While it was never really in doubt, Neil Druckmann has confirmed he’s writing and directing an unannounced PS5 game. Shuffles within Naughty Dog’s executive ranks recently saw The Last of Us creator promoted to co-studio head, but it looks like he’s going to retain a highly creative role within the company, as he turns his attention to the developer’s next project.

There’s strong speculation that this will be The Last of Us: Part 3, but there’s also been talk of new intellectual property being in the pipeline at the Californian company. Obviously, it’s been over three years since The Last of Us: Part II launched, and while the team’s remade the original game and a TV show in the interim, it sounds like its long-anticipated standalone multiplayer spin-off has gone back to the drawing board.

Exactly how long it’s going to take for Naughty Dog to put out something new is still very much up in the air, but with PS5 development cycles increasing, we reckon it’s probably going to take a while for this new title to emerge.
