Warner Bros. Games has revealed some of the new characters that will appear in MultiVersus, its new free-to-play online brawler.

The game’s new trailer shows off The Iron Giant, Velma from Scooby-Doo, and Taz, the Tasmanian Devil:

The description reads:

“In MultiVersus, the Multiverse is at your fingertips as you battle it out in intense 2v2 matches. Up against Batman & Shaggy? Try using Bugs Bunny & Arya Stark! This platform fighter lets you play out your fantasy matchups in a fun co-op or head-to-head fight for supremacy.

“MultiVersus is an all-new free-to-play, platform fighter videogame. With an ever-expanding cast of iconic characters and legendary universes, MultiVersus will feature multiple online
modes, including a team-based 2 vs. 2 format, 1 vs. 1 matches and 4-player free-for-all, along with upcoming content-filled seasons.”

The closed beta for the game starts this Friday, on May 19th. If you wish to sign up for it, go to the official website.

There have also been a number of leaks surrounding MultiVersus (via VGC). Voice lines from the game have made their way onto the internet. These imply that the likes of LeBron James, Raven from Teen Titans, and Marvin the Martian may turn up in the game. Along with Gizmo from Gremlins and Beetlejuice, which is great.

Warner Bros. announced the game last November, and it is scheduled for release this year, but no date has yet been specified. It’s coming to PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC.
