The Last of Us Multiplayer is Dead as Naughty Dog Doesn’t Want to Be a Live Service Studio

Naughty Dog’s hyped The Last of Us online multiplayer game, once said to be the most ambitious thing they’ve ever worked on, has been canceled. We’d heard for a while that the project was “on ice” following an unfavorable internal assessment by Bungie. That said, the game was never officially canceled. That’s now changed, with Naughty Dog providing a very clear reason for the change – they realized fully supporting a live service game would essentially mean becoming a live service studio, and they don’t want to do that. “We realize many of you have been anticipating news around the […]

The Last of Us Part II Remastered Lost Levels, Visuals, and Roguelike Mode Detailed Further

Last week The Last of Us Part II Remastered was revealed to the world, with Sony and Naughty Dog promising new visual modes, cut levels, the new “No Return” roguelike mode, and more. Now, courtesy of a new TLOU2 Remastered website, we have a bit more detail on some of these features. First, on those restored “lost levels” – per The Last of Us Part II Remastered website, they’ll be named Sewers, Jackson Party, and Boar Hunt. We don’t know exactly what these levels will entail or where they’ll place in the overall narrative, but we can make some educated […]

Some minor details about this survival mode were shared, but apparently, a Naughty Dog QA tester has revealed some interesting details about "No Return" on his LinkedIn resume (thank you @Joanastic) via @TheLastofUsNews). "Created, implemented, and tested AI dialogue regions in-engine across 12 different No Return roguelike level layouts in The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered", the QA tester mentions in his […]
