If you’re a bit disappointed we didn’t see the new The Last of Us multiplayer unveiled at the recent PlayStation Showcase, you’re not the only one, and Naughty Dog is aware of it.

In a new announcement by the studio’s Twitter account, Naughty Dog admitted that the The Last of Us multiplayer project they’re working on needed more time before being unveiled, and what’s more, the next game the studio is working on has been confirmed to be a “new single-player experience.”

THE LAST OF US FANS,
WE KNOW MANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING MORE ABOUT OUR THE LAST OF US MULTIPLAYER GAME. WE’RE INCREDIBLY PROUD OF THE JOB OUR STUDIO HAS DONE THUS FAR, BUT AS DEVELOPMENT HAS CONTINUED, WE’VE REALIZED WHAT IS BEST FOR THE GAME IS TO GIVE IT MORE TIME.

OUR TEAM WILL CONTINUE TO WORK ON THE PROJECT, AS WELL AS OUR OTHER GAMES IN DEVELOPMENT, INCLUDING A BRAND NEW SINGLE-PLAYER EXPERIENCE; WE LOOK FORWARD TO SHARING MORE SOON.

WE’RE GRATEFUL TO OUR FANTASTIC COMMUNITY FOR YOUR SUPPORT THANK YOU FOR YOUR PASSION FOR OUR GAMES, IT CONTINUES TO DRIVE US.

No word on when we’ll actually see this new multiplayer project of the studio, but at least we know it’s still being worked on. Naughty Dog did say that we’ll be getting info about it “later this year,” so there’s a few months left for the studio to deliver on that promise.
