MultiVersus is an all-new free-to-play, platform fighter that introduces a team-based 2 vs. 2 format combined with an ever-expanding cast of iconic characters and legendary universes.

MultiVersus will showcase a variety of beloved heroes and personalities to team up with or compete against in epic battles, including Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and Harley Quinn (DC); Shaggy and Velma (Scooby-Doo); Bugs Bunny and Tasmanian Devil a.k.a. Taz (Looney Tunes); Arya Stark (Game of Thrones); Tom & Jerry (Tom and Jerry); Jake the Dog and Finn the Human (Adventure Time); Steven Universe and Garnet (Steven Universe); Iron Giant (The Iron Giant); LeBron James (Space Jam: A New Legacy); Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith (Rick and Morty); an extraordinary original creature named Reindog; and many more to come.

Featuring matches with a strong emphasis on online cooperative gameplay, every fighter will be outfitted with a deep set of combat mechanics that distinguish the game’s fresh take on 2 vs. 2 gameplay. This allows combatants to boast customizable movesets that combine dynamically with other characters as they battle for supremacy. From Wonder Woman and her Lasso of Truth attack being unexpectedly paired with Shaggy and his sandwich projectile, to Arya Stark’s face-swapping ability being used to complement Superman’s laser vision, the impossible can become possible through surprising team combinations and matchups. The game’s fun filled multiplayer bouts can be set against the backdrop of various reimagined environments from awe-inspiring worlds, such as Batman’s Batcave, Jake and Finn’s Tree Fort and many others. MultiVersus will also include intense 1 vs. 1 clashes and a 4-player free-for-all mode where only one fighter can come out on top.

Additionally, MultiVersus will feature an all-star cast of talent lending their voices to the game, including Kevin Conroy (Batman: The Animated Series, Batman: Arkham series) as Batman, George Newbern (Justice League vs. the Fatal Five, Injustice 2) as Superman, Abby Trott (Carmen Sandiego) as Wonder Woman, Tara Strong (Batman Ninja, Batman: Arkham series) as Harley Quinn, Matthew Lillard (Scooby-Doo) as Shaggy, Eric Bauza (Looney Tunes Cartoons) as Bugs Bunny and Tom and Jerry, Maisie Williams (Game of Thrones) as Arya Stark, John DiMaggio (Adventure Time) as Jake the Dog, Jeremy Shada (Adventure Time) as Finn the Human, Daniel DiVenere (Spirit Riding Free) as Steven Universe, Estelle (Steven Universe) as Garnet and Andrew Frankel (Jellystone) as Reindog.


Warner Bros. Games announced that MultiVersus will be adding The Powerpuff Girls and DC’s Nubia to its growing roster of characters as part of Season 3: Sugar, Spice, & Everything Nice.

Based on the superhero trio from the popular animated series, The Powerpuff Girls will be available when MultiVersus Season 3 launches on Sept. 17. DC Super Hero and new Queen of The Amazons, Nubia, will arrive later in the season.

The heavy hitting, superpowered trio of Blossom, Buttercup, and Bubbles will be flying in from Townsville to put all bad guys in their place. In the new trailer, The Powerpuff Girls’ fighting skills as an Assassin class character are on full display, including their unique team up abilities to punch, kick, and bash opponents together as one cohesive wrecking machine, along with each taking turns as the leader to put their own spin on special moves. The video also provides a first look at the Rowdyruff Boys and Dynamo Suits character variants for The Powerpuff Girls available on Sept. 17, along with a new battle-torn “Destroyed” version of the City of Townsville map that fans of the series will recognize, coming later in the season.

Additionally, Season 3 will add the new Midnight Showing map, allowing players to battle against the backdrop of the movie theater locale inspired by the Gremlins (1984) film.

MultiVersus is available for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC with full cross-play support, dedicated server-based rollback netcode and content-filled seasons.
