Does MultiVersus Have the Potential to Become a Leading Esport?

MultiVersus is on the way, and there is a lot of justifiable hype around the new title from Player First Games and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. It has the potential to become a popular esport, and the variety of characters on offer should appease a wide range of players.

MultiVersus is set for release later in 2022 and is still an unknown entity. However, the leaks for the multiplayer fighting game have been promising, and it could be set to shake up the esports industry.  

Batman and Other DC Characters Should Attract Interest

One of the biggest draws of MultiVersus is the fact that it includes numerous characters from the DC Universe including the likes of Batman, Harley Quinn, Superman, and Wonder Woman. These well-known protagonists will allure many players, as they are famous in mainstream movies and comics.

Harley Quinn will be a popular choice for players, as the villain has gained a lot of attention in recent times. This is thanks to Margot Robbie’s portrayal of the antagonist in the DC Extended Universe, where she’s appeared in three movies to date. Fans know what to expect with Quinn, and ExpressVPN notes how she is instantly recognizable now. She’s usually pictured with a baseball bat, and she has some incredible acrobatic skills in her arsenal. In terms of clothing, it tends to be a costume or street clothes.

Along with Quinn, Batman and Superman are featured on the promotional material for MultiVersus, and they are portrayed in a cartoony fashion. This suggests that the upcoming fighting game will be accessible to gamers of all ages. It could even evoke some nostalgia in older players who remember watching the animated versions of these characters when they were younger.

Infinite Possibilities with Characters

Along with the famous DC Universe characters, MultiVersus will give players the chance to play as icons from other franchises. IGN reported on the original character roster and noted how there would be playable options from Adventure Time, Scooby-Doo, and Game of Thrones.

There was also an article in Gaming Intel that said there were plans to release more characters for MultiVersus in the future. There was a leaked report saying that gamers can expect to see the Powerpuff Girls, Ben 10, and Ted Lasso among others. It’s clear that there will be some fun and crazy combinations when it comes to battles.

As it stands, the current roster includes the likes of Arya Stark, the Iron Giant, Tom & Jerry, Shaggy Rogers, Bugs Bunny, and Jake the Dog. Thanks to the fact that the developers have access to all the Warner Bro. media, there is infinite potential to add more characters to the roster.

The best eSports in the world are the ones that can appeal to the greatest number of people. This is something that MultiVersus could achieve because it is aimed at a broad range. Because there are characters from so many different franchises, every player is likely to have one that they want to select.
