MultiVersus Devs Address Physical Threats After Shutdown News

The gaming community has been buzzing with the recent news about MultiVersus, the crossover fighting game from Warner Bros. and Player First Games. The game, which brought together iconic characters like Batman, Shaggy, and Bugs Bunny, will be shutting down its servers after Season 5. This decision has sparked mixed reactions, with some players expressing disappointment and others even resorting to extreme measures like threats against the developers. Let’s dive into what’s happening and why this is such a big deal.

The End of MultiVersus

Last week, Player First Games announced that MultiVersus will conclude with Season 5, and its servers will go offline in May. This comes just a year after the game’s launch, leaving many fans shocked. While offline modes like local play and training will still be available, the online experience will be gone for good.

Players can no longer make real-money purchases, but they can still use Gleamium and character tokens until May 30. After that, the game will be removed from all major platforms, including PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, Steam, and Epic Games Store.

Fan Backlash and Threats

The announcement didn’t sit well with many players, especially those who invested in the $100 Founder’s Pack. Some feel “scammed” due to the lack of a refund policy and the sudden shutdown. The situation escalated when developers received physical threats, prompting Tony Huynh, the game’s director, to address the community.

Huynh expressed his sadness over the game’s closure but emphasized the team’s dedication and hard work. He also condemned the threats, reminding everyone that such behavior is unacceptable. The developer community rallied around Huynh, with many defending his integrity and passion for the game.

What’s Next for Warner Bros. Games?

This shutdown adds to a series of setbacks for Warner Bros. Games, including the underwhelming launch of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. The company has faced significant financial losses, and its focus is now shifting to core franchises like Harry Potter, Mortal Kombat, and DC.

Despite the challenges, Warner Bros. remains committed to delivering quality games. Fans can look forward to upcoming titles like the Wonder Woman game from Monolith Productions and the Batman: Arkham Shadow VR experience.
