MultiVersus's story is a cautionary tale in game development, comparable to the infamous Concord debacle. Despite its impending closure, the developers have announced the final two characters gracing the roster: Lola Bunny and Aquaman.
This announcement follows significant fan backlash, with some resorting to threats against the development team. In response, MultiVersus game director Tony Huynh issued a public statement condemning the threats and appealing for civility.
Huynh apologized to fans whose desired characters weren't included, expressing hope that they'll find enjoyment in the final Season 5 content. He emphasized the complex factors influencing character selection, clarifying his own role was less decisive than some players believed.
The shutdown announcement also ignited controversy regarding unspent in-game tokens for players who purchased the premium $100 edition. The inability to utilize these tokens, a promised benefit, may have contributed to the escalation of threats.
