Dr. Nefarious and the Top 7 Most Likely Candidates for PS All-Stars Battle Royale DLC

Playstation's platform-wide brawler has finally arrived and, well...it's pretty damn awesome. Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale's got great stages, a cool 'story mode' and a colorful cast of Playstation characters that span multiple platforms. The full list of available characters has now been revealed for those whom have yet to pick up the game. With two DLC characters already confirmed, and more confirmed to be arriving in 2013, now is a good time to step back from the tournament style action and take a look at which characters we're most likely to see added to the roster next year.

Currently the roster is comprised of Big Daddy, Cole McGrath, Evil Cole McGrath, Colonel Radec, Dante (reboot), Fat Princess, Heihachi Mishima, Jak and Daxter, Kratos, Nariko, Nathan Drake, PaRappa the Rapper, Raiden, Ratchet and Clank, Sackboy, Sir Daniel Fortesque, Sly Cooper, Spike, Sweeth Tooth and Toro Inoue; with Hawken's Emmett Graves and Gravity Rush's Kat coming in the new year as the game's first DLC characters.

The question now remains: what other familiar faces will be making their way into the ring to hold their own against the biggest names in Playstation? For obvious reasons, the possible competitors must be exclusive to Sony's line of Playstation consoles. Also, despite our list of hopefuls from the Final Fantasy series, it looks as though Square Enix won't be working with PSASBR so we can just phase the out...at least for now. Check out our best guessed in the gallery above. Enjoy!
