Both characters will be free for their first two weeks of availability, though their price point after the fact remains unknown.<br /><br />As we learned during their <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/12/04/playstation-all-stars-adding-kat-and-emmett-graves-plus-heavenl/">initial reveal</a> last December, both characters make heavy usage of the abilities their own games are based on, with Kat (above) manipulating gravity and Emmett summoning mining equipment, as seen <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2013/01/17/kat-emmett-join-playstation-all-stars-battle-royale-feb-12/#continued">after the break</a>. Both characters sport the same amenities as the original cast: extra costumes, full arcade stories and trial modes, etc.<br /><br />The previously announced <em>Heavenly Sword</em>/<em>Wipeout</em> stage has also been slated for February, though a specific release date or price was not provided. We're still holding out for a ship from <em>Wipeout</em> as a playable character.<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2013/01/18/kat-emmett-join-playstation-all-stars-battle-royale-feb-12/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Kat, Emmett join PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale Feb. 12</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2013/01/18/kat-emmett-join-playstation-all-stars-battle-royale-feb-12/">Kat, Emmett join PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale Feb. 12</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Fri, 18 Jan 2013 16:30:00 EST.

The character pack containing both will be free for a limited time when it arrives sometime early next year.<br /><br />SuperBot's director Omar Kendall also premiered a brand new level for the game, combining the worlds of <a href="http://joystiq.com/game/heavenly-sword"><em>Heavenly Sword</em></a> and <a href="http://joystiq.com/game/wipeout"><em>Wipeout</em></a> into a beautiful but precarious environment. The actual pricing (and release date) for the level hasn't yet been decided.<br /><br />While letting us play a little bit with each character, Kendall talked to us about the reaction to <em>PlayStation All-Stars</em>, why these two characters are the first to make the DLC cut, and what else SuperBot has planned.<div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/playstation-all-stars-battle-royale-kat-and-emmett-graves/">PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale: Kat and Emmett Graves</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/playstation-all-stars-battle-royale-kat-and-emmett-graves/#5478161"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/12/psashots017_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/playstation-all-stars-battle-royale-kat-and-emmett-graves/#5478162"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/12/psashots015_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/playstation-all-stars-battle-royale-kat-and-emmett-graves/#5478163"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/12/psashots016_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/playstation-all-stars-battle-royale-kat-and-emmett-graves/#5478164"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/12/psashots012_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/playstation-all-stars-battle-royale-kat-and-emmett-graves/#5478165"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/12/psashots013_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/12/04/playstation-all-stars-adding-kat-and-emmett-graves-plus-heavenl/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>PlayStation All-Stars adding Kat and Emmett Graves, plus Heavenly Sword/Wipeout level</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/12/04/playstation-all-stars-adding-kat-and-emmett-graves-plus-heavenl/">PlayStation All-Stars adding Kat and Emmett Graves, plus Heavenly Sword/Wipeout level</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Tue, 04 Dec 2012 08:30:00 EST.

The style is consistent with the official site's <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/gravity-rush">existing bios</a>, but we were unable to locate Kat's bio ourselves through clever URL manipulations or otherwise. For now, we're keeping this in the "maybe" pile, but we'll also keep our ear to the ground and will update with any new information that surfaces. <p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/09/08/rumor-gravity-rushs-kat-in-playstation-all-stars-battle-royal/">Rumor: Gravity Rush's Kat in PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Sat, 08 Sep 2012 12:00:00 EST.

<br />Theresa Murphy's intentions were well-meaning when she planned out this costume, <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/halloween">dressing up as Kat, half of the <em></em></a><em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/warioware">WarioWare</a></em> series' ninja-sister duo. There must have been some misstep during the creation process, however, some supernatural treachery, that produced this absolutely creepy paper mache head. Our best guess is that a dying killer snuck into Theresa's house and performed a voodoo ritual to <a href="http://imdb.com/title/tt0094862/">imbue the mask with his evil soul</a>, all while she was distracted by a Geico TV commercial.<br /><br />Gone are our memories of Kat as a cute <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/minigame/">minigame</a> ninja. In their place, we see a black and white scene of Kat pulling herself out of a well, her fingertips crusted with blackened blood and her skin sallow. She tramps toward us, and the only thing we can hear is the smack of her wet, sock-covered feet on hard ground. Our eyes are wide with horror, screaming, but we cannot move.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2007/11/07/warioware-costume-makes-cosplay-not-fun-anymore/">WarioWare costume makes cosplay not fun anymore</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Wed, 07 Nov 2007 17:00:00 EST.
