The Last of Us announces the delay of its multiplayer and rumors of cancellation grow

There is no doubt that these last two years have been very fluctuating for the saga The Last of Us. On the one hand, it became a trend on social networks for many weeks due to the premiere of the series on HBO; but, on the other, Naughty Dog has been harshly criticized for having launched the first installment on PC with many errors.

Now, the most recent controversy comes from the hand of the multiplayer game. After the Sony event, PlayStation Showcase 2023, many fans of the saga wondered what had happened to The Last of Us and why it was not present with new multiplayer advances.

Through a statement, the developer company sought to dispel doubts in this regard, but it has only lit more fires on social networks, especially Twitter. They detailed that they are forced to delay the release of this game.

The Last of Us multiplayer is delayed

“Last of Us fans:

We know many of you have been excited to hear more about our The Last of Us multiplayer game. We’re incredibly proud of the work our studio has done so far, but as development has continued, we’ve realized that it’s in the best interest of the game to give it more time.”, reads the publication.

Once the information was published, rumors of a cancellation of the project began to be shared. Journalist Jason Schreier claims to have four reliable sources that detailed the reasons for the delay.

It would all be because Naughty Dog would have started a process of reviewing the quality of the product and also evaluating the long-term viability of the game. At the moment, no layoffs have been reported at the company.
