The Last of Us Multiplayer live-service title was initially slated to be the Factions mode in The Last of Us 2. However, due to the growing aspirations of Naughty Dog, the idea soon spiraled out to become its own game. As iterated above, it has been in development for a long time.

Neil also reportedly hints at a cryptic title, noting that there is “another project that I will not say anything about that’s beyond that, that we are also very much excited for.” However, this secret title could be connected to random pictures in The Last of Us Part 1 that are rumored to tease a new Naughty Dog fantasy IP.

Unfortunately, the release date for The Last of Us Multiplayer project has still not been announced, but the hype around it is brimming now more than ever before.

Naughty Dog’s recent entry, The Last of Us Part 1, was enacted as a great rendition of the overall franchise; it fully encapsulated the olden well-renowned olden allure blended with a modern twist. Its PC version is slated to arrive on March 3, 2023.

Furthermore, Naughty Dog’s Uncharted series has also been a staggering success; most of the team’s games are already outperforming the rest of the competition in the gaming industry. However, the triumph release may soon be surpassed by the upcoming multiplayer project.
