Since then, there have been many games helping to expand the once niche genre into the growing powerhouse that it is today. The genre\u2019s latest addition comes in the form of Warner Bros\u2019 MultiVersus, the fighter that sees Shaggy from Scooby-Doo square off against Batman nemesis Harley Quinn. With the closed alpha finally playable, it\u2019s safe to say the community has been impressed.
