A list of possible future characters purportedly from upcoming Smash-like brawler MultiVersus has appeared online.

The list appeared over the weekend on the game’s official subreddit. While a random list wouldn’t usually hold much weight on its own, the user responsible was the same person that leaked the existence of the game back in October of last year before its official announcement. Their claim includes several characters that weren’t included in last week’s Closed Alpha.

Several of these characters are apparently in a near-finished state. These include DC characters Joker and Raven (the latter from Teen Titans). There’s also Scooby Doo to join Shaggy, Rick and Morty and Daenerys from Game of Thrones. However, they also note a few other characters that might be a little further down the line.

These include Johnny Bravo, The Powerpuff Girls and Scorpion from Mortal Kombat. Perhaps most curious is the mention of Ted Lasso from the live action comedy series of the same name. It’s not quite clear how the football coach might fit into the cartoon-based world of Multiversus, but given Game of Thrones is also a live action series and the game already has Arya Stark, it’s not beyond the realms of possibility.

The leaker makes clear that they doubt any of these characters will be in at launch, whenever that may be. Specifically, as Multiversus is a live service game, the leaker claims the team aren’t looking at one particular date as a launch. We do know it’ll be holding an open beta this July, however. Presumably then, these characters could be introduced months or even years down the line.

Still, it looks like Multiversus will have a packed roster when the free-to-play brawler arrives on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and PC.
