MultiVersus Unveils Final Characters Amid Fan Threats to Developers
The story of MultiVersus is certainly one that could be studied in gaming industry textbooks, alongside other notable cases like the failure of Concord. Despite the challenges, the game is set to have its final moments with the announcement of the last two characters to join the roster: Lola Bunny and Aquaman.
This announcement, however, has been met with mixed emotions from the community. Some fans have expressed their frustration to the extent of issuing threats against the developers. In response, MultiVersus game director Tony Huynh took to the platform to address these concerns directly. In a heartfelt message, Huynh pleaded with players to refrain from sending threats to the development team. He also extended an apology to those fans who were disappointed not to see their favorite characters included in the game. Huynh expressed his hope that players would still find enjoyment in the content provided during MultiVersus's final Season 5.
Huynh took the opportunity to shed light on the complexities behind adding new characters to the game. He explained that such decisions are influenced by numerous factors, and his own role in these choices was not as significant as some fans might have believed.
Following the news of MultiVersus's impending shutdown, some players expressed their discontent over the inability to use their in-game tokens to unlock new characters. This was particularly frustrating for those who had invested in the $100 edition of the game, which promised such bonuses. It's speculated that this issue might have contributed to the heightened emotions and subsequent threats directed at the developers.
