Our newest multiplayer game has a story, and it’s as “big” as other naughty dog games
Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckman revealed new details about the much-anticipated indie multiplayer game The World of Us during today’s festive games summer show.
Originally intended to be a multiplayer mode in The Last of Us Part 2, the team’s ambition has made it clear that it has developed into something well beyond that over the past two years. “This game is great,” Druckmann said. “It’s as big as any single game we’ve done, and in a way it’s even bigger.”
Besides the technical concept above, Druckman emphasized that he has a story of his own, although he also said “the way we tell this story is very unique to this game.” He’ll also have an “all-new cast of characters,” and while his new location hasn’t been confirmed, it looks like the joint photo could happen in San Francisco.
The final name and proper match have not been provided, but Druckman said more details will come next year. The last time we heard about the project was in late 2021, when Naughty Dog had just confirmed it was still coming.
The Last of Us Part 1, a remake for PS5 and PC has also been leaked, and was announced later today, with a release later this year.
