The Last of Us and Naughty Dog are not going through their best moment. For such reason, there are many doubts about the future of the franchise and the studio's next projects. Neil Druckmann, director of the company, was questioned about what is on the way. However, the answer worried fans rather than excited them.

The future of The Last of Us multiplayer is still uncertain

As you probably already know, Naughty Dog has been working on a new multiplayer title for its stellar franchise for some time now. However, the project has not gone as expected and is currently going through a crisis.

It was even said that it could be canceled, but we know that officially it is still going on. Druckmann was asked about the status of the project and his answer was not very hopeful, which worried fans.

During a chat with Entertainment Weekly (via Xfire), the creative merely said he had "no update" on the project. Nor did he share any clues about the short- or long-term future of the saga.

He only stressed that, for now, they are in focused on the release of The Last of Us Part II Remastered and the production of Season 2 of the HBO series. Because of this, some gamers fear the worst for the saga's multiplayer.

Reports stated that the project is for now in the freezer, but that it has not cancelled. So it's unclear what will happen with the multiplayer in the future and if Naughty Dog will somehow manage to take it forward.
