The graphic artist refutes speculation about the fantasy game by Naughty Dog -apkrig
When we briefed you on what’s happening at Sony Studios in Santa Monica and San Diego on Wednesday, we were hesitant to add speculation about a possible new project from Naughty Dog. Last July, advertisements confirmed that the authors Uncharted and The Last of Us were working on another single-player title for PS5, which fans combined a few days ago with the discovery of interesting drawings by Naughty Dog graphic artist Hyoung Nam on his personal profile on the network. Artstation.
They all shared a Nordic fantasy theme, so there was a lot of speculation about whether he had accidentally told Nam more than he could. Especially when the first image from the series called The Women of North appeared that the inspiration came from “a new game, and you probably guess which one”. From the beginning, however, it seemed unlikely that this would lead to an unwanted disclosure of details about the new game, especially when we talk about Naughty Dog, who still have to keep in mind the inconvenience of leaks associated with The Last of Us Part II. . And this reasoning was correct.
After the uproar, the author of the pictures himself came forward and denied all speculations in a statement to IGN. “The illustration is not from a new game by Naughty Dog. It was a drawing that I got inspired by while playing Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, “said Nam. In addition, it is important to add that he published the illustration last November, and it was then that Norse mythology was constantly analyzed in connection with Valhall, which logically supports the artist’s current expression. For the peace of all fans, he added to the labels that the “new game” is the latest part of the Assassin’s Creed series and he obviously considers the topic closed.
We recall an interview with Druckmann for GQ magazine, in which he talked about the third volume three days before the release of The Last of Us Part II.
We can add to it only two constantly recurring issues, which concern both the mentioned Sony studio in San Diego and the statement of the creative director of the Naughty Dog studio, Neil Druckmann. In the first case, there is a growing belief that after many people leave ND for the San Diego branch, this team can work on the continuation or spin-off of Uncharted. In the second, we recall an interview with Druckmann for GQ magazine, in which he talked about the third volume three days before The Last of Us Part II. As we begin to end development slowly [TLOU 2] and creatively I have fewer and fewer responsibilities, I can’t help but think about other things. And they can be [The Last of Us] Part III, as well as a brand new brand, “said Neil Druckmann last June, and we wouldn’t be surprised if, after a lot of controversy, he wanted to move the story of The Last of Us again.
