User-spotted files have surfaced on NeoGAF indicating a hefty leak for Sony’s upcoming franchise brawler PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale. The information, said to have been obtained from a private beta, not only provides a list of previously unannounced characters, items, minions, and stages, it also reveals some legitimate looking screenshots of those stages.
Though Sackboy and Ratchet & Clank were inevitable shoe-ins for a game featuring Sony’s most popular franchise characters, notably added to the fight (according to the rumored documents) are Dante from Devil May Cry, Raiden from MGS, and the pleasantly surprising addition of Sir Daniel Fortesque from the original PlayStation’s MediEvil. Oh, the countless hours we spent hacking-and-slashing with the lovable and skeletal Hero of Gallowmere back in 1998.
Should this list prove to be accurate, Sony Santa Monica is truly developing PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale to be all-encompassing of Sony’s various franchises and protagonists. The supposed item, minion, and stage sets are definitely eclectic and feature just about every one of your favorite PlayStation games to some degree. Check out the list below:
Characters: Dante (Devil May Cry) Evil Cole (InFamous) Nariko (Heavenly Sword) Raiden (Metal Gear Solid) Sackboy (LittleBigPlanet) Ratchet & Clank (Ratchet & Clank) Sir Daniel Fortesque (MediEvil) Spike (Ape Escape)
Items: Atomizer (Resistance 3) Baumusu Axe (The Mark of Kri) Boots of Hermes (God of War III) Freeze Missile (Twisted Metal) Golf Club (Hot Shots Golf) Gravity Shield (Wipeout) Hedgehog Grenade (Resistance) Dohvat Laser Designator (Killzone 3) Leech Beem (Wipeout) Murder of Crows (BioShock Infinite) Railgun (Metal Gear Solid 4) Razor Claws (Ratchet and Clank) RPG (Uncharted) Scythe (Fat Princess) Spear (God of War) Sonic Rift (ModNation Racers) Sackbot (Little Big Planet)

Stages: Alden’s Tower (InFamous) Black Rock Stadium (Twisted Metal) Columbia (BioShock Infinite) Franzea (LocoRoco) Invasion (Killzone) Paris (Sly Cooper) San Francisco (Resistance) Stowaways (Uncharted) Time Station (Ape Escape)
It’s worth noting that Sony has yet to confirm the info as legitimate. The next character and stage reveals are planned for GamesCom on August 14th, so we could be close to a confirmation of the above data, or an abundance of new info altogether. We’ll update this story should Sony confirm or deny the leak.
