It turns out that The Last of Us Part 2 actually won't have a multiplayer mode, contrary to reports last year saying otherwise.
At an event earlier this week, Naughty Dog Lead Game Designer Emilia Schatz confirmed the lack of multiplayer in an interview with USgamer.
In a follow-up after the event, Sony re-confirmed the news.

"We're focusing on a single-player experience, so we're just making a single-player game for this," Schatz said during the event when asked about what sort of form the previously-confirmed multiplayer mode would take.
"Correct, it is a single player game," a Sony representative subsequently clarified over email.
