Highlights
A well-known leaker sadly confirms the cancellation of The Last of Us multiplayer game, dashing fans' hopes for a tie-in.
The initial game featured a widely embraced multiplayer mode known as Factions MP, which significantly raised anticipation for a multiplayer mode in the follow-up. ViewerAnon, an individual with a proven reputation, also disclosed information regarding the development of The Last of Us Part 3 as well as alterations in the voice cast.
A well-known and trustworthy source, renowned for previously providing exclusive information on The Last of Us franchise, has shattered the hopes of fans longing for a multiplayer tie-in in the series. Since the release of Part 2 in 2020, fans have eagerly awaited news regarding a multiplayer game set in The Last of Us universe. However, amidst the speculation and rumors surrounding the game's fate, things do not appear promising for the dedicated fanbase.
The incorporation of multiplayer modes is not a novel idea within The Last of Us series. The first installment featured a multiplayer mode called Factions MP, which allowed players to experience the strategic and intense gameplay from the campaign in an online environment, set several decades after the outbreak. With the release of the sequel, fans anticipated a multiplayer mode. However, Naughty Dog, the game's developer, instead promised a separate multiplayer-based game or add-on to be released at a later date. The narrative of The Last of Us Part 2 subtly hints at the possibility of a multiplayer game by introducing various factions, including the Washington Liberation Front (WLF), who serve as the antagonist group in control of Seattle; The Seraphites, a religious cult venerating a deceased prophet; The Rattlers, an intimidating biker gang; and, of course, the Fireflies, a militant group known for their significant role in the first game.
Renowned and reliable leaker, ViewerAnon, delivered unfortunate news to Twitter user MHM regarding a new multiplayer game for The Last of Us. Responding to the departure of Anders Howard, the Principal Monetization Designer, after 11 months, MHM expressed their belief that fans should come to terms with the possibility of the multiplayer game being cancelled. MHM added that if it were to be released, it would be a pleasant surprise. ViewerAnon shattered any remaining hope with a Star Trek reference, declaring, "It's dead, Jim."
ViewerAnon, who previously unveiled the development of The Last of Us Part 3 and Ashley Johnson's role as Anna in the HBO adaptation, is the same source behind these revelations. Recent rumors have also circulated regarding a potential remaster of The Last of Us Part 2 for the PS5.
Fans of The Last of Us can keep themselves entertained with rumors about The Last of Us Part 3 as they eagerly await its release, even if the multiplayer game doesn't end up being released. Additionally, there is a potential for Part 3 to feature its own multiplayer mode. Currently, The Last of Us multiplayer game is being developed.
