Development
Prior to its official announcement, rumors on the game were spread from multiple sources.[1] Initially, a user on the subreddit r/GamingLeaksandRumours claimed that it was in development as early as 2019, due to the release of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Warner Bros.' acknowledgement of the Ultra Instinct Shaggy internet meme. They also claimed that the idea of a crossover game came from Space Jam: A New Legacy,[2] which itself was a crossover of various WB-owned IPs; although the validity of these claims is uncertain.
Following the leaks, the first trailer for the game was released on December 2, 2021, announcing its main roster. A beta test was then announced to be be available at a later time to those who signed up for it. Those invited would also receive 3 extra codes to invite their friends to the testing as well.
The first beta test was announced 2 months later, on March 4. The testers were encourage to not discuss anything about the game online due to NDA. However, a survey was held after the player closed the game for the first time, where players were asked questions how can they would improve the game, and who they would like to see as a playable character. The first beta closed a week later on the 18th, and there was news for a whole month after that.
On May 16, 2022, a closed alpha was announced and would be available on the 18th, two days later, until the 27th of the same month. There would be no NDA this time so players would be free to talk about the game online, and in this case, this wiki as well. On the same day, an open beta was announced to be available in July after the closed alpha has ended.
