It’s additionally potential that Naughty Canine will make extra of an effort to “maintain your hand” much less. These collectively simply don’t match the studio’s pipeline for TLoU content material, and so it could make sense {that a} new IP might be in improvement to discover and dip its toes into the water, and who higher to guide the cost than the person who roughly managed to create a franchise empire?
