Did not see any thread about that so sorry if this was already post

According to the rumor, Sony would be developing the title so as to publish it for the launch in 2020 for PlayStation 5. They will put in lots of money to finance this project because they think it will boost PlayStation 5's appeal on launch. It will then be launched in 2021 on PC. This would be in line with Shawn Layden's statements regarding how he wants Sony to publish their games on other platforms. However, there won't be cross play.
If it follows the Super Smash Bros. formula, it will have over the top animations. They will also presumably have cartoon-like graphics and the gameplay will be made so that it can attract both casual and eSport players.

Still a rumor but would definitely be interesting to see especially the fact that they apparently plan a free to play version.

[Futabaisthebest<3]

Should have done with Arc System, but okay.

 

[Cess007]

OMG please be true

Just for the lolz

 

[TreeMePls]

Please be a proper fighter

 

[Thorn]

Smash Ultimate will still have Cloud.

 

[Brass Body Dave]

God no, please no...

 

[NotLiquid]

The rumor first emerged when a presumed Capcom USA employee uploaded some confidential information on the internet. And the internet did it what it does best. Consequently, the supposed leak took over 4Chan, NeoGAF and ResetERA.

A year later on pc? No chance.

 

[FF Seraphim]

Sony vs Capcom? That would be interesting.

 

[Toumari]

Nope.

[Kyoufu]

I find it hard to believe it won't have cross-play with the PC version.

Pressing X to doubt.

 

[Principate]

Why, after the last shitshow how can the expect to get a better response in terms of Ip's available.

 

[Deleted member 42105]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[chusetto]

PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale : Ultimate

 

[bronson]

Might be confusing to call it a "Battle Royale" at this point

 

[Tribal24]

Here we gooo

 

[FusedAtoms]

A fighting game of only Sony characters on PC makes no sense. But I'm there day 1 regardless, if this is true

 

[Porygon]

It did? I missed it.

Yeah, I don't remember this at all

 

[Xavi]

BRUH

 

[JayCB64]

Good luck competing with the Smash roster.

 

[ramenline]

Gonna be weird when they reveal Joker for it

What if it is one though

 

[Wamb0wneD]

Will be interesting to see if they steal more from Smash or divert from it. The middle ground they went for with the first entry was abysmal, so either way it will be a positive. Hopefully.

 

[Khanimus]

Lol uh huh...

 

[JetroPT]

Why would it not have cross play with pc?Makes no sense.

It's a no for me, dawg.

 

[ChimpBottle]

If this is true (and I hope it is) it might be best they drop the "PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale" name. It sounds like a purposefully bad parody

 

[Desma]

3D Arena Brawler? It'd be nice if they didn't rip off Smash so blatantly.

Also like the idea of Crash and Spyro being in it.

 

[Expy]

There's like no source at all about this, not even mentioned in the article itself. As if the article writer is or is very close to being the source itself.

We're talking about it now, aren't we?

That makes the leak true!

 

[Deleted member 59519]

I'm gonna say no

 

[Lokoline]

Hard to believe but I hope it's true.

 

[Kalor]

This is 100% fake.

 

[RochHoch]

Assuming this is real, I don't know how to feel about this.

On one hand, it could end up being decent sine Capcom would be developing, but on the other, I honestly would just want to see Sony try and fail miserably to rip-off Smash Bros again.

I'm calling fake, though.

 

[SlasherMcGirk]

Made by capcom!? Please be 2D fighter as opposed to smash style.

 

[Aokiji]

It will then be launched in 2021 on PC.

[Mezoly]

What's the source of the rumor?
it mentions 4chan and Era but doesn't link to any of them

Seems super fake to be honest

 

[poklane]

So where exactly does this rumor come from? Because the article doesn't exactly read like it's from their sources, it reads like they found it somewhere else.
Also, and with all due respect: fuck Battle Royale, give me PlayStation All-Stars Karting or bust.

 

[BoxManLocke]

Don't do it.

 

[CommandThrower]

Sony and Capcom, huh? Very intriguing.


If this turns out to be more than just a rumor, then I'll be all over this.
