Gaming News After The Last of Us and Uncharted, Naughty Dog’s next video game will focus on this aspect loved by players
As fans eagerly await news about The Last of Us 3, rumors suggest that the studio could highlight this iconic Elden Ring-inspired aspect.
We’re still waiting for the sequel
Fans have been waiting for news for some time. The Last of Us 3. Although we are almost certain that the game will see the light of day thanks to the developers’ passion for this franchise, the official announcement is slow in coming. The latest information on the subject comes from last February, when Neil Druckmann, the director, spoke about the return of the saga: “I don’t have a story, but I have a concept that seems to me just as interesting as the first two Parts. It is independent, but the three stories are connected. SO It could well be that there is another chapter” he said in the documentary Grounded 2.
Since then there has been silence, just like the Uncharted franchise has been missing since 2017. Of course we exclude remasters and ports here, which the players seem to have largely had enough of. However, there are good reasons to believe that Naughty Dog still has a lot to show us and promises to focus on an aspect that is very popular with gamers.
Greater freedom for players
Without ever specifying what game it was, according to the leaker Ben Hanson recently revealed some interesting details about Naughty Dog’s future direction, which is expected to focus on player freedom.
“The sources said y’all aren’t ready to see how great this thing is going to be. I won’t say which game they are referring to, but they compared it to a title that offers a lot of freedom for the players,” he shared.
These comments also echo those of Neil Druckmann, who has previously expressed his desire to break away from “traditional storytelling” by mentioning inspirations such as Elden Ring and comparing it to The Last of Us. “I think that “some of the best stories in The Last of Us are about gameplay, about moving through a space and understanding that space just by looking at it and examining it,” said he to The Last of Us. Washington Post a year ago. Unfortunately, we can’t know more for now, although it’s safe to assume that Naughty Dog is preparing for a 180-degree turn in its future franchises, as was hinted at last July. Druckmann had mentioned several solo projects, but the focus should always be on the strong relationships between several characters. “I promise you, we won’t be The Last of Us studio forever. said Druckmann, as reported Video Game Chronicles.
