'''''PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale''''' is a [[Massive Multiplayer Crossover]] [[Mascot Fighter]] developed by Superbot Entertainment, running on the [[Super Smash Bros.]]-esque premise of a cast of Sony's gaming properties joining to beat each other senseless. Initially known as "Title Fight", the game was leaked on October 30 of 2011 by [http://paulgalenetwork.com/home/2011/10/30/big-playstation-3-game-announcement-tomorrow-exclusive-to-paul-gale-network/ The Paul Gale Network] before being officially announced by Game Trailers TV and on the PlaystationPlayStation blog on April 26, 2012. The game will be released in the Holiday season of 2012.
 
However in September 27, 2018, Sony announced to shutdown ''PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale'' online servers in October 15, along with other two PlayStation 3 games ''Twisted Metal'' and [[Warhawk (2007 video game)|''Warhawk'']]. Until it was delayed and changed to January 31, 2019.

=== The roster: ===
Sony has also announced that it plans to include [[Guest Fighter|Guest Fighters]] from third-party companies that have a long history with Sony, which has caused [[And the Fandom Rejoiced|the fandom to be especially excited about the game]].
 
=== [[Play Station All Stars Battle Royale/Characters|The current roster]]: ===
* From ''God Of War'': Kratos
* From ''Fat Princess'': Fat Princess assisted by the villagers.
Line 46 ⟶ 47:
* [[Dueling Games]]: Will be (more or less) directly taking on ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', more so if Nintendo reveals a new game.
* [[Essence Drop]]: AP is treated this way.
* [[Everything Trying to Kill You]]: The stages will feature many environmental hazards, such as [[Jak and Daxter|Sandover Village]], which has a giant [https://web.archive.org/web/20120118080429/http://jakanddaxter.wikia.com/wiki/Shark Lurker Shark] swimming beneath the stage who will eat players too slow to get back to the main platform. The Metropolis stage has the Hydra, which will periodically attack the players as well.
* [[Finishing Move]]: The game is based around these. The only way to win is to destroy opponents with them, and the main reason for attacking at all is to build AP to use a Super. Level 1 Supers usually take out one opponent over a small area, Level 2 Supers can potentially take out multiple opponents over a wide area and Level 3 Supers can often annihilate the opposition.
* [[Follow the Leader]]: Almost exactly the same concept as ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', [[Recycled in Space|but with Sony's characters]] and with a totally different method of defeating opponents.
* [[Free-Floor Fighting]]: The Dreamscape level is constantly being built, adding extra platforms and occasionally lowering ground. This is just one example.
* [[Guest Fighter]]: [[BioShock (series)|Big Daddy]], at least for now.
* [[Hailfire Peaks]]: Several stages will smoosh together environments from completely different games for unique mash-ups (which includes mash-ups remixing the original game's music). The [[Jak and Daxter|Sandover Village]] stage for instance will have several [[Hot Shots Golf|Hot Shots Golfers]] in the background sending golf balls onto the stage for low damage to those struck with them. Further, Buzz! will stand in the background of the slowly-morphing [[Little Big PlanetLittleBigPlanet]] stage to occasionally quiz the players. Later in the [[Ratchet and Clank|Metropolis stage]], [[God of War|the Hydra]] will appear, shortly after attacking/eating Captain Qwark. Probably the strangest one is a stage that combines the underworld of [[God of War]] with [[Patapon]].
* [[Homage]]: To name a few:
** The Power Meter from [[Hot Shots Golf]] shows up when the golfers are about to take their swing in the Sandover Village/19th Hole stage, also serving to warn the players to dodge the oncoming hail of golf balls.
Line 69 ⟶ 70:
* [[Production Foreshadowing]]: Sony's "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdWkKKSckNk Michael]" ad campaign created quite a bit of speculation over a potential [[Crossover]]. [[Hilarious in Hindsight|Suddenly the ad gains even more impact]].
** Jack Tretton specifically brought up the commercial while introducing the game during Sony's E3 press conference.
** [https://web.archive.org/web/20120923221421/http://vividgamer.com/2012/04/27/could-playstation-all-stars-characters-be-hidden-in-sonys-michael-teaser/ Speculation has already begun on who from the commercial will be making it into the game].
* [[Sincerest Form of Flattery]]: It's pretty clear from gameplay and screenshots that it's heavily inspired by ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' Probably not a bad thing, though.
* [[Trick Bomb]]: The Hedgehog Grenade from [[Resistance]] is a usable item.
