After months of rumors and speculation, Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale was officially announced by Sony last night on Gametrailers TV. The game will resemble the Super Smash Bros. series with its 2D levels and 4 player fighting. The full cast of characters has yet to be announced.

As of this time only six characters have been confirmed: Sly Cooper, Sweet Tooth, Kratos, Colonel Radoc, Parappa the Rapper, and Fat Princess. There are plenty of rumors around the internet for future character announcements, ranging from Nathan Drake and Cole MacGrath to Solid Snake and Ratchet, but as of right now they are just speculation.

If done right, Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale has the potential to be an incredibly fun and addictive game, just as the Super Smash Bros. games were. Only time will tell if SuperBot Entertainment has a gem on their hands, or just a dud.
