MultiVersus Adds Two New Characters Amid Player Backlash

MultiVersus's story is a cautionary tale for the gaming industry, comparable to the infamous Concord debacle. Despite its impending closure, the game's final chapter unfolds with the addition of two highly anticipated characters: Lola Bunny and Aquaman.

This announcement, however, hasn't been met entirely with enthusiasm. A significant portion of the fanbase has expressed profound disappointment, with some resorting to threats against the development team. In response, MultiVersus game director Tony Huynh issued 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 complexities involved in character selection, emphasizing that his influence was less extensive than some players believed.

The game's shutdown has also sparked controversy regarding in-game tokens. Players who purchased the premium $100 edition were promised the ability to spend their tokens on future characters, a promise now seemingly unfulfilled, potentially contributing to the negative backlash and threats.
