Stretching back from my roots as a tournament player to my current gig as lead game designer for Sony’s Santa Monica Studio, I’ve spent over two decades in fighting games, and have been thrilled to revisit so many great memories from my own PlayStation history with the characters and stages of PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale.
I’m here today on behalf of SuperBot Entertainment, Bluepoint Games, and Santa Monica Studio to announce that PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale has gone gold on PS3 and PS Vita! All of us are extremely grateful for the help from our beta players in testing our networking, and thrilled to see the amazing response from all of you that played the beta, which is just a small slice of the full game.
In celebration of this milestone, we wanted to share something special as a small “thank you!” to all the amazing PlayStation fans who have helped us come so far. Today we’re officially unveiling the opening cinematic sequence to the game. We’ve been pretty tight-lipped about our final boss, but if you hang in until the end you’ll get a glimpse of the villainous mastermind that’s returned from the depths of PlayStation history to pull the strings in All-Stars.
Let us know your thoughts in the comments below and if your interest is piqued, remember to pre-order All-Stars today! Pre-ordering scores you an exclusive costume for every character in the game, and with Cross-Buy, every PS3 copy comes with a download code for the PS Vita version at the low, low cost of zero!
Thanks again to PlayStation fans around the world for your incredible support, and come November 20th, I’ll see you online — just look for the unbeatable Drake player at the top of the leaderboards. :P
Umm…S-Kill isn’t Capcom’s Senior Manager anymore… :P
Polygon Man :O
I like the theme song, but I’m still bummed you didn’t stick with Justice – “Genesis.”
you guys have done an amazing job on this game ! we played the Beta almost everyday on both platforms & it was a great co-op & MP experience …. my son is on pins & needles for release day, & our PS3 copy is already preordered …. we are in eager anticipation …. would be great if by some miracle it released early – like LBP V …. you have fans waiting to get going with it. will there be ranking for online matches ? my fav. character from the 6 available was Sly – I could whip 3 Kratos with little Sly …. thrilled to hear that there will be DLC characters & stages …. any idea of the price point per character ? thanks guys – this alongside LBP Karting will make our winter MP experience . :-)
Well, that was pretty much the coolest video I’ve ever seen.
Superbot has really outdone themselves this time.
That video is what PlayStation is all about. And this game is a PlayStation fan’s number 1 dream.
November 20th can’t come soon enough, I’ll tell you what.
i see your drake and raise you a Sweet tooth…cant wait to play
The polygon head, that’s great.
Yes I was wishing and Superbot delivered. POLYGON MAN!!!!!
Hi. Could you please confirm if there will be a day-1 digital version for the PS3? If so, will it still provide a Vita digital version and the pre-order bonus? Furthermore, do you know if a pre-order (w/ discount?) on PSN would be available shortly, so those with retail pre-orders could plan accordingly. Thanks!
Yes! All-Stars will be available as day-1 digital on PS3. You will get the costume pre-order bonus AND the complimentary Vita version whether you buy a physical disc or the digital version of All-Stars on PS3.
