MultiVersus presented two last characters while fans threaten game developers

The saga of MultiVersus should be a case study in game development, a cautionary tale alongside the infamous Concord debacle. Despite its impending closure, the game's final act unfolds with the reveal of two highly anticipated characters: Lola Bunny and Aquaman.

This announcement, however, arrives amidst a wave of fan discontent, some expressing their disappointment with alarming 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 find enjoyment in the final Season 5 content. He also explained the complex factors influencing character selection, emphasizing his limited control over the process, contrary to some fans' perceptions.

The shutdown announcement further fueled frustration, particularly among players who purchased the premium $100 edition anticipating the ability to spend their in-game tokens on new characters. This unfulfilled promise may have contributed to the escalating threats.
