Watch the trailer featuring LeBron James in MultiVersus

MultiVersus (Warner Bros. Games)

The MultiVersus smash game is a new title that draws quite a bit of inspiration from games like Nintendo's Super Smash Bros, and combines all the characters that Warner Bros. owns the rights to in one arena: from DC superheroes, Looney Tunes, Game of Thrones, Tom and Jerry, and the list goes on. continues

The game is expected to start its open beta as early as this week, on Tuesday, June 26, and the Warner Bros. gaming division announces the new character that will join the battle arena: NBA star LeBron James, as his character appears in the movie "Space Jam: A new legend".

For those who expected to play LeBron James the same way he is played in NBA 2K, will be disappointed.

In MultiVersus, the ambition is to present fast and crazy gameplay that is not limited by reality, and LeBron James' moves are as cartoonish and crazy as any cartoon character that appears in the game.

Those who expected LeBron James to voice himself just like he played his character in "Spice Jam" may be disappointed, and Warner Bros. has already announced that actor John Bentley will voice the basketball player.

LeBron isn't the only character to join MuntiVersus, and players can also look forward to Rick and Morty characters in the future.

Why

It is important to understand that Nintendo's Super Smash games have a devoted player community that has quite a few competitive players, and it is considered one of the most successful games in the EVO League, the world's largest eSports league for smash games.

The big problem is that Nintendo decided this year that Super Smash games will no longer be played at EVO, much to the chagrin of the players.

As a result, MultiVersus isn't the first fighting game released this year that seems to have taken inspiration from Super Smash.

In recent months, Nickelodeon also released the game

, which brings together the cartoon characters of the children's television channel for head-to-head battles.

Both Warner Bros. and Nickelodeon receive feedback and work alongside professional players from the community, and try to polish and make the game experience as fun and competitive as possible - all with the goal of filling the empty space that Nintendo left among the community of beat players.
