The Last of Us given multiplayer video

Sony has released an official multiplayer trailer for upcoming The Last of Us.

The multiplayer is given the title of Factions, and it features two different game types: Supply Raid and Survivors.

Supply Raid involves players searching for supplies with a 20-life limit, while Survivors has seven rounds per match.

Once a player dies in Survivors they have to sit out until the end of the round.

Both game types support four players per team and there will be seven maps at launch.

The multiplayer will also contain plenty of customisation options, with the ability to change clothing and gestures.

There will also be four default weapon load-outs from the beginning (assault, sniper, support and stealth) as well as four custom slots.

Check out the trailer below.
