Naughty Dog, Neil Druckmann confirms production on new game has begun
Listen to article Renowned game director and Naughty Dog co-president Neil Druckmann has confirmed that the studio is developing an unannounced new IP, sparking a wave of speculation across the gaming world. Known for The Last of Us and Uncharted, Druckmann now finds himself steering multiple projects, including the upcoming Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet and HBO's The Last of Us adaptation. In a recent interview with Steffan Powell on the Press X to Continue podcast, Druckmann revealed that, while his primary focus remains Intergalactic, he is also overseeing another, as-yet-unannounced game as an executive producer. Though he offered no concrete details, his comments confirm the existence of a second AAA title in development at Naughty Dog. 'It's more of a producer role this time,' said Druckmann, noting he's working with other directors on both projects. 'I'm in the room, helping shape things, but not necessarily leading from the front.' This marks a shift in approach for Druckmann, who previously emphasised his preference to focus on one project at a time. Back in February, he explained that game development is 'all-consuming,' which made it difficult to juggle multiple titles. Yet the demands of Intergalactic, combined with Naughty Dog's evolving slate, appear to have pushed him into new territory. Industry insiders have linked the unannounced project to a potential Uncharted spin-off. According to reports from well-known leaker Daniel Richtman, the game is being directed by Uncharted: The Lost Legacy's Shaun Escayg and has been in development for more than three years. If true, the timeline aligns with Naughty Dog's previous approach — the studio announced Intergalactic after four years of behind-the-scenes work. Fans are now speculating that the studio may be preparing a major reveal at an upcoming gaming event, potentially mirroring Intergalactic's unveiling at The Game Awards 2024. Druckmann's increasing openness about the mystery title has only added fuel to the fire. Adding to his packed schedule, Druckmann is also deeply involved in The Last of Us's live-action adaptation on HBO and has reportedly been mentoring the lead actress of Intergalactic on handling online criticism. While nothing is confirmed, the signs suggest Naughty Dog is gearing up for another high-profile announcement. Until then, fans can only wait — and speculate — about what's next for one of gaming's most acclaimed studios.

Did You Notice THIS Daredevil: Born Again Star's Cameo in The Last of Us Season 2 Episode 6? Here's How He Was Cast
Warning: This article contains major spoilers for The Last of Us, season 2, episode 6. Marvel fans might have noticed a major actor's presence in season 2, episode 6 of The Last of Us. Tony Dalton, who Marvel Cinematic Universe fans might know as The Swordsman, made his way into the outing of the post-apocalyptic series. In case you might know, the actor was seen in a flashback sequence of The Last of Us. Talking about the actors' casting, showrunner Neil Druckmann stated to Entertainment Weekly that Tony Dalton was his first choice to play the character of Javier Miller. "I just loved his performance so much in Better Call Saul. I jokingly refer to him as the most charming, threatening man I've ever seen on television," he added of the cast. Not only that, but after Dalton portrayed the character flawlessly, Druckman also cast him in Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, which happens to be the next original video game from the developers at Naughty Dog. Interestingly, Neil Druckmann serves this project as its president and head of creative. Coming to The Last of Us, Tony Dalton was seen in a flashback from the year 1983. His character, Javier Miller, was of a local police officer who is also a violent father of Pedro Pascal 's Joel and Gabriel Luna's Tommy. A young Joel is seen to be sitting at a table when his father comes home, expecting a beating. Meanwhile, Tommy is shown to try to buy drugs but comes across an incident with the dealer. Soon, Joel intervenes in the event, also beating the drug dealer while getting in trouble with the cops. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Dalton was seen playing the mutant for the first time in Hawkeye and recently in the Charlie Cox-starring revival of the Hornhead series, Daredevil: Born Again.

Intergalactic Star Tati Gabrielle has been ‘Coached' about Online Gamer Backlash
Tati Gabrielle may have played Nora in the latest episode of The Last of Us , but online gamer fans know that she's going to be starring in Neil Druckmann's next game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet . With The Last of Us Part II getting so much backlash online and actresses like Laura Bailey (Abby) getting harassed on social media, Gabrielle confirms that she has been 'coached' by Druckmann about what to expect, starring as a POC lead in a AAA video game. She tells Entertainment Weekly: 'Neil's been bootcamp-ing me… I know Troy's experience, I know Ashley's experience…I know Laura Bailey's experience. 'I got a lot of love, but there was a lot of hate over me being a woman, me being a woman of color, me having my head shaved, all these things that I didn't even actually initially see — I'm out of the social media zeitgeist for that reason — but once I did, Neil was like, 'Ignore it. No matter what, me and you, we're going to make something beautiful. We're going to make something that we're proud of.'' We don't know exactly what Gabrielle's character Jordan is going to be like in Intergalactic yet, but we know that anyone who isn't a straight, white, male protagonist is sure to draw online grifters like a moth to a flame. You bet they're going to be sicking thousands of 'anti-woke' people at anyone who makes games that 'isn't for them.' If anything, it does look like Druckmann has learned from the experience of TLOU Part II and is ready to protect Gabrielle from any backlash she may receive. Let's just hope that Naughty Dog—heck the entire PlayStation and Sony team—have more systems in place to fight off any possible toxic backlash. No release date has been set for Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet , but fans are expecting it to come to PS5 in the next few years.
