Naughty Dog, the prominent programmer behind franchise business such as Uncharted as well as The Last of Us, has actually launched a declaration on its multiplayer title in The Last of Us world. In the blog post, the programmer states it requires even more time than initially anticipated for the multiplayer task, yet softens the impact by teasing an unannounced single-player-focused game.
“We know many of you have been looking forward to hearing more about our The Last of Us multiplayer game,” the declaration checks out. “We’re incredibly proud of the job our studio has done thus far, but as development has continued, we’ve realized what is best for the game is to give it more time. Our team will continue to work on the project, as well as our other games in development, including a brand new single-player experience; we look forward to sharing more soon. We’re grateful to our fantastic community for your support – thank you for your passion for our games, it continues to drive us.”

This declaration begins the heels of a report from Bloomberg, which interacted problems on the growth of the title. According to the record, the growth group has actually been downsized while the workshop’s management picks an instructions.
This multiplayer task was initially in growth as a setting for The Last of Us Part II, comparable to the multiplayer setting of the initial The Last of Us. However, as the extent of both the single-player project as well as the multiplayer setting increased, Naughty Dog made the phone call to focus on the single-player project, which appeared in 2020. In June 2022, Naughty Dog announced that the multiplayer component was now a standalone project as well as shared an item of principle art (over). Earlier this year, Naughty Dog released another new piece of concept art (below) as well as guaranteed even more information on the standalone multiplayer task later on this year.
Naughty Dog’s newest brand new game, 2020’s The Last of Us Part II, got global vital praise with a 93 on Metacritic yet has actually confirmed dissentious amongst gamers. In the moment because that launch, Naughty Dog has actually launched the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, that included remastered variations of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End as well as Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, as well as The Last of Us Part I, a remake of The Last of Us as well as The Last of Us: Left Behind. Perhaps the greatest influence The Last of Us has actually had in 2023 can be found in the kind of the initial period of the HBO collection starring Pedro Pascal as well as Bella Ramsey, which amassed prevalent appreciation.
There’s no word on when we’ll listen to much more from Naughty Dog on either this multiplayer game or the single-player task it pointed out in this declaration, yet with this week’s PlayStation Showcase ignoring to point out any one of the workshop’s tasks, maybe a while prior to we understand considerable information.
