MultiVersus's story is a cautionary tale for the gaming industry, a case study in potential unrealized, comparable to the infamous Concord debacle. Yet, the game's final chapter is unfolding, with the reveal of its last two characters: Lola Bunny and Aquaman.
This announcement follows significant fan backlash, some escalating to threats against the development team. MultiVersus game director Tony Huynh responded with a heartfelt message, pleading with players to refrain from such behavior.
Huynh apologized for unmet expectations regarding character additions, expressing hope that fans would still enjoy the final Season 5 content. He explained the complex factors influencing character selection, emphasizing his limited control over these decisions.
Following the shutdown announcement, player frustration mounted over the inability to spend in-game tokens on new characters—a promised benefit for purchasers of the premium $100 edition. This unfulfilled promise likely contributed to the escalating threats.
