A brand new report from Bloomberg claims that Naughty Canine has “considerably scaled down” the crew engaged on its The Final Of Us Multiplayer venture, with a small crew of builders remaining whereas the studio “re-evaluates the path” of the sport.
This report additionally claims that Naughty Canine solely launched its assertion on the multiplayer sport’s delay after Bloomberg requested a touch upon the crew being scaled down. That very same assertion additionally confirmed that the studio has a “model new” single-player sport within the works.
To be clear the report doesn’t declare that this venture has been cancelled, although after 4 years in growth and one other replace merely delaying its reveal within the slightest at the very least means that the crew is struggling to search out one thing that works.
A part of that reevaluation is coming from Bungie, in accordance with Bloomberg, who allegedly assessed that the sport won’t be capable to keep participant curiosity.
No matter is occurring with this venture, gamers can solely hope will get resolved quickly.
When Factions launched alongside the primary sport, it was a shock hit for the studio, who added it on as a result of on-line multiplayer was ‘the massive factor’ on the time, and publishers in all places needed to attempt to connect multiplayer to each sport, even ones so clearly single-player targeted like The Final Of Us.
Nonetheless the strategic and intense type of Factions gameplay made it extremely fashionable for a sport that in any other case doesn’t want a multiplayer add on in any respect.
If Naughty Canine can seize that very same essence as soon as once more on this new multiplayer venture, then it’ll very probably have a winner on its palms.
Hopefully the time its being given within the oven helps Naughty Canine discover that feeling as soon as once more.
