Naughty Dog’s Next Game to Be “More Like a TV Show” Than Any Previous Titles

Naughty Dog

While we’re getting The Last of Us adaptation of the game set to premiere next month, Naughty Dog has not only that cooking, but also a new game. From the sound of it, Naughty Dog’s next game sounds like it will be more cinematic in scope compared to the studio’s other projects (which played out like movies as well) based on Naughty Dog co-president Neil Druckmann’s latest comment about it.

In a feature that detailed Naughty Dog’s journey to HBO TV’s The Last of Us TV series, we learn that creator Neil Druckmann’s next project is set to be different from other Naughty Dog games in that it will be “more like a TV show” compared to the studio’s previous projects.

His next project, he revealed, was a game that was “structured more like a TV show” than anything else Naughty Dog had made—for which he’d taken a highly unusual step. He wasn’t writing the script alone, or with a single partner. He was assembling a writers’ room.

With Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us Part II released in 2020, it’s a toss up what the studio is working on next. Could it be The Last of Us Part III? Perhaps they’re revisiting the Uncharted franchise? Or maybe a new franchise is set to be revealed altogether? Whatever it is, hopefully, we hear about it soon. 

The Last of Us TV series is set to premiere on HBO and HBO Max on January 15, 2023. As for the game, you can read our review of The Last of Us Part II right here.
