Uncharted PS4 may be the primary focus of Naughty Dog’s attention right now, but the firm is keeping itself busy with various other projects at the same time. We already know about The Last of Us Remastered, of course, but speaking with Game Informer magazine, company co-president Evan Wells has confirmed that it has a second blockbuster currently in the works.
“We definitely have another project on the scale of Uncharted in very early pre-production stages,” the executive teased. “We have the sizeable team that it takes to get something like that off of the ground, but it's got a long runway in front of it. We have a lot of great ideas, and some stuff that is already getting everybody jazzed and excited.”
Sadly, the studio chief’s keeping the super secret release’s specifics under wraps for now. “It's a long way off before we can really start talking about it in detail,” he continued. “But no, [Bruce Straley and Neil Druckmann working on Uncharted] is not going to impact our ability to keep stirring that [original projects] pot.”
While the Californian company has been described as a two team studio for some time now, Wells dispelled some of those rumours, explaining that employees simply get moved around depending on the requirements of the firm. “Two teams is probably not the best description, but two franchises is a good way to put it,” he clarified.
So, what would you like the developer to work on next? Are you eager for it to continue its post-apocalyptic tale with a sequel to The Last of Us, or would you prefer it plotted a new entry in the Jak & Daxter property? Maybe you’d like the outfit to do something brand new? Bark your thoughts in the comments section below.

I think something new would be best!
Yep, a new game series would be awesome...
New IP
I would love any of those options I would be happy for a new ip another jak and Daxter or a sequel to the last of us. At this point naughty dog can't do much wrong in my book
in DOG we trust!
I'm with everyone else here, I think it should be a new IP.
Yep new would be nice please you naughty dogs!
My first though was that it's probably Last of Us 2 considering the success of the 1st game (both critically and commercially), but with the news that Neil and Bruce are doing Uncharted 4, I assume it could be a new IP.
Who wants a new IP vs a Last of Us sequel? Personally I'd go for a new IP. The Last of Us was my favourite game of last gen, but that story was so great on it's own, I feel it really doesn't need one.
New IP or Last of Us 2 or new Jak and Daxter i welcome any of them
Jak and Daxter but what i saw with their original images. Im not so sure
I would like a new IP, and preferably not a realistic looking one. ND started with cartoony games, it would be nice to see them going back to that style again.
...Uncharted 5?
I would be ecstatic if it was a Jak 4
Way Of the Warrior 2. Correct me if I'm wrong but Sony don't actually have their own proper fighting series, do they (Battle Royale doesn't count)? Killer Insitinct - God knows how - seems to be rather popular over on the green side of gaming so a beat 'em up could be good counterbalance. Would also let them focus on their love of making pretty games. Have to admit I'd be intrigued to see them step out of their comfort zone which they've been in for far too long.
Guess it would be dumb for me to hope whatever it is will come to Vita..
yes, yes we all want and expect great new IP's from ND but i'm sorry right now they have 3 active franchises and i will be very disappointed if they don't go back to jak next
@viciousarcanum Active? Jak 3 is a few months away from being ten years old. About as active as my dead Grandad.
I'd love a new IP since I think that's when ND does its best work. That said, TLoU is a new IP and I'd also love another game in that universe.
