In the meantime, The Last of Us Part II is looking to be the massively ambitious product that Naughty Dog is advertising. Sadly, Naughty Dog put a stop to those plans in order to focus on the single. You might remember that The Last of Us 2 was actually supposed to come with a multiplayer mode. Whether it will be released as a standalone spin-off or a DLC add-on will ultimately remain to be seen. Naughty Dogs The Last of Us Part 2 has been confirmed to receive a multiplayer mode, but it might not see the light of day until 2022. The Last of Us 2 multiplayer data suggests that Factions 2 could include a Battle Royale mode that is what data miners unearthed within the games multiplayer assets. However, this latest statement from Naughty Dog does seem to indicate that Last of Us multiplayer will live on in some fashion. At the time considered to be a throwaway multiplayer add-on, Factions found its own devoted audience, one that expressed disappointment that the game mode would not make the trip to the sequel. Leftover assets in The Last of Us Part 2's files have been unearthed, and show off a range of multiplayer assets and a possible nod to a battle royale game mode.

"However, you will eventually experience the fruits of our team's online ambition, but not as part of The Last of Us Part II. Wanting to support both visions, we made the difficult choice that The Last of Us Part II would not include an online mode. Likewise, as development began on the evolution of our Factions mode from The Last of Us Part I, the vision of the team grew beyond an additional mode that could be included with our enormous single player campaign. "As we've stated, the single player campaign is far and away the most ambitious project Naughty Dog has ever undertaken.

"We wanted to address multiplayer in The Last of Us Part II," reads the statement on the Naughty Dog Twitter account. The Last of Us Part 2 Multiplayer might have included a battle royale.
