The Last of Us - First Multiplayer Screenshots, Info

The multiplayer option is now integrated within the premise of the story from the single player option in basically a 4v4 team death match. With assistance from three allies, you take on another group having limited re-spawns in each round (staying alive is the key) while looting caches litter from the ground to pick up various items which you can use, primarily to craft additional weapons which you can use in that round. 

The first game type is called Supply Raid, and sees players scavenging for supplies with a 20-life limit while the second game type, Survivors, consists of seven rounds with one life per round. Your objective is to survive for 12 weeks with each match played representing a day.
