What comes as a surprise is that the upcoming The Last of Us Part II doesn't have a multiplayer mode unlike the original The Last of Us, which focused on faction wars and was highly regarded among The Last of Us community.

Fans did show their displeasure when Naughty Dog confirmed earlier this year that that the factions mode won't be returning in the sequel, however they do have something big in works for the multiplayer fans.

Coincidentally this new listing confirms that Naughty Dog is indeed working on something big in the multiplayer department and is definitely in works for the Play Station 5 since The Last Of Us Part II is most probably the last big exclusive from them this generation.

This new secret project maybe a standalone multiplayer game set in The Last of Us universe or maybe something new entirely who knows? As of now we can only wait and see.
