If you want to know everything about the WB crossover fightinggame where Shaggy can fight Batman, here's everything we know about the upcoming MultiVersus.
With the final DLC all wrapped up for the Super Smash Bros. franchise, at least for the foreseeable future, the competition for mascot fighters has opened up for some unexpected franchises to take a shot at filling that space. There have always been Smash clones out there, but none with the same polish and roster of iconic characters as what Nintendo could deliver.
Platforms MultiVersus will be hitting most major platforms, current and last gen, when it launches, including: PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and S, as well as PC. The only players left out, ironically enough, are Switch players. Gameplay Now, the problem most Smash clones have always had is straying too far from the formula set by that game, aka PlayStation All Stars: Battle Royale. With MultiVersus, though, developers appear to be trying to make the game as mechanically close to Smash as possible. You will attack your foes to increase the number below them, which will make subsequent hits send them farther and farther off the stage until they can’t make it back on or hit a barrier and are eliminated.
Along with just their classes, you can also customize your characters in tons of ways. Costumes are the obvious one, with a few shown being Black Lantern Superman and “Bruce Lee” Shaggy, but every character also has an in-depth perk system. There are perks for Offense, Defense, Utility, and Unique abilities. These can be swapped around to further tune your character how you like, but the unlock process, if any, for them hasn’t been shared as of yet.
Fighting game fans will also be happy to hear that MultiVersus will not suffer the same online troubles as Smash. Not only will the game have dedicated servers, but they’ll also feature the vastly superior rollback netcode as opposed to delay-based, which causes far more de-sync issues in fighting games. On top of that, matches will be easy to get thanks to it being a fully crossplay game, and it will also have cross-progression if you want to move between platforms.
Multiplayer The bigger question here is how much content in MultiVersus isn’t multiplayer. We already stated that the game is designed for 2v2, but also allows 1v1 and four-player free for all, but no specific modes outside of the standard have been shown. We do know there will at least be ranked playlists for those looking to take the game more seriously, but for the moment, that’s all we know.
