Neil Druckmann has been a phenomenal writer in the industry and has taken ‘The Last of Us’ to unmatchable heights. The fact that it is getting an HBO Series screams the popularity that it has amongst the fans.
In 2020, Druckmann was awarded ‘The Game Award for Best Narrative’ for his work in The Last of Us Part II. Moreover, the executive producer Craig Mazin has given a concrete opinion by calling the series “the greatest story ever in video games.”
While the series continues to do its magic, let’s see what Druckmann has stated about his next project.
The Last of Us writer Neil Druckmann hints at a new project leaving fans puzzled
As reported by the media outlet The New Yorker, Druckmann’s next project will be a game that would be “structured more like a TV show” which Naughty Dog would be making for the very first time. And to conquer this feat, he also took the surprising step of organizing a writers’ room for the very first time as before he has been seen writing alone or with a single partner.

With a suspenseful delivery of the upcoming project, one can surely absorb the fact that the video game wouldn’t be less than a spectacle. Moreover, the Twitter account Hunter (@NextGenPlayer) also became the bearer of the news, leaving the Twitter community excited yet some displayed their worries about the move.

Oho means ND is no longer a game development studio, but a studio that creates interactive films.
What a disappointment

I think he should go to Hollywood and make TV shows and movies. He has outgrown Naughty Dog.

I just wish for naughty dog to do "fantasy". sci-fi, powers, anything "out of the ordinary" but still in a realistic settings/aesthetics. they "primed" the third person "basics". wanna see they do more! get out of the confort zone.

TLOU2 showed he has good ideas but also problems when it comes to execution. Hopefully the writers teams help to avoid what happened with TLOU2 story

Going by the popularity of Druckmann, one can be assured that it would be a story that no one has ever seen or thought of. However, the performance and popularity of the new video game will depend on the public’s reaction which can only be gauged with time.
