Unconfirmed Reports Suggest "The Last of Us II" Multiplayer Feature Paused

The future of The Last of Us Multiplayer, an extension of the acclaimed series, is increasingly uncertain and appears to be experiencing difficulties. Earlier this year, the project was significantly downsized following Bungie's evaluation which identified numerous issues, leading to a reduction in the development team.

A recent report from Kotaku suggests that the whole project has been temporarily suspended. While this does not indicate a total cancellation of what Naughty Dog called their most ambitious project ever, the outlook is certainly not encouraging.
