Summary
Released fully all the way back in October 2017,Brawlhallahas been going strong for almost seven years now. As a free-to-play platform-fighter,Brawlhallahas managed to retain a sizable player base by continuing to release a consistent stream of updates and patches, some of which have added new crossover fighters to the game.
Though it doesn’t get talked about nearly as much as games likeFortnite,Brawlhalla’s had a rather lengthy history with franchise crossovers.Brawlhalla’s first major crossovercame all the way back in October 2018, when characters and weapons fromShovel Knightappeared in the platform-fighter. Since then,Brawlhallahas hosted almost 20 major crossovers, with collabs ranging from gaming icons likeRayman,Halo, andTomb Raider, to family-friendly cartoons likeBen 10,SpongeBob SquarePants, andAdventureTime. But there’s one popular franchise thatBrawlhallastill needs to have if it plans on completing its fighting game trio.
Brawlhalla Needs Just One More Crossover to Complete a Collection
Two Fighting Franchises Are Already Represented in Brawlhalla
Back in November 2021,Brawlhallahosted a hugeStreet Fightercrossover eventthat lasted three weeks and was so well received that it returned in May 2022. In these twoBrawlhallaxStreet Fightercrossover events, an impressive total of eight new character skins were added, all of whom mirrored various fighters from the base game. Ryu, Chun-Li, Akuma, Ken, Luke, M. Bison, Sakura, and Dhalsim all came to the platform-fighter, along with some new cosmetics like a themed KO Effect, and a new limited-time game mode and map.
More recently, back in September 2023,Brawlhallahad a similarTekkencrossover event. Though it was much smaller than theStreet Fighterevent,Brawlhalla’sTekkencollaborationadded three new character skins to the game, those being Devil Jin, Yoshimitsu, and Nina Williams. Along with them came a slew of Avatars, an Emote, and a KO Effect, as well as a Mishima Dojo map.
Brawlhalla Just Needs a Mortal Kombat Crossover To Complete Its Fighting Game Trifecta
When it comes to non-crossover fighting game franchises, there are three big names that never leave the top spots. These areStreet Fighter,Tekken, andMortal Kombat.Brawlhallahas characters from bothStreet FighterandTekken, but it still needsaMortal Kombatcrossoverto complete its fighting game collection. ABrawlhallaxMortal Kombatcrossover would make a lot of sense. ThoughBrawlhalla’s cartoon-y aesthetic has often led to crossovers with more family-friendly properties, the fighting game hasn’t been afraid of more adult-oriented IP, such asHalo,Hellboy, andThe Walking Dead.
There are also plenty ofMortal Kombatcharacters who could make the transition over toBrawlhalla. Scorpion is probably the best pick, with him being the franchise’s biggest mascot. Scorpion’s moveset would fit a few ofBrawlhalla’s base game fighters, with Ada probably being the best fit thanks to her spear and elemental blasters that could be easily reskinned to look like Scorpion’s spear and fire attacks.
Of course, there are plenty of other fighting franchises that are also worthy of aBrawlhallacrossover. Though it’s been out of the ring for a while,SoulCaliburwould make for a great crossover IP forBrawlhalla, as wouldKiller Instinct. More recent fighting games likeGuilty Gear Striveare also deserving of a cameo spot onBrawlhalla’s roster.
