Naughty Dog released its last game, The Last of Us Part II, in June 2020. The developer has kept its focus on single-play experiences with recent franchises like Uncharted and The Last of Us, as well as the Jak and Daxter series in the early 2000's and the Crash Bandicoot series in the 90's.

Naughty Dog is currently working on its first standalone multiplayer game and via Twitter revealed it has a dozen open positions for the game. This includes game designers, programmers, quality assurance, and more.

The Last of Us Part 2 co-director Vinit Agarwal via Twitter stated the developer is "aggressively hiring" for people to work on its upcoming standalone multiplayer game. 

"We're aggressively hiring - apply if you want to be part of bringing the cinematic experience between players in our new standalone multiplayer action game," said Agarwal.

12 positions on such a big team doesn`t seem aggressive, unless they are offering like paying 50% more than that qualified person is earning on the team they are currently working for.

This is their first STANDALONE Multiplayer game, even Uncharted already had MP before the first TLOU was launched.
