Three multiplayer armour models for Ellie have been discovered hidden within the files of The Last of Us Part 2.
Content creator Speclizer located the files tucked away within the game. While there is a possibility that these armour models for Ellie were originally intended to serve as placeholders during The Last of Us Part 2’s multiplayer development, it is intriguing to see what Naughty Dog was working on before it became a standalone game.
As Speclizer mentions, there is a chance these models could be unfinished versions of what will eventually be utilised in the multiplayer mode of TLOU2 (whenever that may be).
In addition to these armour levels, Speclizer also discovered “six multiplayer backpacks that [they] have not been able to load into the game”. These backpacks are “assault, melee, sniper, stealth, support, and tactical”.
Speclizer stated that if they find a way to make these backpacks work, they may create another video to showcase them.
Furthermore, Speclizer discovered a large multiplayer map hidden within The Last of Us Part 2. The size of the map led the creator to surmise that Naughty Dog originally intended for The Last of Us Part 2 to include a battle royale mode.
There is still no release date for TLOU2’s multiplayer game, although Naughty Dog has reassured fans that it is in the works and loves what the team is doing.
