Platform fighting games aren't necessarily the biggest sub-genre in gaming. Whether it's because Nintendo's Smash Bros. is too big or that there's just not enough of a market for several big titles to co-exist, platform fighters have never really attracted multiple big companies at once. But, it appears that this is going to change soon. According to several reports, Warner Bros. is making a platform fighting game composed of fighters from several different WB properties.
Interestingly, depending on who you ask, the could be made by NetherRealm Studios, the same people behind the Mortal Kombat and Injustice games, or someone else entirely.
Is Warner Bros working on a platform fighting game?
All the rumors started on the r/GamingLeaksAndRumours subreddit where a certain u/hugeleakeractually claimed to have come across information that WB was working on an entirely new IP based on Smash Bros. He described it as a "tag-team" game that came to be because NetherRealm found the memes of Shaggy getting into his "Ultra Instinct" form and wreaking havoc in a Mortal Kombat game. NetherRealm decided to pitch the idea to WB, who loved it and greenlit the game.
