It turns out that The Last of Us Part 2 actually won't have a multiplayer mode, contrary to reports last year saying otherwise. At an event earlier this week, Naughty Dog Lead Game Designer Emilia Schatz confirmed the lack of multiplayer in an interview with USgamer. In a follow-up after the event, Sony re-confirmed the news.

We're focusing on a single-player experience, so we're just making a single-player game for this," Schatz said during the event when asked about what sort of form the previously-confirmed multiplayer mode would take. "Correct, it is a single player game," a Sony representative subsequently clarified over email.

Cool. Having a three year old doesn't let me do much competitive gaming anyway. Single player is much more enjoyable to me.

Where they gonna put the pocket bleeding microtransactions then? Don't they know how this works?

Jp, this just made me more interested tho. Seems they're really about just making a really good single player.

Good, multiplayer totally ruins the cinematic experience. I hate buying a game and being forced to play it.

And whats so amazing about the first game? Because it sure as hell isnt the incredibly predictable story. Lets not pretend the multiplayer wasnt well received.

I don't give two shits about multiplayer in a game like TLOU. Glad the devs are just focusing on singleplayer

How do priorities work? If you make a chair and a table in the same amount of time you were gonna just spend on the table then the quality of both are probably gonna come down a little.

Okay? My response still stands up. Obviously the multiplayer wasnt tacked on or lame if many people liked it and still play it.

They did single and multi so well in the first. It is disappointing. After playing the story it was great to have something that kept it going. Ah well

that's...pretty disappointing to me. I really enjoyed the MP in the first game. I was looking forward to an enhanced version of it in 2.

Won't be a Day 1 buy for me that's all. Not paying full price for a game I'll complete in 12 hours and never touch again.

The multiplayer was a post release update to begin with, there's nothing barring the possibility of an update tacking it on further down the road

We know they're working on it due to job listings. So it is going to happen.

But it's weird they're not saying that it's coming. The Cyberpunk 2077 devs are open it's coming post launch.

Which makes me think they're saving it for the PS5 re-release.
