Game news The Last of Us: The multiplayer standalone announced with an image at Summer Game Fest 2022!
On the Summer Game Fest stage, presenter Geoff Keighley was joined by Neil Druckmann, co-president of Naughty Dog and creator of The Last of Us. The famous director took advantage of the event to talk about his flagship license , and announce in passing a new project designed for multiplayer games.
The Last of Us as a duo
The Last of Us license is at the heart of the Summer Game Fest! After the leaks concerning the remake of the first opus and the highlighting of the series produced by HBO, Neil Druckmann took advantage of the event to talk about a
project still secret. Without sharing a title or revealing gameplay, this new software presents itself as a The Last of Us multiplayer experience.
We’ve been talking about a multiplayer experience for some time now The Last of Us Part II. As Neil Druckmann explained, this project has grown to such an extent that it is now thought of as a complete stand-alone, offering a story never before told with new characters. The game would be “similar to previous solo experiences developed by Naughty Dog before, in an even more ambitious way” according to Neil Druckmann himself.
An image that speaks volumes
If the co-president of Naughty Dog did not wish to reveal more, he still wanted to share with the community an image on which it is possible to see two characters, as well as a city in ruins in the background. This important city in the United States was not named by the creator of The Last of Us, but the details of the image reveal enough to guess the name of this next destination. A major detail is hidden at the bottom of the image: it seems that we can see the Golden Gate Bridge, the immense inseparable bridge of San Francisco.
Nothing has been confirmed yet and as Neil Druckmann points out, we will have to wait until next year before hearing more about this new game.

What is Summer Game Fest?
No E3 this year, but we can still count on another world-class event: the Summer Game Fest, a big show dedicated to announcements of video games to come this year or the following years. It was in 2020 that journalist and host Geoff Keighley launched this now unmissable festival for the first time. Last year, the show featured stunning images from Elden Ring; so inevitably, the third iteration raises high expectations.
