Neil Druckmann recently addressed media backlash regarding a quote from an interview with Sony. The quote suggested he claimed his next project would “redefine the mainstream perceptions of gaming,” which sparked controversy online, with many accusing Druckmann of arrogance.

Setting the Record Straight

Druckmann took to Twitter to clarify the situation, sharing a transcript of the interview. He explained that he was misquoted due to edits made to his lengthy, rambling responses. While he expressed excitement about Naughty Dog’s upcoming project, he did not claim it would redefine gaming.

The Actual Statement

According to Druckmann, his actual words focused on his enthusiasm for the new game, describing it as a “fresh” direction for Naughty Dog and the project he’s “most excited” about. He emphasized the potential impact on gamers and non-gamers alike, stating:

“I think it just kind of opens the eyes of a bunch of people that just weren’t aware of the kind of experience that exist in games … People even outside of gaming are looking at us to see what it is that we put out next.”

What’s Next for Naughty Dog?

Details about Naughty Dog’s new project remain under wraps, though it’s clear the studio is aiming to deliver another impactful experience. Recently, the team canceled a planned multiplayer project set in The Last of Us universe, redirecting their focus on this new endeavor.
