The Last of Us Part 2
[ Warning : Mild raider for The Last of Us Part 2 below ]
Even though an prescribed release engagement forThe Last of Us 2’smultiplayer mode remains anyone ’s secure guess , there ’s lots of interesting angles Naughty Dog could take with the DLC . Given howcontroversial theThe Last of Us : Part 2has been since release , a wad rests on having the multiplayer mode make up for what the singe - role player story missed .
Before the loss ofThe Last of Us : Part 2 , Naughty Dog confirm that a multiplayer mode is in the work , but they explained it was n’t possible to launch it with the undivided - story biz due to the size of both projects . “ As development begin on the phylogeny of our Factions manner from The Last of Us Part I , the sight of the team grow beyond an extra fashion that could be included with our tremendous single - role player movement , ” Naughty Dog enounce a statement . “ Wanting to support both visions , we made the difficult choice that The Last of Us Part II would not admit an on-line mode . " Still , with confirmation thatmultiplayer DLC forThe Last of Us 2will come at some point , it ’s deserving think over what this could look like .
TheoriginalThe Last of Ushad a multiplayer mode title ‘ Factions , ’ which players appreciate since it gave them an opportunity to extend their gameplay beyond the undivided - player experience . junto allowed players to choose to align with one of two factions , the Pittsburgh Hunters or the Fireflies . Players are n’t allowed to alter their choice until the multiplayer story experience is over . The overall objective is to build one ’s clan by reaching the faction ’s goals and collecting supplies . It would n’t be surprising if Naughty Dog introduce alike concepts in the sequel ’s multiplayer mode , but given how differentThe Last of Us : Part 2was from its predecessor , there ’s a precedent that they may do something completely dissimilar .
What Naughty Dog Should Do With TLOU2’s Multiplayer Mode
It would be easy enough for Naughty Dog to cheer something similar toThe Last of Us 2.To shake things up , they could replace the first plot ’s faction with the new ones introduced in the subsequence – namely , the WLF andSeraphites / Scars . However , an upshot with this would be that it does n’t give a lot of chance to integrate Jackson County – Ellie and Joel ’s rest home – into the multiplayer mannequin . The Last of Us 2has been strongly dissentious since it carve up the player ’s time between Ellie and Abby , Joel ’s killer . If the game was to only centre on WLF and the Scars , it may repeat the misunderstanding of focus too much on Abby ’s storyline . Even if Abby is n’t mentioned in the story , it would still put on the line being repetitive and forgetting what fans loved so much in the original – Ellie and Joel .
Naughty Dog has an opportunity to make up for what it arguably did wrong in the subsequence by giving too much aid to Abby and her interactions with WLF and the Scars . Many fans were disappointed there was so little play metre and cutscenes sport Joel , so multiplayer mode could explore the period of time between the first and second game when Joel and Ellie determine into Jackson County . It could go into details about the inner workings of the settlements and its indweller , which is one matter thespian expected the continuation to do . If the developers wanted to makeThe Last of Us 2’smultiplayer mode similar to that of the first game , Jackson County could be one of the factions to opt from , and really any of the foes that have been encountered in the games would be believable threats to the settlement .
There ’s a heap of way for Naughty Dog to makeThe Last of Us : Part 2’smultiplayer mode exceed expectations , but with no release date in sight , fan of the dealership will have to sit around tight for the time being .
