MultiVersus Unveils Final Characters Amid Fan Backlash

The saga of MultiVersus is one that could easily be studied alongside other notable game failures, like that of Concord. Yet, even as it nears its end, the game has one last act to perform with the announcement of its final two characters: Lola Bunny and Aquaman.

Amidst this news, the community's frustration has reached new heights, with some fans going so far as to threaten the developers. In response, MultiVersus game director Tony Huynh took to the public with a heartfelt message, pleading with players to refrain from sending threats to the team. He extended his apologies to those who were hoping to see their favorite characters make it into the game and expressed his hope that they would find enjoyment in the content of the game's concluding Season 5. Huynh also shed light on the complexities of adding characters to games like MultiVersus, noting that his role in these decisions was less influential than many might have thought.

Following the announcement of MultiVersus' shutdown, players expressed their discontent over not being able to use their in-game tokens to unlock new characters—a benefit promised to those who invested in the $100 edition of the game. This unfulfilled promise may have been a catalyst for the threats directed at the developers.
