## Key points

- Escayg’s project is reportedly not related to The Last of Us.
- A new Uncharted is possible, but unconfirmed.
- Naughty Dog has two other The Last of Us projects in development.

## Summary

Industry leaker NateTheHate2 says Naughty Dog creative director Shaun Escayg is not working on a project related to The Last of Us. That leaves open the possibility that he is leading a new Uncharted game, though the article stresses that this is speculation based on limited clues.

Escayg directed Uncharted: The Lost Legacy and returned to Naughty Dog after working on Marvel’s Avengers at Square Enix. Earlier this year, he posted a photo of a location in Trinidad and Tobago captioned “research”, which fans saw as suggestive of Uncharted. Naughty Dog has confirmed two The Last of Us projects alongside Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, due for a full reveal in 2027; NateTheHate2 says he has heard only minor details about Escayg’s project and is not ready to share them.
