Naughty Dog Cancels The Last of Us Online, Shifts Focus to Single Player Projects

Naughty Dog has officially canceled development of The Last Of Us Online, a multiplayer game based on their post-apocalyptic action-adventure series. The studio stated that supporting a live service project like this would have severely impacted future single-player game projects. However, they teased that they are working on multiple ambitious single-player games and that the learnings from The Last Of Us Online will inform their future projects. Sony had previously announced a downsizing of their ambitions for live service games.
