Naughty Dog told fans of The Last of Us on May 26 that a multiplayer component of the game, supposed to launch with The Last of Us 2 in 2020, needs more time to develop.
Fans of The Last of Us walked away from Wednesday’s PlayStation Showcase empty-handed after expecting to hear something about a multiplayer version of the franchise, which has been discussed since 2018 and was expected to be shown sometime this year. On Friday, Naughty Dog more or less said the idea, while still in development, needs more time and has no release window in mind.
In a statement posted to Twitter, the studio didn’t say that The Last of Us’ multiplayer game was indefinitely delayed, but nor did it say when or if this idea might actually come to PlayStation.
