Revolution
On the occasion of the annual meeting of Sony's top executives, focusing on the “vision of creative entertainment” of the company, Neil Druckmann – Creative Director of Naughty Dog – expresses, through a interview, his excitement about the studio's next title. In fact, he declares that this new project is undoubtedly “the most exciting yet”, promising that this one might well “redefine the general public's perceptions of video games”.
There is a growing appreciation for gaming today that transcends all age groups, unlike when I was growing up. This change is highlighted by the arrival of The Last of Us adventure on television, which I hoped would bridge the gap between gamers and non-gamers […] you have to take risks to find new ideas that resonate with the public. – Neil Druckmann (Sony Creative Entertainment Vision)
Naughty Dog has yet to reveal what their next game will be about, with Druckmann taking care to dodge any questions on the subject. He had nevertheless suggested, during previous discussions, that the studio would only reveal its next title once close to its releasein order to “combat work/life balance issues”.
Great comeback
In Grounded IIa documentary detailing the development of The Last of Us: Part 2, Druckmann also indicated that he had heard fans' pleas for a third installment of the license. He then added that he would only be able to do it if he managed to find interesting enough ideas. He recently returned to his lyrics in an interview alongside rapper Logic, definitely indicating having ideas for a third chapter in the series.
I don't have a script yet, but I have a concept. And for me, it is as exciting as the first and second chapter of The Last of Us. But there is still a throughline for all 3. So we suspect that there is probably one more chapter to tell in this story. – Neil Druckmann (Logically Speaking)
He also explains that after all these large-scale projects, he could see himself withdrawing little by little, to work on smaller scale projects, allowing him to maintain his own creativity and spend more time with their children.
