It’s been rumoured for a little while, but Warner Bros has now confirmed that Scribblenauts Showdown will release on 6th March in North America and 9th March in Europe. It sounds like this is going to be quite multiplayer-heavy, with "more than" 25 minigames for up to four players. Of course, the title’s vocabulary taxing format will be at the centre of all the action.

In fact there’s good news in that department, with the release’s lexicon expanded to some 30,000 words. There’ll be a more traditional sandbox mode where you’ll need to solve puzzles using a combination of words if that’s more your thing, but, as already alluded, it does sound like the focus here will be on the multiplayer above all else.
