Granted, we don’t even know when the primary sport shall be launched, but it surely does make you marvel if the studio is planning extra titles to develop on it additional. Selection delved into this additional with director Neil Druckmann and requested whether or not there’s an opportunity for The Final of Us Half 3 or a brand new Uncharted as an alternative.
“We don’t are inclined to plan an excessive amount of sooner or later, as a result of we discover — and that is one thing I inherited, it’s simply the Naughty Canine tradition — that we do our greatest work when it’s one thing we’re actually enthusiastic about, actually obsessed with,” stated Druckmann.
Following the success of The Final of Us Half 2, he remembers the crew debating about “whether or not we must always simply go straight into ‘The Final of Us 3,’ and we had a very lengthy interval the place we checked out concepts for perhaps what could possibly be in that sport. We checked out — we have now ‘Uncharted‘ as an IP, we have now ‘Jak and Daxter‘ as an IP. However the crew was actually excited to do that sci-fi factor that we’ve been speaking about for some time, and that’s the place our passions lie, in order that’s the place we’re shifting ahead.”
If Intergalactic is a hit, then Druckmann is certain that gamers will “see it once more,” however that doesn’t imply it will likely be Naughty Canine’s subsequent sport. “Whether or not that shall be our subsequent sport proper after that, I can’t say, and I go away that door open. To not be coy for this explicit query, we need to see how we really feel as soon as we’re carried out with it and take a look at the choices in entrance of us, as a result of we have now another concepts that we’d wish to discover as properly.”
