According to a recent job posting, the creators of the popular The Last of Us series might be working on a new post-apocalyptic triple-A title. Either that or the studio is looking for new talent to expand on its previously confirmed standalone The Last of Us multiplayer title.
Naughty Dog recently posted several jobs for various designations, including character artists. The job responsibilities state that the artist should be able to either create brand new in-game items or use existing Naughty Dog assets to incorporate into its upcoming project. Of course, with changes to the existing assets.
The in-game items mentioned include outfits, realistic animals, detailed texturing for clothes, realistic skin textures, setting up shaders, and creating backstories through damage and dirt on the clothing items.
The last bit about creating stories and resonating with the players sounds very much like The Last of Us game set in a world after a major disaster. In other words, a post-apocalyptic setting.
