Canceled The Last of Us multiplayer game failed as a product of the COVID-19 pandemic, former director says
Former director Vinit Argawal stated that the canceled The Last of Us multiplayer game was a product of the COVID-19 pandemic, which initially boosted funding for online games. Despite being nearly 80% complete, the project was canceled in late 2023 due to shifting market conditions and Naughty Dog's decision to prioritize single-player narrative experiences.
