Despite the fact that The Last of Us' multiplayer offering on both PS3 and PlayStation 4 was considered a fairly major success, its sequel is dropping all online functionality. The Last of Us: Part II is a completely single player experience, much to the disappointment of many. However, we know that developer Naughty Dog is working on some sort of multiplayer experience behind the scenes, and it looks set to be something worth paying attention to.
Taking to Twitter, lead game designer Vinit Agarwal backed up a Naughty Dog job listing for an online systems programmer by saying: "Join us. We’ve got big ambitions and need you to help make it a reality."
What this online project actually ends up being remains to be seen, but it gives us hope that it'll be a robust, interesting offering when the team is out there actively promoting its job listings despite one of 2020's biggest games dumping its multiplayer components altogether. At this point, we have to assume its a take on The Last of Us' Factions mode for PS5, but who knows, maybe Naughty Dog will push the boat out and create something completely original for Sony's next-gen system.

I'm expecting a TLOU world set multiplayer stand alone game called "Factions".
Yeah, this is gonna be tlou stand alone multiplayer game, bundled free with tlou 2 ps5 4k & 60 fps edition
I feel weird saying this, but I hope it’s free to play since we know there’s gonna be a ton of micro transactions anyways. (Uncharted 4).
As long as it's a bigger and better what was in tlou and not trying to be too experimental, it will be fine.
Just leave it out of TLOU2 and release it as a separate MP game then that's fine I didn't like MP in 1 at all I stated far late and the team balancing was a joke my level 1 going against lv240 I couldn't get a kill in at all.
I think it'll be a free-to-play online game completely separate from TLOU2 but set in the same world. Sort of like how Apex is set in the Titanfall universe.
I have low expectations for whatever MP they are doing as I LOVED Uncharted 2 MP and TLoU MP and I just get a bad feeling about it after playing Uncharted 4s MP and after so many companies are chasing after a continuous cash flow.
I'm a bit concerned after they introduced pay to win microtransations into the game last time. It was a lot of fun until they did that.

LIKE MOAR LESBIANS LMAO!
The title could make good use of 3D audio and may even include VR support.
