There’s more new information related to the multiplayer mode of The Last of Us and this time all the information has generated from a certain leak that shows the company is working toward a dedicated clan-based survival mode.
Although Naughty Dog, only recently, released the first ever screenshots for The Last of Us’ multiplayer mode, the company didn’t really state as to what we might actually see when the mode comes around. As far as specific mentions are concerned, the images did point to flamethrowers and grenades alongside collectibles for the mode.
However, the main cause of concern here is the fact that although the game is due to be released next week, Naughty Dog is yet to provide a single detail about the multiplayer and as to how it will pan out for the fans.
Nonetheless, the leak aims to provide all the required details about the game’s multiplayer mode and states that the in-game Clans will deal with groups of NPC players the user can train and keep alive from the ones who are infected.
Moreover, the matches in the mode are said to take place over a number of in-game weeks, and during this time each human player or team will have the option to add Clan members or let them die from infection, starvation and enemy incursions.
While nobody is quite sure if these characters will be available on-screen or if we’ll just hear details of their work in the game, the list already shows a massive list of NPC names and statuses that describe about these characters’ whereabouts.
It has also been stated that a Clan's rate of success and growth will be affected directly by the player’s performance during each round of the multiplayer mode. Here on, whatever collectibles the player gains will be turned into supplies.
Clan members can also be sent on various missions to rescue other survivors and improve their skills in the process. The post gives us examples like: “[The NPC] is spit-roasting a raccoon.” “Gangrene is beginning to set in for [another NPC]."
In these kinds of situations, the team can also learn abilities such as fishing, weapon crafting, botany, and more that will give the player some new perks like food items, health items and more) which give you perks (a new machete/food/health items).
Other details include lists of the in-game weapons for the mode, crafting items and character customization. Note that there are at least 150 different types of hat available for the player.
Naughty Dog is expected to arrive with some kind of information for the game’s multiplayer in the upcoming days.
