Contrary to widespread rumors about the fate of the online project The Last of Us, work on the game continues. Back in May of this year, information appeared from Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier that the game’s creators from Naughty Dog had slowed down the development process and reduced the team involved in the spin-off in order to rethink the concept after criticism from Bungie specialists, famous for their attention to online games .
Later, reports appeared from several sources about the alleged termination of work on the project, which, according to information from Kotaku, became the reason for layoffs within the studio.
However, Naughty Dog itself later stated that although they would have to spend more time on the multiplayer version of The Last of Us, they did not give official statements about the cancellation of development, leaving information about the possible termination of the project without confirmation.
