Naughty Dog's Next Game Could 'Redefine Mainstream Perceptions of Gaming,' Says Neil Druckmann
The creator of The Last of Us, Neil Druckmann, revealed that the game that Naughty Dog studio is currently working on could redefine the public's perception of video games.
As part of the event, where Sony presented its vision for the next ten years, the Japanese corporation shared the latest interview with Neil Druckmann. In the interview with the dev of The Last of Us and Uncharted series, topics such as the next project of the Naughty Dog studio and the developer's vision for the future of video game entertainment were discussed.
According to Druckmann, the yet-unannounced new IP may be the greatest and most revolutionary game of the Naughty Dog team.
“I've been lucky to work on several dream projects and am currently excited about a new one, which is perhaps the most thrilling yet. There's a growing appreciation for gaming that transcends all age groups, unlike when I was growing up. This shift is highlighted by our venture into television with The Last of Us, which I hoped would bridge the gap between gamers and non-gamers. The show's success has spotlighted gaming, illustrating the rich, immersive experiences it offers. "This visibility excites me not only for our current project but for the broader potential of gaming to captivate a global audience," explained the developer. He then added: "I'm eager to see how this new game resonates, especially following the success of The Last of Us, as it could redefine mainstream perceptions of gaming."
We don't have any information about the next project from Naughty Dog studio yet. Nevertheless, the publication of the mentioned interview may give hope that the first details about the game will be presented during this year's PlayStation Showcase.
On the flip side, Druckmann hinted last year that the studio would reveal its next game shortly before the release, taking a different approach than with previous titles. In this way, the company wants to avoid work-life balance issues that result from announcing too soon what they're working on.
