Citação:Got info on the new Netherrealm game. Obviously a burner account. Not gonna provide and proof to the mods or anyone, sorry. Not going to risk it. But just save this post, trust me.

The new Netherrealm Game is a Warner Bros. Crossover Platform Fighter

Yes. New IP technically.

Yes. It is based off Smash Bros (and now Nickelodeon All Stars, but this was in the works before Nickelodeon was even announced).

It’s a Tag Team game. Not sure if that means you pick two characters and switch between them. Or if each “character” is actually a pair, or if each character is an individual and you only switch when you lose a stock. All I know is there’s synergy between certain characters which implies custom teams.

Characters I Can Confirm Are In The Game:

    Shaggy (Scooby Doo)

    Gandalf (Lord of the Rings)

    Tom & Jerry

    Batman

    Fred Flinstone

    Mad Max

    Harry Potter & Ron are apparently in but the rights are weird so they stopped development on them? Not going to lie this may have been said in jest.

    Johnny Bravo

I know some more but I’m holding off on sharing until after the game’s revealed.

Origin

I was told that the origin of this game was actually due to the memes based around Shaggy getting into Mortal Kombat in his “Ultra Instinct” form. Obviously NR wasn’t going to put him in a game like Mortal Kombat, so ideas were tossed around and Warner Bros. loved the idea of combining their properties and establishing more Warner crossovers. As you obviously saw in Space Jam 2.

This is all I have to share right now. I know it sounds ridiculous but you’re going to look back at this post soon and wonder how the fuck this was actually real. No idea when it’s being announced, but it’s been in development for awhile. So it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s at The Game Awards or showed early next year. No idea though.

Edit: Now I can’t be 100% certain this is it, but its worth taking a look at, at the very least it’s proof that what I’m saying isn’t hearsay, but I don’t know the game’s name so I can’t confirm. Was sent this by an anonymous source after I leaked that also can confirm this game exists: https://trademarks.justia.com/970/48/multiversus-97048092.html

Edit 2: Now that this is getting a lot of attention from those outside the r/gamingleaksandrumours subreddit. Let me say some more on Platform Fighters.

This isn’t the only one in active development and those at NR/Warner have known this for awhile now. It’s an open secret in the industry that fter the success of Smash Ultimate, combined with Nintendo’s complete tone-deafness towards their audience and playerbase, a lot of Western Studios have begun to capitalize on the opportunity to make their own platform fighter that doesn’t treat their playerbase and competitive players like shit. The numbers competitive smash, especially Melee, pulls is not lost on the Western studios and the opportunity to take a slice of that pie is extremely apparent.

Netherrealm isn’t the last. I know of at least 2 others with major IP that are developing others, all based off Melee’s speed and depth. Netherrealm i just have the most info on because, well, I won’t say anymore so I don’t get fired. But there’s at least one other that, as a studio, is significantly bigger than us and you already know a little about it. All I’ll say on that because I don’t have much info.
