Naughty Dog's New Project Will be More of a TV Show Than a Game
Naughty Dog's Neil Druckmann has shed some light on the new project from the creators of The Last of Us. The developers' upcoming work is expected to resemble a TV show.
The movie adaptation of the hit game The Last of Us will soon (January 16) debut on HBO Max. On this occasion, the game's director Neil Druckmann - who is also taking an active part in the creation of the TV show - gave an interview to New Yorker (via Eurogamer).
Of course, the conversation was mainly about the upcoming release, but we also learned something about Naughty Dog's plans for its next game. It turns out that the developer's upcoming mystery project is to be structured like a TV show. This means fans of the company's work may feel a bit intrigued, as no previous proposal of the company used a similar format. Interestingly, Druckmann added that this time he is not working on the story alone, but is collaborating with a group of writers.
"He [Neil Druckmann - ed. note] revealed that his next project will be 'structured more like a TV show,' and is different from what Naughty Dog has ever created. In addition, he is not writing the script alone or with a single partner. He has gathered a team of writers," reads the article.
Unfortunately, it is not explained how the work on the game resembles the work on a TV show. Also, no specific title drops in the interview with the director. However, given the recent rumors about Naughty Dog's alleged development of a fantasy game or The Last of Us 3, it is possible that it is precisely about one of these items.
All we can do now is be patient and look forward to more concrete information.
