Finally announced

Sony's finally confirmed what we've all known for months — PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale is real, and it's coming to PS3 later this year.

SuperBot took to the PlayStation Blog to discuss its new brawler, an "accessible yet deep" fighter it hopes will bring all PlayStation fans together. It's only a quick taster, with the meat of the game saved for E3, but we already know it'll feature co-op and competitive multiplayer, with a character roster that includes PaRappa the Rapper, Fat Princess, Kratos, Sly Cooper, Colonel Radec and Sweet Tooth, among others.

Here's the first trailer and screenshots. Expect more at E3 in June.
