New information has come forth about the possibleWarner Bros.platform fighting game. Recently, a massive leak mentioned thepossibility of a game calledMultiversusthat would be aSuper Smash Bros.like made with WB properties. The rumor claimed that the developer behind the new game would be NetherRealm Studios, the same team behind theMortal Kombatgames. However, more recent information says that is not true.
The bombshell rumor suggests Warner Bros. has a possibleSuper Smash Bros.-like game on the way in which the likes of Shaggy, Tom and Jerry, Batman, Fred Flinstone, and Johnny Bravo would duke it out on platforms withSuper Smash Bros. Melee’s depth, speed, and feel. It may sound likethe recentNickelodeon All-Star Brawl, making for anotherSmash Bros.clone that brings together characters from a plethora of IPs. One insider is apparently confirming the rumor, but not the NetherRealm Studios aspect of the story.

Jeff Grubb is a video game insider that often details information in the gaming world long before it is official. In regards to theWBMultiversusrumor, he tweeted that it is real, just that NetherRealm Studios is not developing it. This makes sense, as one of the more interesting aspects of the story was that theMortal Kombatdeveloper was taking such a sharp turn from its technical fighting prowess to aSmash Bros.-like platform fighter. According to Grubb, that is not the case. Of course, theMultiversusgame, and which team may or may not be developing it, should all be taken with a grain of salt until confirmed.
If ever there was a Warner Bros. platform fighter, it would be extremely difficult to compete withSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate.Nintendo’s fighting game has gone down as the highest-selling fighter of all time. With the game’s development coming to a close with the addition of the 82nd fighter in Sora, thecommunity has showered its director Masahiro Sakurai with praisefor putting together a game that is a love letter to both Nintendo and gaming as a whole.
Still, WB’s fighting game could certainly fill the void betweenSuper Smash Bros. Ultimateand the nextSmash Bros.title. FanscomparedNickelodeon All-Star Brawldirectly toSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, and as fun as the game may be, some of its flaws are visible, withUltimatestill going strong asNickelodeon All-Star Brawllaunched. That being said, if the WB platform fighter were real and were to launch with some breathing space afterSuper Smash Bros. Ultimatehas died down a bit - and ifWB’s title brings a strong cast - it could find success.
