Crossover Fighter ‘MultiVersus’ Featuring Stripe and Gizmo From ‘Gremlins’, Shaggy and Velma From ‘Scooby-Doo’ Returns May 28 [Video]
After ending the open beta in June of last year, WB Games and developer Player First Games have announced that their the free-to-play all-star platform fighter MultiVersus will be back on May 28 when the game launches in full. The developer announced the update via a brief video (which you can see below), while also teasing new features coming to the game.
MultiVersus will release with a new PvE mode, with additional fighters added to the roster, additional stages based on “reimagined universes and environments”, “first-class” online play, improved visuals, and more. The roster currently includes Stripe and Gizmo from Gremlins, along with Shaggy and Velma from Scooby-Doo, Batman, Black Adam, and Harley Quinn.
As for who else will be joining the roster, WB and Player First Games are keeping a tight lid on that. There were rumours regarding Eleven from Stranger Things, Beetlejuice and Godzilla joining the game during the beta, but that obviously didn’t happen. With Beetlejuice Beetlejuice on the way, it would make sense to have the ghost with the most show up.
MultiVersus will be available as a free download for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series , Xbox One, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, with full cross-play and cross-progression support.
Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.
Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”
Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.
And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
