вЂњ.We are as big a fan of Factions as the rest of our community and are excited to share more when itвЂ™s ready,вЂќ the recent Naughty Dog statement said. But, it could also come packaged as part of a re-release, or as the mode in another game entirely.) Watch the video above to hear from Naughty Dog's Neil Druckmann about The Last of Us Part 2. (My bet - we see it within the first year of the PS5, both as an exciting, unique PlayStation next-gen exclusive, and also something that could be combined as an incentive for people to buy a PS5 Remastered version of Part 2 down the line. Naughty Dog confirmed Factions wonвЂ™t return with the sequel, вЂњhowever, you will eventually experience the fruits of our teamвЂ™s online ambition.вЂќ In short, Naughty Dog may have sort-of-but-not-exactly announced a Last of Us multiplayer spinoff to come in the future.

Thanks to Naughty DogвЂ™s confirmation that multiplayer isnвЂ™t coming to The Last of Us Part 2, but the work on the gameвЂ™s multiplayer mode will see the light of day in another way, thereвЂ™s a chance for it to get its proper due. And with the announcement that The Last of Us Part 2 wonвЂ™t see the mode returned, it seemed like the underappreciated mode was doomed to history. Though it did, and still does, have a dedicated player base, it never reached the heights of popularity games more dedicated to competitive play have. The Last of UsвЂ™ Factions multiplayer mode is one of the more underrated multiplayer experiences of the last decade.
