Jak & Daxter is on Naughty Dog’s wishlist, but no games in sight
In a sense, they marked a before and an after. After the enormous success of Crash Bandicoot the American studio behind, The evil dog, was faced with the difficulty of making something so memorable, resulting in the fact that the video game saga that followed the marsupial was Jak and Daxter, in which we would have these two namesake heroes and their fight against the Dark Echo and the Forces of Evil. Needless to say, it was a mass success.
However, in The evil dog We know that they usually don’t get more than 3 numbered installments of the same saga (unless your last name is Morgan), Reason why, How? ‘Or’ What Yes Daxter they stayed with their original three installments, a racing spin-off and nothing else from the studio. However, it seems there is a willingness to do something more with this particular couple.
Recently Evan wells, co-chair of The evil dog was asked about fan requests to develop a new installment of Jak and Daxter, replying that these go way beyond just characters on social media, but get drawings, memes, and all kinds of stuff. It’s important to point out that this doesn’t mean they are doing anything, as it made it clear that there is nothing currently in development.
However, the significance of his statement is that they still love the characters, mentioning that seeing what they do in Insomniac with Ratchet and Clank, I wish I could do the same with Jak and Daxter.
It should be noted that this does not confirm anything, as, for example, it was recently reported that the project he would undertake is a The Last of Us remake for PS5. However, it appears from the study that there are intentions to continue with Jak and Daxter, although before they would need the approval of Sony, which does not seem very because of the work after not doing the same with the continuation of Days gone according to the same report. As always, time will tell.
