It's a fact that Naughty Dog is working on unannounced projects. One of them involves its president and the creator of The Last of Us, Neil Druckmann, who publicly talked about his next project.
The creative and executive had already dropped hints about his new project at Naughty Dog, of which we only know that it hasn't been announced yet.
In an interview about the HBO series with Entertainment Weekly, the opportunity to question the creative about the third installment of the acclaimed franchise couldn't be missed. But as expected, Druckmann didn't spill the beans; instead, he simply smiled and explained that he can't say anything about it, not because he doesn't want to, but because he's not allowed to.
"As for the next game at Naughty Dog, I can't say anything," Druckmann warned. "My head of communications over there would kill me."
Why Hasn't Naughty Dog Revealed Its New Project?
While Neil Druckmann said the above in a joking manner, it's true that Naughty Dog doesn't want to reveal anything about its project just yet. In fact, Druckmann himself mentioned that the studio hasn't revealed its new game for a good reason: a healthy workload and the well-being of its employees.
As for what was going through Druckmann's mind at that moment... we can only speculate. The creative may have flashed that smile because everyone already imagines that he's involved in the new The Last of Us game, but it could just as well be due to the surprise he knows would come with the announcement of a possible new IP that's very different from what the studio has released, like a fantasy one.
