Warner Bros. Games announces the beta test for
MultiVersus is now open to
all. PC and console gamers can find all they need to get started on the
MultiVersus Website. This includes full
crossplay support and rollback netcode "for robust online competition." The game
is free-to-play, but multiple levels of Founder's Packs are available for sale.
There's also a Preseason Battle pass that includes a free option. Season 1 is
expected to officially launch on August 9th, basically making this a soft
launch. Have you ever wondered if Arya Stark could beat up LeBron James? Of
course not, nobody has. But word is this multi-genre brawler will answer that
and many other questions:
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.
