The studio behind Sony’s successful first-party IPs Uncharted and The Last of Us has posted multiple job openings for their upcoming unannounced multiplayer game which also happens to be their first-ever standalone multiplayer title.
The Last of Us Part 2’s co-director, Vinit Agarwal, tweeted that the studio is “aggressively hiring” and that the game will focus on “cinematic experience between players”. This isn’t Naughty Dog’s first rodeo when it comes to multiplayer titles as Uncharted 2,3 and 4 featured various multiplayer modes such as Team Deathmatch, Free for All, and Team Objective while The Last of Us featured a multiplayer mode called “Factions” which gained a cult following over the years.
In an interview in 2019, Naughty Dog had stated that The Last of Us Part 2 “would not include an online mode” as it is the studio’s most “ambitious project” and that fans can look forward to something related to the game’s online mode in the future “when it’s ready.” This could indicate that Naughty Dog is finally moving forward with their plans to reintroduce Factions with substantial changes to fit the expansive nature of The Last of Us Part 2.
According to rumors, Naughty Dog also seems to be working on The Last of Us remake which is being developed from scratch for the current-gen and will resemble The Last of Us Part 2 in various aspects.
