### Leak

Prior to its announcement in November 2021, the existence of *Nickelodeon Multi-Versus* was leaked and rumoured to exist by multiple sources online.Initially, a user on the subreddit r/GamingLeaksandRumours, claiming that the game first came about early 2019 as a result of the release of *Super Smash Bros. Ultimate* and Warner Bros workers being aware of the "Ultra Instinct Tommy" internet meme. They had also claimed the idea of a crossover influenced the filming of *The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run*. DeBiedma claimed that he had received secret inside information about the game. The image was later deleted after Warner Bros. submitted a DMCA takedown request, which DeBiedma stated was a "hard confirm" of the photograph's veracity. The leak included Dal R'EI from *Star Trek: Prodigy* and Parker J. Cloud from *MiddleMost Post* as playable characters instead of Aang and Clyde McBride. Danny Phantom and Lincoln Loud’s designs were also updated to be shown in the trailer. Internal game design documents for the game were also leaked on ResetEra.
