Naughty Dog co-studio head Neil Druckmann is working as the author and director of an unannounced recreation. Some speculate it’s The Last of Us Part 3, whereas others take into account the potential for a brand-new IP.
The revelation got here as Druckmann up to date his Instagram bio to notice this position. He hasn’t addressed the brand new bio and sure received’t.
Both sides have deserves to what this new recreation is. He’s largely been concerned making The Last of Us content material and has expressed that it isn’t not possible for a 3rd within the sequence if the dev will get the proper thought. On the opposite hand, it’s been fairly a while because it showcased a brand new IP, and it may be time for the studio to take a while to cobble collectively one thing new earlier than releasing the subsequent massive TLoU entry.
Druckmann has shifted gears over the previous yr, discovering inspiration inside FromSoftware’s lack of a conventional narrative with Elden Ring — a direct distinction to Naughty Dog’s extra story-heavy current day. It’s additionally doable that Naughty Dog will make extra of an effort to “maintain your hand” much less. These collectively simply don’t match the studio’s pipeline for TLoU content material, and so it might make sense {that a} new IP might be in improvement to discover and dip its toes into the water, and who higher to steer the cost than the person who roughly managed to create a franchise empire?
That stated, it might be some time, as Naughty Dog’s realized from asserting video games too early.
