Naughty Dog Has 'More Than One' Ambitious PS5 Single Player Game on the Way | Push Square
Alongside confirmation that it’s cancelled its hotly anticipated The Last of Us Multiplayer project, Naughty Dog sought to reassure fans by confirming it has “more than one” ambitious single player titles in the works.
