Development
SEGA All-Star: Warzone was first announced on June 1 2024, just before the Electronic Entertainment Expo. Developer Takashi Iizuka has revealed plans to offer depth and promised a rich amount of single-player content and multi-layered features for tournament players. Like Bayonetta's series and Vanquish, there are restrictions on how "violent, crazy and over the top" the game can be.

Gameplay
Like Virtua Fighter, SEGA All-Star: Warzone is a 2D fighting game. Characters are organized according to their good/evil alignment. Each character can interact with the environment in a different way. All characters have different unique skills and special moves. The game features a single-player component in addition to multiplayer and tournament features.

The game also features the traditional range of light, medium and heavy attacks from fighting games. These attacks can activate various sets of moves, chain together to form combos, and gradually fill the player's Super Meter. Characters will also have "Character Trait" buttons that activate unique fighting styles and abilities.

Though modeled after Virtua Fighter, SEGA All-Star: Warzone features a new "wager" system. During a combo, the defending player can activate it by pressing X for PS5, A for Xbox Series X, and ZR for Switch. At this point, both players place a hidden bet using a portion of their super meters. The highest bidder wins the fight, either rewarding health or ending the devastating combo. The bet immediately ends the combo and triggers a one-time dialogue between the characters before restarting the fight.

Game stages feature destructible environments and characters' costumes will deteriorate in the course of battle. In the style of Bayonetta and Yakuza, characters will receive significant battle damage, such as exposed muscles, although they won't reach the ends of the aforementioned streaks. Some stages will include items for players to use.
