Video game developer Naughty Dog, who is responsible for popular video game series such as Uncharted and The Last of Us, has offered an update regarding its upcoming multiplayer game that will take place in the same universe as The Last of Us. The statement acknowledges the requirement for additional time to build the multiplayer project and provides confidence by dropping hints about an upcoming game that will focus on a single-player experience.
Naughty Dog acknowledges that extending the development schedule is required in order to achieve the greatest possible result and expresses pride in the work that its studio has produced up until this point. In addition to working on other games, including the widely anticipated single-player experience, the team will keep working on the multiplayer game and project.
They also convey their appreciation to the dedicated community for all of their support.
This statement comes after a recent piece from Bloomberg that detailed some of the problems encountered during the development of the title. It has been claimed that the leadership of Naughty Dog is considering what path the project will take, which has led to changes within the development team.
The multiplayer project was originally envisioned as a mode for The Last of Us Part II, but as the project has grown, it has become its own independent undertaking.
Naughty Dog has came to the conclusion that the single-player campaign should take precedence, and it did so with the release of the game in 2020. The developer has released some concept art and stated that additional information regarding the standalone multiplayer project will be released later this year.
Naughty Dog's recent successes include the highly anticipated release of The Last of Us Part II in 2020 as well as the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, despite the fact that exact release dates or substantial updates are not yet known. Additionally, the company has earned a name for itself with the critically acclaimed The Last of Us series that airs on HBO.
Fans are eagerly awaiting additional details from Naughty Dog regarding the single-player project as well as the multiplayer game that was mentioned. It is likely that additional enhancements may become available at some point in the future, despite the fact that during the most recent PlayStation Showcase, no significant details were disclosed.
