This game was intended to complement The Last of Us Part 2, but its development became too complicated, leading Naughty Dog to prioritize its efforts on single-player games. The decision to cancel the project was attributed, in part, to Bungie&#8217;s opinion, which warned about the considerable workload that a live multiplayer game would require.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, in his new stage, <strong>Agarwal has shared through his social media that he is working on a multiplayer game using Unreal Engine 5<\/strong>.
