Described as the studio’s “wildest, most creative story yet,” the people behind it are working to ensure that this new IP “lives up to the Naughty Dog tradition of creating an emotional, character-driven epic journey.
“Our narrative goals are rivaled only by our gameplay ambitions. This will be the deepest gameplay in Naughty Dog’s history, taking our learnings from our previous franchises and pushing them beyond anything we’ve ever done before.”
Tati Gabrielle plays its determined protagonist while Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross are confirmed as working on the game’s score.

Jordan brandishes a one-handed laser sword before charging an imposing, three-armed robotic foe that wields a massive laser greatsword.
She also seems to carry a holstered pistol with her, suggesting that both ranged and melee combat could play a role in battle.
