In September 2019, lead game designer Emilia Schatz spoke to USgamer and said:
‘We’re focusing on a single-player experience, so we’re just making a single-player game for this’.
That led to some fan outcry, but Naughty Dog has acknowledged that they are "as big a fan of Factions as the rest of our community" in the following statement.
Could "the fruits of our team's online ambition" be a potential standalone multiplayer title? We'll surely find out once the game launches, but for the time being, Factions is included in the first game on PS4 and is well worth a play.
