Yes, they’re two characters, but one unit. With their arsenal of weapons and gadgets, they’re sure to turn a few heads.

Spike

Sackboy

Sackboy was bound to be added to PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale. He may look small and cute, but he will surely have some deadly moves up his zipper.

Dante

Finally, someone who can openly challenge Kratos and Heihachi Mishima. As you can see in the image, this is the Dante from the new DMC. But don’t worry, he’s still pretty bad-ass. Also, there’s a slight chance that an alternate costume might be available for him that can make him look like the Dante in the previous games. I wouldn’t bet on it though. I’m personally looking forward to Vergil, if they ever decide to include him.
