Last of Us Part 2 multiplayer mod ‘canceled by Sony’
Covered by 3 sources · 3 articles
A fan-made multiplayer mod for The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered has been shelved after Sony contacted its creator and requested its removal. The project, which had been in development and was scheduled to launch this month, addressed the absence of competitive multiplayer in the remaster - a notable omission given the original Part 2's planned-but-abandoned online component. The mod team announced the cancellation following Sony's intervention, effectively ending what would have been a community-driven attempt to restore multiplayer functionality to the game.
- Sony intervened to stop a fan mod adding multiplayer to The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered before its planned release.
- The mod addressed the remaster's lack of online play, filling a gap left by the original game's scrapped multiplayer.
- The cancellation marks another instance of rights holders blocking unauthorized content despite community demand.
Highlights the tension between player desire for features and publisher control over modding, especially when official versions lack functionality fans want restored.
