There are still a lot of questions surrounding Sony’s upcoming PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale. The biggest question pertains to which characters will occupy the game’s final roster, and the developers at SuperBot Entertainment eased the tension mildly by confirming two characters that’ll be joining the frantic fisticuffs. The first character confirmed was none other that Uncharted‘s Nathan Drake – a character that many assumed would be included since the very beginning. The second character however, came as a bit of a shock… a Bioshock.
Big Daddy has managed to escape Rapture for a special guest appearance in PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, and this powerhouse will undoubtedly be able to hold his own (and then some) against the likes of Sony’s recognizable mascots. To celebrate the reveals, a brand new trailer was released showing the All-Stars in action.
Evidence of Drake’s inclusion surfaced last month after the voice actor for InFamous‘ Cole MacGrath – another unconfirmed character – tweeted about how great it was to work with the likes of Nolan North (the voice actor for Nathan Drake) on the project. While his inclusion was widely expected, it’s still great to get the official confirmation and it’ll be great to unleash the various weapons that the Uncharted protagonist has at his disposal.
The two will undoubtedly bring some variety to the already bizarre list of characters participating in the fray. Big Daddy’s appearance also means that any third party character could be included in Battle Royale. Bioshock‘s iconic, tragically misunderstood beast seems somewhat out of place, and that’s because the character just doesn’t have strong ties or notoriety with the PlayStation brand. That’s not to say that the mascot won’t be a solid addition, but characters like Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon may be left out as a result.

I think someone forgot to tell sony that all their first party characters that would be great for this game already have one.
“The second character however, came as a bit of a shock… a Bioshock.”
Cheesy.
Anyway, Nathan Drake was a shoe-in. As for Big Daddy, I think we’re all surprised.
Oh, come on! That’s gold!
You’re right. You should get your own video game-related comedy show (see Greg Miller/IGN’s Up At Noon).
Funny you say that… stay tuned.
I need a playstation
Jak and Ratchet better be in this
I agree completely, this game will be a huge let-down for me if both of those guys aren’t in it. Hopefully Daxter and Clank will make cameo’s in their respective partners super moves (whatever they’ve been calling them).
Dude my main thingis that i rlly wanna c kratos n cole hash it out..cnt wait for dis game
It’s kind of embarrassing the level of Smash Brothers copy-pasting they’re doing. And the name of this game is awful. But hey, if it’s fun, no one is going to care about any of that.
To be honest I don’t see a whole lot of copying and pasting from super smash brothers, other than the concept of the game itself.
I’m so excited drake and big daddy are great additions to this game cant wait to play it
