About Multiversus
Multiversus is a 2v2 platform fighter crossing over multiple Warner Bros IPs, from mainstays like the Loony Tunes and DC to newer properties like Rick and Morty or Game Of Thrones.
It’s also currently the only fighting game to feature a member of the NBA, with Lebron James being one of the playable characters thanks to his appearance in Space Jam 2.
It’s free-to-play, and features rollback netcode as well as cross play across its platforms.
The game had previously soft-launched complete with a battlepass and seasonal updates as part of an extended Open Beta, before it was suddenly closed down last year.
Previously, Warner Bros executives had expressed interest in focusing more on live service titles instead of only banking on triple-A console releases, which could have been foreshadowing this particular bit of Multiversus news.
