Prospective MultiVersus players can already sign up<\/a> to take part in the closed alpha test that kicks off May 19.

It being a cinematic trailer, nothing in particular was revealed gameplay wise. But it did give us some fun pairings, like the caped crusader Batman and the endlessly hungry Shaggy. The trailer also shows Shaggy powering up Goku-style, landing a pretty powerful punch on the wisecracking Bugs Bunny.<\/p>\n
