Naughty Dog officially canceled its planned multiplayer spin-off of The Last of Us today, ending months of speculation as to the the planned game's status. The reason given? It would come at the expense of the single player games the studio creates.
Sony, who announced plans to create twelve new live service games by the end of its FY2025, has now delayed half of them, according to the company's latest earnings call.
Naughty Dog has announced that the next The Last of Us game will be a multiplayer stand-alone title, though exact information about what exactly this game will be is still not known.
