After several leaks and rumors, Naughty Dog finally confirmed that The Last of Us Part 2 is getting a PlayStation 5 remaster. The $10 upgrade for existing owners brings a boatload of new features to the sequel, although the verdict is still out on whether or not the graphical jump will be noticeable. And, while fans continue to debate the necessity of a remaster, a subsequent report claims that work on Naughty Dog's new single-player game is being spearheaded by Neil Druckmann and his team.
Naughty Dog confirmed earlier this year that it's working on a new single-player game. At the time, it couldn't reveal if Neil Druckmann was working on it or if someone else was spearheading the project.
Now, VGC's Jordan Middler claims that a team of fresh hires is working on the remaster because "Druckmann's team is full steam ahead on an original." Middler adds that the projects don't take away from each other, although there's genuine reason for concern following the studio's most recent set of layoffs.
