The relationship between Joel and Ellie became the focus, with all other elements developed around it. For the first time in the company's history, Naughty Dog split into two teams while one team developed Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, the other half developed The Last of Us. In the online multiplayer mode, up to eight players engage in cooperative and competitive gameplay.ĭevelopment of The Last of Us began in 2009, soon after the release of Naughty Dog's previous game, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. Players use firearms and improvised weapons, and can use stealth to defend against hostile humans and cannibalistic creatures infected by a mutated fungus in the genus Cordyceps. The Last of Us is played from a third-person perspective.
Players control Joel, a smuggler tasked with escorting a teenage girl, Ellie, across a post-apocalyptic United States. The Last of Us is a 2013 action-adventure game developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Computer Entertainment.
