MultiVersus‘ Closed Alpha is going to test the game’s myriad features. It’s cross-platform, so you’ll throw down with PC users as well as those on PlayStation and Xbox. Sorry, Switch fans, it looks like you’re benched this time around. MultiVersus also has rollback netcode, so no matter who you play in cross-platform, the experience should be smooth as butter. At least, that’s the hope. It is an alpha test, after all. The test begins on May 19 at noon ET and runs until May 27 at 8 PM ET.

 

To sign up, you’ll need to hustle on over to the game’s web page. After signing into or creating an account, you can follow a link to throw your Batman cowl into the ring. The MultiVersus Closed Alpha will have several online modes, such as a team-based 2 vs. 2, a 1 vs. 1, and a four-player free-for-all.

So far, there are 13 characters to choose from. They include Finn and Jake from Adventure Time, Shaggy, Harley Quinn, Batman, Tom and Jerry, and many more. The one original character is Reindog. There’ll be more characters revealed as time goes on.

To show off the game ahead of the Alpha, the developers took on some pros. You can watch how it went:
