The story of MultiVersus is one that merits a spot in gaming industry case studies, right alongside the saga of Concord's downfall. Yet, as the curtains begin to close, MultiVersus has one last act to perform: the introduction of its final characters, Lola Bunny and Aquaman. This announcement arrives at a time when fan frustration has reached a boiling point, with some going as far as threatening the developers.
In response, MultiVersus game director Tony Huynh issued a heartfelt statement, pleading with players to refrain from sending threats to the team. He extended an apology to fans who were hoping to see their favorite characters join the roster, and expressed his hope that they would find enjoyment in the content provided during the game's final Season 5. Huynh also shed light on the complexities of adding new characters to games like MultiVersus, noting that his influence over these decisions was more limited than many fans might have thought.
Following the news of MultiVersus's impending shutdown, players expressed their dismay over not being able to use their in-game tokens to unlock new characters—a feature that was promised to those who bought the $100 edition of the game. This unfulfilled promise may have been a significant factor in the escalation of threats against the developers.
