Instead of just earning XP and ranking up like most multiplayer games, when you start multiplayer you are put in charge of a small group of survivors trying to stay alive and grow their numbers. This grounds the online matches in a world where each player is fighting for the survival of their clan and therefore gives each match more weight and importance.Įrin Daly: The name Factions came from what we call the 'metagame'. Quentin Cobb: We wanted the online multiplayer to focus on the larger story of the player representing a faction (Fireflies or Hunters) and rebuilding their own clan in that faction.

Q: Why is the multiplayer mode called Factions? If you’re a hardened survivor with a clan that never diminishes read on to hear about some exciting developments we were able to make in The Last of Us Remastered. If you’re new to the world of Factions this is a great primer. If you can’t watch Twitch stream we asked Erin Daly, Lead Multiplayer Designer, and Quentin Cobb, Game Designer a couple of questions about Factions multiplayer mode in the game. We plan to show off the new features for PS4 as well as give our primer for those not familiar with the mode on Thursday July 24 at 11:30am PST and 5:30pm PST. We’ll be revealing some upcoming DLC and streaming a basic introduction to the multiplayer mode, Factions, live later this week over on our Twitch channel. The Last of Us Remastered launches next week in North America.
