Naughty Canine has two initiatives it’s engaged on and whereas one in all them is understood — that being The Final of Us multiplayer — the opposite isn’t. Some followers count on one other entry to The Final of Us whereas others assume it’s a brand new IP.
In an interview Comicbook, studio boss Neil Druckmann revealed precisely why it’s the studio hasn’t revealed particulars about this mysterious undertaking. In earlier years, the studio had revealed video games effectively prematurely, like Uncharted 4 and The Final of Us Half II which helped generate hype and traction, but additionally harm the work-life stability internally and that’s simply not one thing Druckmann needs to do once more.
Not revealing the sport places much less stress on the Naughty Canine staff, and lets them mess around with the schedule. Primarily based on that remark, it’s possible that this different undertaking’s taken a severe backseat to The Final of Us multiplayer, which means even after the multiplayer’s launch we’re unlikely to see a reveal any time quickly.
This might change since Naughty Canine is a PlayStation Studios studio, which means Sony calls the photographs, however it’s unlikely that they are going to step in and drive Druckmann to disclose this new recreation.
Druckmann’s full response
“You’re proper, we did announce Uncharted 4 and The Final of Us Half II method prematurely, however that really precipitated slightly little bit of the work-life stability points that we’ve generally had on the studio. By delaying that announcement a bit, we may play with the schedule extra and we’re extra acutely aware now about how we’re approaching manufacturing. So there’s our [The Last of Us] multiplayer undertaking and there’s one other undertaking that I cannot say something about that’s past that that we’re additionally very a lot excited for.”
