Yesterday many were taken by surprise by the announcement that the Naughty Dog gave up production of The Last of Us Online. The justification given was the studio’s focus on single-player narrative experiences and in the statement we can see that the studio is working on more than a single player game.
We can read in the statement on its official website:
We have more than one ambitious new single player game what we are working on here at Naughty Dogand we can’t wait to share more about what’s next when we’re ready.
Certainly many will be disappointed with the cancellation of the multiplayer experience of The Last of Usbut this is excellent news for fans of games with an emphasis on narrative, a type of game in which the Naughty Dog has stood out.
