MultiVersus's story is a cautionary tale for the gaming industry, a stark reminder of ambitious projects that fall short, much like the ill-fated Concord. Yet, the game's final chapter is about to unfold, with the developers unveiling the last two fighters: Lola Bunny and Aquaman.
This announcement comes against a backdrop of fan frustration, some expressing their disappointment through disturbing threats directed at the development team. MultiVersus game director Tony Huynh responded with a heartfelt message, pleading with players to refrain from such behavior.
Huynh offered an apology to fans whose desired characters didn't make it into the game, expressing hope that they'll still find enjoyment in Season 5's content. He explained the complex factors influencing character selection, emphasizing that his personal authority in these decisions was less than some players believed.
Following the shutdown announcement, some players voiced concerns about their inability to spend in-game tokens on the promised new characters—a perk for buyers of the premium $100 edition. This unfulfilled promise may have contributed to the escalating threats.
