As in Smash Bros, each character in Multiversus will have their own special techniques unique to them.
For example, Wonder Women will have her Lasso of Truth attack, while Shaggy can throw sandwiches at enemies. Arya Stark will have a face-swapping ability, while Superman has his patented laser vision.
While the game’s focus is mainly on 2 vs 2 fighting, the game will also include 1 vs 1 fights and a 4-player free-for-all mode, two options that will better suit Smash Bros players.
The character roster doesn’t stop at likenesses – Warner Bros has confirmed that the game will have an extensive voiceover cast, including Kevin Conroy, Tara Strong, Matthew Lillard, Maisie Williams, John DiMaggio and Estelle.
