MultiVersus Unveils Final Characters Amid Fan Threats to Developers

The saga of MultiVersus is one that could easily be studied alongside other notable gaming industry case studies, such as the failure of Concord. Yet, the game is set to have its final moments in the spotlight with the announcement of its last two characters: Lola Bunny and Aquaman. This news comes at a time when the community's frustration has reached a boiling point, with some fans even resorting to threatening the developers.

In response to the escalating situation, MultiVersus game director Tony Huynh took to a detailed message to address the community. He pleaded with players to refrain from sending threats to the development team, emphasizing the importance of respectful communication. Huynh also extended an apology to fans who were disappointed that their favorite characters did not make it into the game. He expressed optimism that the content in the final Season 5 would still be enjoyable for the player base. Additionally, he shed light on the complexities behind adding new characters to the game, noting that his influence on these decisions was more limited than many fans might have thought.

Following the announcement of MultiVersus's impending shutdown, players expressed further discontent over their inability to use in-game tokens to unlock new characters—a feature that was promised to those who had invested in the $100 edition of the game. This unfulfilled promise may have contributed to the heightened tensions and subsequent threats directed at the developers.
