In addition to the leaked reveal of The Last of Us Part I, Naughty Dog also said during the Summer Game Fest that the multiplayer mode for The Last of Us Part II is a standalone game.
Neil Druckmann of Naughty Dog announced the new standalone title, confirming that it’s still in production. Druckmann also added that the standalone game is not ready to be properly seen, but the studio will reveal more next year.
The only thing he showed was a piece of concept art, which has what appears to be the Golden Gate Bridge in the background. If so, that would put the setting of the game out on the West Coast. He also added that the game would be as big as any single-player title the studio has worked on. It will also have a story.
The last anyone heard of the multiplayer, it was still in the works. Rochelle Snyder, Naughty Dog’s senior manager of communications, said in a blog post last September that the “ambitious project” was being worked on.
