Dear person replied to this message on the same day journalist Jason Schreierwho revealed in his article for Bloomber magazine that the problems in the development of The Last of Us multiplayer are much more serious than Naughty Dog’s official statement might seem.
Schreier said that the development of the game was suspended some time ago. The reason is thought to be concerns about the overall quality and long-term viability of the title. These doubts should have led to the transfer of a large number of developers to other projects within Naughty Dog.
The Last of Us multiplayer currently has only a small team works, who, together with the management of the studio, reviews and evaluates the possible direction in which the development of the project could go. Taken together, this information indicates significant problems that can significantly delay, complicate, and in the worst case, complete development.
