales for players.

    In MultiVersus, every fighter is outfitted with a deep set of combat mechanics, coupled with improved visuals and lighting that put a strong emphasis on the characters to bring players closer to the action on the screen. The game also utilizes a tailor-made rollback netcode to support online play and matchmaking.

    Additionally, MultiVersus features top talent lending their voices to the game including, Mark Hamill (Batman: Arkham videogame series, Batman: The Animated Series) as The Joker, Kevin Conroy (Batman: Arkham series, Batman: The Animated Series), Tara Strong (Batman: Arkham series) as Harley Quinn, George Newbern (Injustice 2 videogame) as Superman, Maisie Williams (Game of Thrones) as Arya Stark, Matthew Lillard (Scooby-Doo) as Shaggy, Estelle (Steven Universe) as Garnet, and many others.​
