The Last of Us multiplayer game reveals more concept art and teases a presentation
Naughty Dog is celebrating 10 years of The Last of Us franchise sharing sales numbers and teasing more news about the coming multiplayer game.
Naughty Dog is here to deliver some extra holiday gifts. This time they’ve brought us the second ever piece of concept art for the coming multiplayer The Last of Us title that was recently announced. The franchise is turning 10 years old this 2023, and Neil Druckmann wanted to share some words with the fans before the celebrations begin in June of this year.
“We are so proud to share that the entire The Last of Us franchise has sold through more than 37 million copies globally as of December 2022, and is continuing to reach new and old players every day,” said Druckmann in the company’s blog post. “Even as it turns 10 years old, it feels like The Last of Us has only just begun, and this busy year will certainly show why. After The Last of Us Part I’s successful launch on PlayStation 5 last year, we can’t wait to bring you the PC version on March 3! We’ll have more information on the PC version’s features and specs ahead of its launch. “
“We’re looking ahead to The Last of Us’ 10th anniversary in June, and we’re so excited to share more with you about the future of this franchise. We’ll have some fun surprises for you along the way, but later this year we will begin to offer you some details on our ambitious The Last of Us multiplayer game”
“With a team led by Vinit Agarwal, Joe Pettinati, and Anthony Newman, the project is shaping up to be a fresh, new experience from our studio, but one rooted in Naughty Dog’s passion for delivering incredible stories, characters, and gameplay. We first shared concept art of the project with you last year, and we hope this new piece of concept art below further excites you for what our team is working on.”
Originally devised as a part of The Last of Us 2, the concept became so big that it eventually became an entirely different project. Naughty Dog decided to make it a standalone title, and while it’s not exactly the same multiplayer we saw in the Factions mode of the first game, it’ll have its own story, characters, and expansive plot. We’ll have to wait until this June to learn more about the game.
