According to reports, Sony also approached Bungie, another studio under its umbrella, to evaluate Naughty Dog’s work on the Last of Us multiplayer game. Bungie reportedly expressed doubts about the game’s ability to maintain long-term player engagement. Bungie’s experience with the Destiny franchise likely contributed to their insights, although it is worth noting that Destiny and The Last of Us are vastly different games.
On a positive note, Naughty Dog confirmed that they have multiple games in development, including a brand new single-player experience. While it is known that the studio has been working on at least one other game, it remains unclear if this single-player title will continue the main story of The Last of Us. Naughty Dog expressed their eagerness to share more details about their projects in the near future.
