The story of MultiVersus certainly warrants a chapter in gaming industry textbooks, perhaps alongside the notable failure of Concord. Yet, the game has its own final act to perform, with the developers unveiling the last two characters to join the roster: Lola Bunny and Aquaman.
This announcement arrives amid escalating frustration from the fanbase, with some individuals going so far as to threaten the developers. In response, MultiVersus game director Tony Huynh issued a comprehensive statement, pleading with players to refrain from directing threats towards the development team.
Huynh offered an apology to fans who were disappointed by the absence of their favorite characters in MultiVersus. He expressed optimism that players would find enjoyment in the content provided during the game's concluding Season 5. He also shed light on the complexities of adding new characters to games like MultiVersus, noting that numerous factors come into play and that his influence over these decisions was less extensive than some fans might have believed.
Following the news of MultiVersus's shutdown, a subset of players expressed their dismay over their inability to use their in-game tokens to unlock new characters—a benefit promised to those who had invested in the $100 edition of the game. This unfulfilled promise might have been a significant factor in the escalation of threats against the developers.
