At the very least I can see them being able to (not necessarily do) repurpose their work from TloU Online, either into a part of TLoU3 or maybe even a Lost Legacy style side story set in San francisco.
That said, I feel like Factions isn't what they'll lean into, but rather their new roguelike mode, which is probably closer to what TloU Online was going to be.
| hinch said: Yeah its a shame for people excited for it. Going from the recent The Days Before scam, there is genuine interest in a Zombie MMO. But really it would've sucked up a lot of ND's resources. And that could've gone towards making the TLOU 3, Uncharted (next) or their new IP. That and the recent downturn of live service games like Destiny, its a big risk in turning ND into a multiplayer dev. |
I don't think there was ever a risk of ND being a MP dev. They've been doing MP for a long time but their narrative SP games are what the team culture pushes.
Having an existing live-service title I think would be a boon for any dev to have alongside what they are working on. But, on the other hand, they can now focus on what they excel at.
Speculation still points towards TloU3, a new IP and helping with a new UC, which is all good news!
