If you've been playing games for any amount of time, you soon get used to the wild boasts made by various developers and publishers as their games near release. Few are as bold as Nate Wells, lead artist on Naughty Dog's post-apocalyptic survival thriller The Last of Us, however.
He took to Twitter to declare that I REALLY can't prepare you for the best MP ever conceived... This is especially interesting as while Sony and Naughty Dog have shown off plenty from the game's single player campaign, the multiplayer aspect is still fairly mysterious. The studio surprised us all by introducing some great multiplayer and co-op modes into Uncharted, so it may be that these are not idle boasts.
The game promises to be a gruelling adventure set after a strange fungal virus has decimated mankind and turned survivors against each other. You'll play as Joel, a man haunted by the loss of his family, as he takes a young girl, Ellie, under his wing.
The Last of Us is due in just under a month, on June 14th, and Sony is clearly pretty happy with the result. The publisher quietly registered internet domains for The Last of Us 2 and The Last of Us 3 this week.
