Naughty Canine has been engaged on a multiplayer title set throughout the world of The Final Of Us for a while now, and we’ve seen not more than a few items of idea artwork.
Idea artwork, and bulletins that the undertaking has been delayed and even scaled down, following studies that Bungie evaluated the undertaking and deemed it will battle to achieve success as a reside service.
Now, the newest hearsay is that the sport has been fully cancelled internally by Naughty Canine, and the crew is as an alternative taking the most effective components of this multiplayer title, and looking for a house for them in The Final Of Us Half III.
This hearsay comes from The Tipster, and it stays a hearsay for now so take it with a grain of salt. The Tipster claims every little thing beforehand talked about, together with that Naughty Canine selected to cancel the multiplayer title over issues a poor launch would tarnish the studio’s picture.
It’s price mentioning that this hearsay arrived after the information that the principal monetization designer who was engaged on the undertaking left, and after studies that dozens of builders at Naughty Canine had been laid off.
This on prime of studies from earlier this 12 months that Naughty Canine was “re-evaluating” the sport’s path, and affirmation from Naughty Canine that it wished to provide the undertaking “extra time” makes the concept it would’ve been cancelled not as far-fetched as it might have been a 12 months in the past.
Which implies that with all this put collectively, they may every be indicators that the sport is in actual fact cancelled, although it might nonetheless all the time simply be The Tipster taking a shot at one thing that if it turned out to be appropriate, would earn them a whole lot of free credibility for a superb guess.
