Well, Sony it seems has come up with its own Super Smash Bros., as its PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale has just been revealed to be a mash up of characters from the PlayStation universe. This four-player brawler will be developed by SuperBot Entertainment, which has also outed a video interview about the game that can be spotted below.
Until now, the characters confirmed to form part of the game include Kratos, Fat Princess, PaRappa the Rapper, Sweet Tooth and Sly Cooper. Calling it a ”˜labor of love,’ the developer hailed this title to be a celebration of a storied history of much loved characters and worlds brought together in one game. SuperBot Entertainment has also disclosed that the decision to turn this mash up into a brawler was taken as all the developers at the studio are fond of fighting games.
“There are probably a few types of games that can be enjoyed by four players simultaneously, but for us at SuperBot, a brawler was the obvious choice for one really good reason: the developers here at SuperBot really like fighting games. We love playing them and we love making them. With PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, we set out to make an experience accessible enough for all PlayStation fans to enjoy while also creating something deep enough for the serious fighting game aficionado,” Omar Kendall, Game Director, SuperBot Entertainment, wrote on the official PlayStation blog.
Various modes will make their way into PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, with both single-player as well as multiplayer elements. Moreover, it has also come to light that the game will focus on online play which offers a tournament mode. Gamers will be able to compete against each other or even play cooperatively.
PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale is yet to be blessed with a release window, but SuperBot Entertainment is expected to announce more details at this year’s E3.
