Gandalf, Batman, LeBron, And Harry Potter Rumored To Be Included In Upcoming F2P WB Platform Fighter

I am as cynical because it comes when “rumors” of a brand new sport pop up. Whatever the supply, I have a tendency to color any such data as somebody trying to sound cool by dishing “inside data” on an unannounced sport mission that solely they find out about and farming web factors — or a minimum of Reddit karma, which is barely extra tangible — with the lots.

That mentioned, the present rumor floating round is so weird and so surreal that I can not think about somebody making it up and pondering folks would take it significantly. If this sport sees the sunshine of day, we’ll lastly have the reply to the age-old query: Who would win in a battle between Gandalf and Batman? Alternatively, who would win in a battle between LeBron James and Harry Potter?

These solutions, and extra, can be answered by a Warner Bros.-licensed preventing sport that is within the works, in line with a Redditor who’s supposedly in the know. Whereas gaming journalist Jeff Grubb has said that the title will not be being developed by NetherRealm, because the Redditor claims, he nonetheless agrees that “the WB platform fighter is real,” whereas the unique leaker claims to have acquired a number of messages corroborating his data, which he described as “an enormous open secret.”

As Grubb talked about, the sport does look like a platform fighter, ostensibly within the vein of Smash Bros. or the more moderen Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl, however with characters spanning the breadth of WB’s licensed movie properties. The roster supposedly contains the aforementioned Gandalf, Batman, and Harry Potter, together with Harry’s buddy Ron Weasley, Tom & Jerry, Fred Flinstone, Johnny Bravo, and Mad Max. The leaker mentioned that “rights are bizarre” for the Harry Potter characters, so their inclusion will not be assured. Grubb later went on to say that the NBA’s LeBron James (assume Area Jam) can be a DLC character for the sport, which he mentioned was “free-to-play” and “seems to be low cost.”

One other intriguing piece of corroborating data is that WB utilized for a trademark for the time period “Multiversus” on September 27, which sounds prefer it could possibly be an ideal title for a chaotic mashup like this one.

Naturally, there is no affirmation from Warner Brothers on whether or not this title exists in any state of growth, and we would not count on to listen to about it if it did. Whether it is for actual — and, skeptical as I’m, I am inclined to consider it’s — then it might be one of many strangest video games to come back out in current reminiscence — and I’ve to confess, I might wish to strive it out, even whether it is “low cost.” How about you?
