A standalone Last of Us multiplayer game is on the way, Naughty Dog has announced. The news was shared during Summer Game Fest Live, as TLOU director Neil Druckmann took to the stage to also confirm the leaked Last of Us PS5/PC remake from earlier in the day. That leak led fans to wonder if the enhanced version of the 2013 game would include its multiplayer mode, and now we know that, while it will not include multiplayer, Naughty Dog is working on a standalone The Last of Us multiplayer game with a brand-new story and cast of characters.
According to Druckmann, the game will offer Naughty Dog's «biggest online experience,» seemingly corroborating reporter Jeff Grubb's belief that the game will be a live-service title. Apart from that statement and the concept art below depicting a San Francisco setting, Druckmann didn't share any additional information about the game. However, additional details will be coming sometime next year.
