Melalui sebuah pesan singkat, padat dan juga sangat jelas, pengembang game The Last of Us Part II, Naughty Dog, mencoba menjelaskan kepada gamers mengapa mode multiplayer ditiadakan dalam sekuel game The Last of Us. Naughty Dog menekankan pesannya pada kalimat bahwa komponen online yang semula ada dalam pengembangan sekuel game ini telah bercabang menjadi “sesuatu” yang lain.
Nah, agar tidak salah persepsi, silahkan simak pesan lengkap Naughty Dog di bawah ini :
We wanted to address multiplayer in The Last of Us Part II. As we’ve stated, the single-player campaign is far and away the most ambitious project Naughty Dog has ever undertaken. Likewise, as development began on the evolution of our Factions mode from The Last of Us Part I, the vision of the team grew beyond an additional mode that could be included with our enormous single-player campaign. Wanting to support both visions, we made the difficult choice that The Last of Us Part II would not include an online mode.
However, you will eventually experience the fruits of our team’s online ambition, but not as part of The Last of Us Part II. When and where it will be realized is still to be determined. But rest assured, we are as community and are excited to share more when it’s ready. big a fan of Factions as the rest of our community and are excited to share more when it’s ready.
—Naughty Dog
