Naughty Dog has released a statement regarding The Last of Us multiplayer's PlayStation Showcase no show, amid rumours of a struggling development.
While the PlayStation Showcase was filled with several new game announcements including our first look at gameplay for Sony's own Marvel's Spider-Man 2, and a brand new PlayStation handheld in the form of Project Q. However, there was one first party title we were desperate to see from PlayStation and that was Naughty Dog's upcoming The Last of Us multiplayer project which was first announced all the way back in 2019. However the presentation came and went without even a hint of The Last Of Us.
Yet two days later, out of the blue Naughty Dog took to Twitter to comment on the absence of The Last Of Us Multiplayer saying "we've realised what is best for the game is to give it more time" seemingly delaying the title which never even had a release date in the first place. Before also confirming that the studio was working on a "brand new Single-player experience".
