‘The Last of Us’ Multiplayer Project Still in Active Development, According to Game’s Director
Ever since that multiplayer project for The Last of Us hit a delay, fans have apparently been a bit obsessive as to when we’d finally see it. So much so, that Naughty Dog’s Vinit Agarwal, the director of the project, had to put out a tweet saying that the game is still very much alive.
Eurogamer reported that Agarwal had last week posted an unrelated post to X regarding his progress with Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Anticipating that fans would swoop in asking about the multiplayer project, Agarwal included that “I’m still working on that game.”
Agarwal never followed up his initial post or responded to any questions, but that didn’t stop fans from leaving dozens of comments regarding the standalone multiplayer game for The Last of Us, which was rumoured to be have been cancelled in the wake of recent Naughty Dog layoffs.
This confirmation also comes on the heels of the recent rumour that The Last of Us Part II was getting the remaster treatment, as well as a “new single player experience” for TLOU that was also teased by Naughty Dog.
Meanwhile, HBO’s adaptation of the video game will head to Vancouver early next year to begin production on its second season, with a premiere targeting sometime in 2025.
Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.
Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”
Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.
And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
