"Player Freedom" Will Reportedly Be A Big Part Of Naughty Dog's Next Game

, MinnMax founder Ben Hanson recently spoke about Naughty Dog's structure . After bringing up Naughty Dog in a conversation about gaming developers, Hanson shared a "juicy tidbit" about its nexꦍt project, which he heard from someone who worked on the mysterious game.

According to Hanson's source, Naughty Dog's next project wilꦅl have a "lot of player freedom" as it was compared to a game that's known for that. Hanson didn't say which title was the comparison point so as to not set expectations, but the ones that jump to mind straight away are Breath of the Wild and Elden Ring.

I heard from someone very in the know who worked on the game that they're like 'jesus christ'. The tone was like 'you are all not ready for how amazing this thing is going to be. The tone was - I'm not going to say the name of the game they comꦉpared it to - but they compared it to a game with a lot of player freedom. - Ben Hanson

Beyond suggesting that we're all not ready for how amazing ND's next game is going to be, Hanson didn't reveal too much else about it. Still, what was said is enough to know that it'll be a big departure from Naughty Dog's more linear story-based games. We did see glimpses of that freedom in Uncharted 4 and The Las๊t of Us Part 2's bigger levels, but it sounds like it'll be on another level.
