Mysterious side project may still be in the works
In the two weeks since its hugely successful launch, many players have already crept, crawled, and head-caved their way through Naughty Dog’s gripping adventure titleThe Last of Us Part II. But while some may already be eager to continue their grim journey, it seems that any further misadventures will have to wait for another day.
Speaking onthe Kinda Funny podcast,creative director Neil Druckmann plainly stated that Naughty Dog had “no plans” to produce any story-expanding DLC. This may come as a surprise toTLOUfans, given the hugely positive reception forLeft Behind, the DLC that launched for the original game back in 2014. Of course, epilogues are not mandatory, and ifTLOU IIfeels “complete” dramatically, then a developer shouldn’t press themselves to expand upon its narrative simply because the option is there.
Elsewhere on the podcast, Druckmann was pressed onTLOU2‘s previously announced “additional mode” – one that is said to have since grown so large in scale and scope that it was likely to become a standalone title. Druckmann teased that work was continuing on the project, but ultimately offered no further information on this mystery endeavour.
