Naughty Dog’s next “could redefine mainstream perceptions of gaming,” says Druckmann

Set your expectations sky high...

The Last of Us and Uncharted 4 creative director Neil Druckmann has told Sony that Naughty Dog’s next game “could redefine mainstream perceptions of gaming”.

Setting the expectations of players extremely high, Druckmann said he’s excited about what’s coming next from Naughty Dog.

“There’s a growing appreciation for gaming that transcends all age groups, unlike when I was growing up,” he said. “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. 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.”
