Naughty Dog's Decision to Scrap The Last of Us Multiplayer Game Receives Positive Response

Sony and Naughty Dog have canceled The Last of Us Factions, a multiplayer project that had been in development for years. The original idea of expanding the multiplayer mode from The Last of Us Part 1 into a sequel was overshadowed by plans for a sprawling live service game with microtransactions. Some suggest that Naughty Dog could salvage the multiplayer combat elements and create a smaller scale Factions 2, giving players what they originally wanted while not discarding years of work. However, it remains uncertain if this is feasible.
