TheMultiversuscould be happening
Nickelodeon may not be the only brand moving in on the platform fighter genre. New reports are saying aSmash-alike is in the works at Warner Bros., though one noted fighting game studio is reportedlynothandling it.
A thread on ther/GamingLeaksAndRumours subredditinitially pointed to a new crossover platform fighter starring Warner Bros. characters. The original post indicated thatMortal KombatandInjusticestudio NetherRealm Studios was developing it.
GamesBeat’s Jeff Grubbcorroborated the existenceof a Warner Bros. platform fighter, but said it’s not a NetherRealm game. In anew report from GamesBeat, Grubb reports the working title of the game isMultiversus, bringing together various Warner Bros. characters in aSmash Bros.-style crossover.
According to the report, characters like Shaggy fromScooby-Doo, Gandalf fromLord of the Rings, Tom and Jerry, and Batman could be set to appear inMultiversus. Grubb also says Warner Bros. Interactive has testedMultiversuswith fans and that it’s considering a free-to-play model.
WithSuper Smash Bros. Ultimateending itsDLC rollout with Sora, there will certainly be a gap in the “who’s next” speculation sphere. Nickelodeon has already moved in on that space withNickelodeon All-Star Brawl, another crossover fighter that will garner a lot of attention for its future fighter reveals. With Warner Bros., there’s plenty of fodder too. I’d have to at least put forward the Animaniacs, if nothing else.
