The saga of MultiVersus is one that could indeed find its way into gaming industry textbooks, standing alongside notable failures like Concord. Despite its imminent closure, the game is set to have its swan song with the introduction of the final two characters: Lola Bunny and Aquaman. This announcement, however, comes at a time of heightened frustration among the player base, with some fans resorting to threatening the developers.
In response to these threats, MultiVersus game director Tony Huynh took to the public with a detailed message, pleading with players to refrain from targeting the development team with hostility. Huynh extended an apology to those fans who were disappointed by the absence of their favorite characters in the game. He expressed optimism that players would find enjoyment in the content rolled out during the final Season 5. Furthermore, he shed light on the complexities of character selection in games like MultiVersus, revealing that his influence over such decisions was considerably less than what some fans might have believed.
Following the news of MultiVersus's shutdown, a significant source of player frustration has been the inability to use in-game tokens to unlock new characters—a feature that was touted as a benefit for those who invested in the $100 edition of the game. This unfulfilled promise could be one of the underlying reasons behind the escalated tensions and threats directed at the developers.
