The story of MultiVersus truly merits a spot in the annals of gaming history, right alongside the notable failure of Concord. Yet, even as the curtains begin to close, the developers have unveiled the game's final act, introducing the last two characters: Lola Bunny and Aquaman. This announcement, however, arrives against a backdrop of mounting frustration among fans, with some going as far as to threaten the developers.
In response, MultiVersus game director Tony Huynh took to the stage with a heartfelt message, pleading with the community to refrain from sending threats to the development team. He extended an apology to those fans who hoped to see their beloved characters join the roster but were left disappointed. Huynh expressed his hope 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 the game, emphasizing that such decisions are influenced by numerous factors beyond his control.
Following the announcement of MultiVersus's impending shutdown, players expressed their discontent, particularly over the inability to use their in-game tokens to unlock new characters—a perk promised to those who invested in the $100 edition of the game. This unfulfilled promise might have been a significant catalyst for the heightened emotions and threats directed at the developers.
