Yo! I’m excited to finally announce that our first wave of PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale DLC will be available on 13th February. Here’s what to expect.

Kat graces PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale with her presence, as an up-close melee fighter who utilises her ability to manipulate gravity to turn the tide in battle. Players who enjoyed Gravity Rush on PS Vita know that Kat loves to bend gravity to allow her to dash, slide and fly from one place to another, and her All-Stars incarnation is no exception.

Hello everyone! I can’t believe the end of the year is here already. Needless to say, this was quite a momentous 12 months for us at SuperBot with shipping our first title, PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, and announcing our game’s first DLC pack with incredible new characters Kat and Emmett, plus a super awesome Heavenly Sword-meets-Wipeout level.

We have been thrilled with all of the positive response the game has been getting, especially from the fans, as this love letter we call PlayStation All-Stars was ultimately crafted just for them. We are so proud that we are able to work on, and deliver, such a cool and long-awaited title for you all.

As a special thank you to all of our supporters and fans of PlayStation, we wanted to send out our holiday card to wish you all a most wonderful Happy Holidays!

Drawing upon nearly two decades of PlayStation lore, PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale assembles a dream roster of legendary fighters plucked from the annals of PlayStation history. But the characters are only half the story: Developer SuperBot Entertainment has invested much blood, sweat, and tears into the game’s elaborate fighting stages, each of which fuses two classic PlayStation brands into a whole that’s greater than the sum of its parts.

“We have a huge team of designers, artists, and programmers working on the characters, but we have a team that’s at least equally large working on the levels,” Game Director Omar Kendall told PlayStation.Blog in a revealing new interview. “It’s a huge undertaking in a game like this, because the levels have such a loud voice.”

The inspiration to fuse two seemingly unrelated game worlds came early in the game’s development, with the now-familiar Hades level serving as the germ of the concept.

“We had this idea of a giant Hades wreaking havoc on the playspace, when suddenly this happy-go-lucky music kicks in and the Patapons come over the hill to overthrow him,” Kendall remembered. “Once that came together, we knew we were onto something.”

Since we announced PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, war has raged across the internet. YouTube commenters spammed their favourite character’s names all over our trailers, tweets have bantered over whether Heihachi Mishima could REALLY kick Parappa The Rappa’s butt… even a campaign on Reddit emerged to add Oddworld’s Abe to the roster.

We’ve decided to make this war of favourites official and, together with GAME, we’re going to give you the chance to select which characters should appear on special, high-gloss sleeves covering copies of PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale in the UK. You have ten to choose from, and voting is easier than slaughtering Radec with Parappa’s awesome melee moves.

The doors to the PAX convention centre are officially open here in Seattle. The show is now in full swing, and so are our character reveals! We already unveiled Evil Cole and Raiden this week, and now we have two more characters that we’re announcing at the show today.

Heavenly Sword’s Nariko has joined the cast PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale! Heavenly Sword’s cinematic experience and engaging gameplay dazzled gamers in 2007, an experience we wish to re-create for those playing as Nariko in PlayStation All-Stars. Nariko has proven to be a strong female lead, and was a prime candidate for inclusion in the roster.
