Naughty Dog is looking for a developer who can work with “next generation graphics” as the devs continue to hire for a new single player game. This will be the studio’s first confirmed game after The Last of Us Part 2.
The job listings that appeared on the studio’s career website advertised ‘single player’ in the header as various recruitment ads were searching for a Level/Environment Designer and a Melee/Gameplay Animator. The ad stated it was looking for an individual who would be able to incorporate intriguing gameplay into Naughty Dog’s future productions. A vacancy for Tools Programmer confirmed that the studio had begun work on its next title as the description stated that the employed professional would be involved with the next gen tech. This advertisement also suggested that this title would be collaborating with the upcoming PS5 console.
Naughty Dog did confirm back in 2018 that it was developing a standalone multiplayer experience that would be based on The Last of Us Part 2. The company also stated that the game would be an existential follow up to the first game’s Factions multiplayer mode that rarely gets discussed anymore. The studio could also be starting work on the third installment in the The Last of Us timeline, as the sequel did not rule out a continuation. There were also talks about an expansion of Uncharted: The Lost Legacy that could end up being a companion to the Uncharted movie that’s currently in production.
Factions MP is a relatively standard multiplayer mode in The Last of Us. Players can lead a group of survivors through a 12 week period as Fireflies or Hunters and focus on clan growth and progress. At the beginning of every game, players will have to gather a select amount of supplies necessary to keep the clan healthy. Serious consequences await the clan should the player decide to leave, adding to the multiplayer mode’s technique of making players feel like they are in a real survival story. All the mechanics and standard tasks of the base game are there, however players of The Last of Us have commented that it doesn’t match up to the solo experience.
While it is unlikely that we will hear any announcements soon, it will give gamers the prompt to revisit Factions from The Last of Us that may heal some of the wounds created by its sequel.
