MultiVersus's story is a cautionary tale in game development, comparable to the infamous Concord debacle. Despite its impending closure, the developers have unveiled the final two characters gracing the roster: Lola Bunny and Aquaman.
This announcement follows significant player backlash, with some resorting to threats against the development team. MultiVersus game director Tony Huynh responded with a public statement, pleading with players to refrain from such behavior.
Huynh offered apologies to fans whose desired characters were not included, expressing hope that they would still find enjoyment in the final Season 5 content. He explained the complexities of character selection, emphasizing that his role in these decisions was less influential than some players believed.
Further fueling the negative reaction, some players expressed anger over their inability to spend in-game tokens on the new characters—a promised benefit for purchasers of the premium $100 edition. This unfulfilled promise may have contributed to the escalation of threats.
