The Last of Us: a first image of stand alone multiplayer, Naughty Dog releases some info

As we headed quietly towards the end of the Summer Game Fest 2022 conference, Neil Druckmann joined Geoff Keighley on stage to discuss, of course, The Last of Us. If the officialization of the remake - baptized The Last of Us Part I - did not surprise anyone because of the leak that preceded the event, the director of the series has on the other hand unveiled a concept art of the famous stand alone multiplayer whose color we have still not seen. And according to him, this is not an anecdotal project.



"What I can tell you is that the game is as huge as any other single-player game we've made, even bigger in some of its aspects, he explained. It has its own story - by the way, the way we tell it is unique to this game. It also introduces new characters and takes place in another location in the U.S. Vinit Agarwal, Anthony Newman and Joseph Pettinati - Uncharted veterans and The Last of Us - are spearheading the project, and you'll see more of them next year." That should make fans salivate.

We recall that initially, this "Factions" mode was supposed to land at the same time as The Last of Us Part II, but the developers of Naughty Dog preferred to take their time in order to offer something really different compared to the multiplayer of The Last of Us. Knowing the talent of the studio, we can expect a result to match.
