PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale announced

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe today announced the release of PlayStation® All-Stars Battle Royale for PlayStation®3, featuring the best characters from the Sony PlayStation® library.

Developed by SuperBot Entertainment, PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale is the ultimate four-player brawler, influenced by some of the greatest PlayStation themes and characters of all time.

Check out the PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale trailer.

Spanning the entire PlayStation catalogue, players will control the likes of iconic characters such as Kratos, Sweet Tooth, Parappa, Fat Princess, Colonel Radec and Sly Cooper among others. Additionally, players will have access to top third party gaming heroes to use in battle.

With a host of playable characters, special attacks, themed stages and mash up music, PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale pits players in a deep fighting game that draws inspiration through the colourful PlayStation universe.

Players can engage in several single player modes including Combat Trials and Arcade mode. In Combat Trials, players not only learn the basics of the game but perfect their skills through hundreds of unique challenges. Additionally, players can play through a fixed level progression with prizes in Arcade mode. The signature element is that environments and music in the game are drawn from various Sony Intellectual Properties (IP) and mashed up to showcase the IP in a unique way.

Online battles will deliver a new set of challenges, including Tournament mode, Special Event Battle and Custom Matches. In Tournament, players are matched online to gain experience and special awards. Special Event Battles allow SuperBot to set match parameters daily, and players earn experience points towards an overall leaderboard based on performance. Players can also arrange their own customised matches by their own rules.

PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale is yet to be classified.
