The Last of Us Part 2 Multiplayer Mod Cancelled at Sony’s Request
A PvP multiplayer mod for The Last of Us Part 2 on PC is no longer going to be released after the mod maker says it was contacted by Sony Interactive Entertainment and asked not to release the project to the public.
Sony has put an end to a PvP multiplayer mod for The Last of Us Part 2 on PC. Speclizer, the modder, announced the cancellation on social media, stating that Sony Interactive Entertainment had requested they not release the project to the public. The mod had been in development since January 2026 and was initially expected to be released this month.
Speclizer shared 25 minutes of gameplay from the mod back in June and revealed that it included a payment component through Patreon. The cancellation may disappoint fans of The Last of Us multiplayer, as Naughty Dog had also cancelled its own official multiplayer project set in the game's world back in late 2023 due to the resources required for post-launch content and the impact on future single-player game development.
Former Sony executive Shuhei Yoshida praised the mod, and the game's Online director Vinit Agarwal maintains that it was "the best multiplayer game they’ve ever played."
