The Last of Us’ Factions multiplayer mode is one of the more underrated multiplayer experiences of the last decade. Though it did, and still does, have a dedicated player base, it never reached the heights of popularity games more dedicated to competitive play have. And with the announcement that The Last of Us Part 2 won’t see the mode returned, it seemed like the underappreciated mode was doomed to history. Thanks to Naughty Dog’s confirmation that multiplayer isn’t coming to The Last of Us Part 2, but the work on the game’s multiplayer mode will see the light of day in another way, there’s a chance for it to get its proper due. Most importantly, being separated from a The Last of Us campaign may be the best thing to happen to Factions.
