McCarthy, however, confirmed with Sony via email that the game is strictly single-player. Indeed, that left the door slightly open for some kind of multiplayer experience. However, Sony followed that statement, saying that the developers wanted to create a robust single-player experience for the game.
Speaking with USgamer's Caty McCarthy during a recent hands-on event for the game, Emilia Schatz, the game's lead designer, said the game would not have multiplayer. However, Sony has officially confirmed the game will be single-player only. Initially, it was thought that The Last of Us Part 2 would have multiplayer elements.

The developer's full statement can be seen below:Īn update regarding multiplayer: /CUd98LgJGC Naughty Dog did not specify if the mode would be a stand-alone TLoU experience or something else. However, the developer did say that it intends to release that multiplayer mode as a standalone experience at some undetermined time in the future. New IP is never a bad thing and as Sony continues to build on titles fans know, it’s also time to showcase some new games alongside the faces of Mile Morales and Aloy.They continued by saying that a multiplayer mode was intended for TLoU 2, but the team ultimately decided to leave it out. Now’s the time to show those off, especially if they’re the return of much-loved franchises. Sony has shown off a lot of great titles but for a long time now there’s been many rumours of secretive “big triple-a” games they’ve been keeping close to their chest. Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart and Horizon: Forbidden West have both been confirmed as games not releasing on launch day, but even a month would be great. I would also like to see some rough release date for the start of 2021. If Sony is able to lock in even a handful of titles like Spider-Man: Miles Morales and even something like the Demon’s Souls remake as launch day titles, it’ll be huge. There is Game Pass, which is fantastic and I suggest you sign up if you haven’t already, but there’s no Halo Infinite at launch. One thing that Xbox doesn’t have going for it coming into this new generation is a great library of new titles launching alongside their machines. A sole PS symbol sitting on the screen presumably from the first time you boot up your console - but give me more! We got a teaser of the UI during the last PlayStation 5 event. Xbox is unifying their UI across all of their consoles and it won’t be going through a major shakeup, but one thing I love about any new generation of consoles is that surprise and glee in a new UI.
It’s the only console that we know will have a change in user-interface coming into the next-generation. I know it’s usually saved for the end of the show but if they have a great price and release date to flash on-screen then the rest of show suddenly becomes more hopeful, especially if you pair it with some great games confirmed for launch day. I’d love for Sony to drop all of this information at the start of the event. Price, Release Date & Pre-Order InformationĪfter Xbox was forced to release their release date, price and pre-order information earlier than planned last week, surely there’s no question we’ll be getting all of that information on Thursday morning? Xbox pre-orders start next Tuesday and there’s no way Sony isn’t going to want their, hopefully competitive, price in consumers ears before they drop money on an Xbox.
