Leading game developer Naughty Dog has exciting news for gamers: the studio is currently working on a new single-player game. Known for its award-winning titles, including The Last of Us Part 2, which was named the best game of 2020 at The Game Awards, Naughty Dog is one of Sony's most prominent studios. While the studio has released a full remake of The Last of Us on PS5 and PC, fans have been eagerly anticipating a completely new game from Naughty Dog for almost three years. Thankfully, the studio recently shared some new information about its upcoming titles currently in development.
Naughty Dog recently took to Twitter to share some exciting news with fans. The studio confirmed that it is currently working on a brand new single-player experience, which suggests that a new IP is in the works. While details are scarce at the moment, Naughty Dog has promised to share more information soon. In the meantime, the studio expressed its appreciation for fans' enthusiasm, noting that it continues to fuel the development process. While the focus of the tweet is on the single-player game, Naughty Dog also mentioned that its developers are hard at work on a new multiplayer title set in The Last of Us universe. The studio acknowledged that this project will take some time and that it has been internally delayed, but reassured fans that it remains committed to delivering a high-quality experience.
There was a lot of anticipation for Naughty Dog's presence at Sony's PlayStation Showcase event in May 2023, where new IPs were revealed and Marvel's Spider-Man 2 was showcased with a full gameplay demo. However, the absence of Naughty Dog and any unveiling of The Last of Us multiplayer project left fans confused. Recent rumors suggest that Sony may have held back some titles for the event, with leaks indicating that more games are ready to be shown. It remains to be seen when and where these titles will be showcased, including the possibility of Naughty Dog's next games being unveiled at events other than Sony's own, such as The Game Awards.
