Player First Studios’ free-to-play platform fighter MultiVersus has received some extensive new gameplay. Director Tony Huynh and Daniel Kraft face off against Super Smash Bros. pro players Tyrell “NAKAT” Coleman and James “VoiD” Makekau-Tyson across three rounds. Check it out below.

The 2v2 gameplay gives us a better look at how characters like Wonder Woman, Shaggy, Superman and Tom play along with the various environments. A release date wasn’t announced but there will be a closed alpha starting on May 19th, 9 AM PDT. Players can sign up for the same here, though slots are limited so don’t expect guaranteed access
