They should have released all characters that were finished back in May 2024 instead of focusing on monthly releases

We all heard the news about Multiversus shutting down. I can accept that they can't keep adding characters and stages forever. Hurts worse that we won't even be able to play online matches or access the past rifts for fun starting on May 31st, something about how the servers aren't pvp.

However, I think one of the downfalls of this game was the fact they wanted to do monthly character releases. That pace wouldn't have lasted even if season 5 was the last with Aquaman and Lola Bunny. Multiple characters like Daffy Duck, Ruby Rose and Wicked Witch were finished for months now. Who knows who else as Lola Bunny was supposedly finished for a good while now (how true that rumor is is unknown). They should have just released all characters that were finished months ago. The Joker was ready before they shutdown the Beta!

Multiversus could have still done a Beetlejuice event for his movie release, sure. A new rift event and ability to earn skins based on him would still be great. But! Beetlejuice was being worked on during the beta! So, he was finished when the game came back but they decided to save him.

Having over 30 characters at launch back in May 2024 would have been better in the long run. With that many at the start, there would have been less complaints about Banana Guard and Nubia who are only here because they were reused assets. The same would have happened with Pickle Rick! That way, even with the same tedious grind, there is someone for everyone. The only downside would be the wait for new characters. Fighters Currency was good, being able to stock up for future releases.
