The saga of MultiVersus deserves a chapter in gaming history, a cautionary tale alongside the likes of the Concorde. Yet, the game's final act is upon us, with the developers unveiling the last two characters: Lola Bunny and Aquaman.
This announcement arrives amidst considerable fan frustration, some expressing their disappointment with concerning threats directed at the development team. MultiVersus game director Tony Huynh responded with a lengthy message, pleading with players to refrain from such behavior.
Huynh apologized to fans whose desired characters didn't make it into MultiVersus, expressing hope they'll find enjoyment in the final Season 5 content. He clarified that character selection involves numerous complex factors, and his personal influence was less significant than some players believed.
Following the shutdown announcement, some players voiced concerns about their inability to spend in-game tokens on new characters—a promised benefit for purchasers of the $100 edition. This unfulfilled promise may have contributed to the escalating frustration and threats.
