Event Matches

Event Matches would be an additional mode for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale that would be added as DLC. The mode would also return in the sequel, PlayStation All-Stars Combat Arena, and the collaborative title, PlayStation X Nintendo: Super Smash Bros All-Stars.



Mode Description
In this mode, players are able to experience special events, similar to the Super Smash Bros series, in which characters are put into scenarios that either reflect events from their original series or other special scenarios regarding their relations to other characters, such as characters owned by the same company or characters like Nathan Drake and Sly Cooper, who share the fact that they are thieves.

The events will be introduced with a cutscene, similar to the rival battles, and will be featured on both the original stages and special stages exclusive to the event match. Players will also face off against non-playable characters from PlayStation history, including battles against horde enemies, such as a group of Clickers or Necromorphs, and additional fighters, similar to the All-Stars Mode in Super Smash Bros.

In a similar manner to the game, Injustice: Gods Among Us, not all events will be simple battles. There are a few that may transition into a quick-time event, while there are also events that are not battles at all, but contain other challenges, instead.
