Naughty Dog Hires For A Multiplayer Game, Is There Anything Beyond The Last Of Us Part 2?

An assumption presumes good news for all fans of home games N, in fact, it is news of a few hours that the Californian studio is looking for personnel for a potential multiplayer game. The announcement refers to the search for multiplayer game experts to help the development team create titles with a layered and deep game economy with rewards such as cosmetic and other equipment. All this portends in a possible announcement of a Game with a Live Service developed by the Cagnaccis or a contribution to the work on stand alone multiplayer by The Last of Us Part 2 announced a long time ago but gone quietly for more than six months now.

In fact, according to the statements of Naughty Dog leaked and reported on the Gamespot site we can read that the candidate that will be requested will help to:

to create avenues for self-expression for our players, (as well as) ensure a solid longevity for our games and give our players great rewards to strive for

It therefore seems that the American software house either working on a large project in which to reward the player for their performances or simply for the experience accumulated during the multiplayer sessions. Obviously for the developers of Naughty Dog it is not the first time that they have looked into the components of titles multiplayer with examples such as the competitive of the first The Last of Us and the last Uncharted, but as already mentioned, the sector for multiplayer for the second chapter of the franchise dedicated to Ellie, and certainly such a figure could be useful, even if as we have already said a lot of time has passed since the latest news presented on the title.

However, we cannot exclude with absolute certainty other titles coming up, perhaps new IP, or even a sequel for the two series as perhaps a third chapter for The Last of Us Part 3 or a new game. In fact, Neil Druckmann, one of the leaders of the study recently stated that: “The next thing could be a Part 3 (…) or it could also be a new IP”, thus releasing little specific information.

What we can concretely deduce from these news, however, is the scope of the project, since in addition to the announcement we have discussed so far, there are further 40 open positions for other general development tasks on video games and single player titles. We therefore look forward to new news from the developers.
