About future plans Naughty dog in an interview with the editor GameInformer the leaders of the team told Evan Wells and Neil Druckmann

“Definitely [продолжим создавать одиночные игры]… The emphasis on narrative elements is literally part of our genetic code. Nothing should change in the future. Singles are dear things to our hearts. It was for them that people fell in love with Naughty Dog, they inspired the audience, and we plan to do them for as long as possible, “explained Evan Wells.

After the creation of multiplayer modes for The Last of Us and Uncharted, the studio will also continue to experiment in this plane, but its plans do not include a race for new industry trends. She herself wants to expand the boundaries of the game medium.

According to Neil Druckmann, Sony’s leadership team is not putting pressure on Naughty Dog. The studio is actually on its own.

“I also repeat that from Sony’s position there are no moments when we are told about some new trends and asked to follow them immediately. The management is well aware that if the developers themselves enjoy their work, if they really burn the results are consistent, “admitted Neil Druckmann.

As a reminder, in the interview with GameInformer, Wells and Druckmann also spoke about the likelihood of Naughty Dog’s return to making “cartoon games”
