Much-hyped platform fighter MultiVersus is officially in open beta testing, and while many testers are enjoying their first taste of gameplay, still many others are asking the obvious question: Who’s going to appear in the next game milestone? Given that one of the major appeals of the free-to-play crossover format is the mix and match lineups consisting of characters from a vast array of Warner Bros. intellectual properties, including DC Comics superheroes, Looney Tunes, Adventure Time, and more, the main question on hand is: Which characters are on deck as the game expands?
The game is set for official release later this year on PC, PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S platforms, but there is still no officially set roster. While 19 playable characters have been officially confirmed by developer Player First Games, 26 other characters have been leaked via data mining, screenshots, or other sources. While none of the unofficial characters have been confirmed, it’s likely that we’ll see at least some of them — Batman’s nemesis The Joker seems like an almost sure bet, for example — in the game’s final release version.
Here are the 19 playable characters that have been definitely confirmed by Player First Games and the franchise they came from:
