Development on the upcoming The Last of Us multiplayer game from Naughty Dog has reportedly been slowed and scaled down.

According to Bloomberg, the game has not been canceled but many of its developers were moved to other projects within Naughty Dog. Destiny developer Bungie, which Sony acquired last year, reportedly evaluated and questioned about Naughty Dog's multiplayer game and its ability to keep players engaged for long periods of time. As a result, the project was reassessed.

The project has been in development for at least four years and was originally intended to be part of The Last of Us Part II. However, it became more ambitious and was ultimately turned into its own game.
