Naughty Dog has confirmed that it has stopped development on its multiplayer The Last of Us title - known as The Last of Us Online - after concerns that it would impact the studio’s future single-player games.
The Last of Us Online entered pre-production during the development of The Last of Us Part 2 (the one that released in 2020), which notably arrived without a multiplayer mode, unlike its predecessor. In a statement shared on the Naughty Dog blog yesterday (December 14), the studio said that the decision to stop development on the title was “incredibly difficult” and added that the developers are “crushed at the studio as we were looking forward to putting it in your hands.”
