The saga of MultiVersus should serve as a cautionary tale in game development, a stark reminder of ambitious projects that fall short, much like the infamous Concord. Yet, the game's final chapter is far from silent. The developers have unveiled the last two fighters joining the roster: Lola Bunny and Aquaman.
This announcement arrives amidst a wave of fan disappointment, some expressing their frustration with threats directed at the development team. MultiVersus game director, Tony Huynh, responded with a heartfelt message, pleading with players to refrain from such behavior.
Huynh offered an apology to fans whose desired characters didn't make it into the game, expressing hope that they'll still find enjoyment in the final Season 5 content. He also explained the complex factors influencing character selection, emphasizing his limited control over these decisions, contrary to some fans' perceptions.
Following the shutdown announcement, players voiced concerns about unspent in-game tokens, a promised perk for purchasers of the premium $100 edition. This unfulfilled promise likely contributed to the escalation of negative reactions and threats.
