MultiVersus closed alpha - Schedule, how to sign up, platforms, more

Platform fighter enthusiasts will be happy to hear that a closed alpha for the highly anticipated MultiVersus is right around the corner, with more platforms available than previous tests.

With players getting a first look at MultiVersus in November, developers Player First Games have been hard at work to ensure this closed alpha is as smooth as it can get for those interested in trying it out.

The big selling point of MultiVersus, on top of being a free-to-play cross-platform fighting game, is that it will feature some of Warner Bros. most iconic and legendary characters, as well as more fresh faces that have garnered popularity in recent years.

From DC Comics to Game of Thrones, old-school cartoons like Scooby-Doo or Tom & Jerry, and more contemporary shows like Adventure Time, it's a crossover that promises to rival Smash Bros.
