In navolging van de eerste beelden rond de The Last of Us multiplayer, zijn vandaag ook de eerste details rond deze multiplayer opgedoken. De game die 14 juni in de schappen ligt, is de nieuwste van Naughty Dog en de eerste game sinds Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception. Deze details komen uit de demo die men kon downloaden wanneer zij God of War: Ascension hadden aangeschaft. In deze demo moest je samen met Ellie en Tess een onheilspellend flatgebouw binnen en daar afrekenen met enkele bloeddorstige Infected.
Een aantal gamers hebben de demo die bij God of War zat tot op het bot geanalyseerd en vonden zo enkele codes die zouden verwijzen naar de multiplayer van The Last of Us. Geen van deze details zijn bevestigd, maar dat neemt niet weg dat we nieuwsgierig zijn.
Op basis van onderstaande details zou de multiplayer ongeveer twaalf weken duren. De bedoeling is dat gamers in deze twaalf weken een clan vormen, trainen, wapens maken en nieuwe leden de clan binnenhalen. Ook NPC's zouden je clan kunnen versterken, maar dit is eveneens een gerucht. Bovendien zou de multiplayer zich afspelen op een grote open map. Bekijk hieronder de details.
''SURVIVE 12 WEEKS''
''A small group of Infected have been spotted heading in our direction. Improve the training of the clan to fight off the Infected and attract new members.”
“You gained [A] clan members by fighting off the Infected attack.”
“You were able to partially improve the training of your clan. You gained some clan members by fighting off the attack.
“You were able to dramatically improve the training of your clan before the Infected attacked. As a result, you gained the maximum new clan members. Marauders have been raiding camps in the area. Improve the training of the group to fight off the Marauders and attract new members.”
Overall Summary of the Multiplayer Leak:
- New feature called “Clans”
- The clan-based system and recruiting is essential to survive hordes of infected (possibly AI or player based clans)
- Possibly free-roam / Big open maps
