What is MultiVersus?
MultiVersus is a free-to-play crossover fighting game that will pretty much remind you of Super Smash Bros. Instead of Nintendo characters going against each other, however, you have the iconic characters from the Warner Bros. Discovery catalog. We will get to the roster of characters in a short while.
Similar to Smash, the goal of the game is for you to knock your opponents outside the boundaries of your selected arena. There will be different stages available that you can choose from.
The primary mode of play is the 2-vs-2 format. However, a 1-vs-1 format as well as a free-for-all format is likewise available.
MultiVersus will be released on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Microsoft Windows.
