MultiVersus Director Breaks Silence On Game's Cancellation, Responds To Threats Against Devs

Following the announcement that the fighting game MultiVersus is shutting down this May, Player First Games studio boss and game director Tony Huynh has released a statement reflecting on the announcement in which he also spoke out against those who are issuing violent threats against the game's developers.

Huynh said fans are entitled to speak their minds and share opinions on MultiVersus, but there is a limit. "When there are threats to harm it's crossing the line. I hope that you can take a step back and realize that this is an extremely sad time for the team," Huynh said. "I am in deep mourning for the game. Nobody wanted this outcome and it wasn't from lack of caring or effort."

The developer added, "While I'm sad about the outcome, I will forever be grateful for the opportunity given to us by Warner Bros. Games and to each and every developer on the Player First Games and WB Games teams." Hunyh also thanked every IP holder for entrusting the studio with their respective franchises and characters.
