A leak has revealed new information on the upcoming All of the Us multiplayer game too the series' next sequel. It's been almost two years since The Last people Part 2 was released and developer Naughty Dog still hasn't launched the multiplayer mode it initially promised for the game. As the studio has since announced that the supposed multiplayer mode has evolved right into a standalone multiplayer spin-off, fans are still finding remnants of The Last of Us 2's multiplayer in the game's files.
While All of the Us 2 launched without a multiplayer mode, its predecessor's Factions multiplayer mode was relatively popular. Factions lets players choose between two factions after which take part in several match types to gather points with the idea to upgrade their own weapons and armor or to convert into supplies for his or her respective faction at the end of each match. Fans of the game mode most likely hoped that it would return within the last of Us 2 but that ended up not being the case.
In a number of Tweets, Oops Leaks claims that Naughty Dog was likely to make a The Last of Us battle royale game but eventually rebooted it for something which is supposedly a mixture of Avoid Tarkov and Ubisoft's The Division, with some elements being obtained from All of the Us's Factions too. The new online game will have a “single-player-like” experience, is going to be free-to-play, and can come to the PlayStation 5 as a flagship live service title. It will supposedly be the to begin ten live service games which are planned for PlayStation. Oops Leaks also claims the outline for The Last people Part 3's script is ready but Naughty Dog happens to be busy focusing on other projects, including the aforementioned The Last of Us online game and a completely new IP that is considered a single-player fantasy game.

The Last of Us Part III
Nothing but official statements in the studio, the outline from the script is ready, but the studio is engrossed within the development of these projects. It's possible that development will begin faster than expected because of studio's expansion.

While Oops Leaks guesses that the new spin-off is going to be announced this season with a 2023 release date, another report claims that TLOU's multiplayer game will be coming in 2022 alongside the upcoming remake from the Last of Us. It is also possible that the spin-off will somewhat coincide using the release of the upcoming TV series, which is slated to start airing the coming year.
A All of the Us multiplayer spin-off that combines components from Avoid Tarkov and The Division appears like a pretty good idea and fits the narrative from the series pretty much. If the leak turns out to be true, fans will certainly have something interesting to appear toward either this year or the next when they wait for the series' next major installment.
