O wow I loved the factions multiplayer in the first Last Of Us, honestly probably the best multiplayer shooter game I've ever played, it was actually visceral, strategic and impactful, it's too bad the next iteration of that is cancelled, was looking forward to it but hopefully they can remake the first Jak & Daxter game now, it's my favorite Naughty Dog Game.

They didn’t cancel it because it couldn’t be made, it’s the fact that it would stop them from effectively working on singleplayer games which for obvious reasons they wouldn’t wanna give up. Given this was their first attempt at a live service game, in retrospect I’m not surprised that they overscoped with this game, not realizing how intensive full production and more importantly maintainance and continued support would be and how that bleeds over into their bigger pipeline. Personally, I’d prefer several new singleplayer releases over a multiplayer game and that seems to be the choice they were faced with.

It's crazy that they couldn't just get rid of the live service aspect to the game and just release it with all of the features they've completed, saying there will be no further updates. If it's good enough, people will keep playing it. It doesn't need live service for that. They could even still have the mtx system from Uncharted 4 to make extra money without needing to provide future updates.

Sad all the hard work will be lost but hopefully they move on with something new quickly. X

They did well with factions, it was very fun and unique. Bummer to hear this, but i hope their next game will at least have a multiplayer mode that they don’t need to invest much into because they’re not bad at it

Fair enough, id rather see them continue with narrative games than focus on a single multiplayer game for years

They really bit of more then they could chew and are punishing the consumer for it. 😭 Like they don't have to be a solely online multiplayer service. The original multiplayer had like zero support behind it. But oh well it would be cool if we got some sort of coop game atleast. Like that survival mode for part 2's remaster

Great news, meaning they will be able to focus on single player games more now

A very sad day. The loss of a proven, unique and amazing multiplayer. And the death of the community that surrounds it. So many good times and good friends. Maybe they will tack something onto the next game but that will be 4-5 years away. How many will care by then, 15 years too late?

Multiplayer was originally promised to be included with TLoU2. People like me paid for the game, expecting to eventually recieve multiplayer. Then it became standalone. I told myself I'd be fine with that, if it were free for people who already bought the promise that it would be included with the base game. Now it's cancelled. I feel ripped off. A portion of the money I spent on the game, and years of waiting, all amount to nothing

Spec can you give us clips of your faction’s gameplay? Maybe some comebacks bro? 😎

Not surprised at all cause Naughty Dog died back in 2017, and cancelled multiplayer is just another nail in the coffin.
