The Last of Us Multiplayer Spinoff Delayed Indefinitely as Naughty Dog Shifts Focus

Naughty Dog announced it is delaying the reveal of its multiplayer game set in The Last of Us universe with no timeline for release.
The studio is reevaluating the viability and quality of the multiplayer project.
Much of the team working on the multiplayer game has been reassigned to other projects at Naughty Dog, including a new single-player game with an unknown connection to The Last of Us.
Sony slowed down development of the multiplayer game following an evaluation that raised concerns about player engagement.
The delay comes as production of The Last of Us HBO series is on hold due to an ongoing Hollywood writer's strike.
