Original Story:
The Last of Us 2 multiplayer mode isn't happening, despite what Naughty Dog developers 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:told press at E3 2018. While people usually think of the emotionally charged single-player campaign of zombie (and human) survival when they talk about The Last of Us, the multiplayer Factions mode also had a unique approach that lent it 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:some surprising longevity among dedicated players - but it 🦹won't be c🎃oming back this time.
"We're focusing on a single-player experience, so we're just making a single-player game for this," lead game designer Emilia Schatz told in an interview. A Sony representative confirmed that it is solely 🍃a single-player game when the outlet followed up.
Naughty Dog had not previously made any official an🌺nouncements about The Last of Us 2 multiplayer. However, these statements do contradict what a pair of co-directors from the studio said - one stating outright that Factions would return, and another saying they could not confirm details but that "there will be multiplayer" in the game.
It sounds like Naughty Dog was at one point working on a multiplayer component for The Last of Us 2, and that the developers probably ඣweren't supposed to discuss it when they did. But some time between E3 2018 and now, th🙈e studio elected to focus solely on creating a single-player campaign. We never would have heard about the multiplayer mode if not for that interview slip-up, so Naughty Dog and Sony never directly addressed its cancelation.

It's disappointing that Factions won't return, but a for a multiplayer gameplay programmer proves th𓃲at the studio is planning to return to online action further down the line. If I had to choose between "gripping single player" Naughty Dog and "surprisingly good multiplayer" Naughty Dog, I'd hesitantly pick the former. But as the girl in that taco shell commercial says, "Why not both?"
