Naughty Dog Hiring for a “Third-Person Action” Game
Naughty Dog may have told gamers that they weren’t sure what they’d do now that the Uncharted trilogy has come to an end, but a recent job listing suggests that the renowned developer is already hard at work on their next game.
Posted today on LinkedIn, the new job listing for a Game Designer explains what the position will entail:
Responsible for designing and producing engaging and fun third-person action gameplay and levels
Candidates also need to have “experience playing 3rd person action games”.
Additionally, it’s clear the listing isn’t simply for Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception DLC, as the designer will be working on singleplayer levels, and Naughty Dog have specifically announced that there won’t be singleplayer DLC:
Responsible for the planning, levellayout, setup and tuning of single-player levels, from high concept to object placement and scripting
The fact that it specifies “third-person action” could mean a new Uncharted, a new IP, or even possibly a new Jak & Daxter. However, exactly 465 days ago, Naughty Dog had a job listing for a game with “fun third-person action gameplay”, and we all know how that turned out, so that does seem to suggest the game could be Uncharted 4.
As one, if not the, best third-person action developers, it’s great to hear that Naughty Dog won’t abandon the game, but it is a shame that there probably won’t be an Uncharted racing game.
What would you like to see from ND? And do you want their game to be on PS3 or PS4? Let us know in the comments below.

Oh man, this is great.
OFC it’s gonna be Uncharted 4 they making so much money off the Uncharted franchise to just stop making those games and the ending for U3 set the mood for a sequel
What’s to say it’s an Uncharted 4? For now it’s just a third person action game, sure there’s a huge possibility it’s Uncharted 4 in which case we won’t hear about this for about two years top which considering we have Uncharted 3 to past the time isn’t that bad
I would love another Uncharted but only if it comes on new system that way naughty dog can surprises us with big leap they made from u1 to u2 and make it again with u3 to u4
What do you actually expect from the PS4? How exactly is it going to make Uncharted better? And please don’t answer “better antialiasing”.
Because it’ll be a brand new system that we know nothing about. Hopefully like the change for PS2 to PS3 there’ll be a lot more Naughty Dog can do with the Uncharted franchise as for why it’ll be better nobody knows,
What you asking is esstintial asking us to tell you what innovations a new console will bring to the games industry with no idea what Sony is doing with the PS4, how soon it’ll be out, how much money it’ll cost to manufacture or any of the things it’ll incorporate.
Hopefully it’ll mean way more realistic gameplay (There’s a PC mod for GTA 4 that looks brilliant) for the 4th Uncharted game although I persernally don’t think we’ll see Uncharted 4 for ages.
WOW What a shock
, no reason for them to change what they do best, even if its not Uncharted 4, there best at 3rd person shooters.
It has always been a dream of mine to see them do a 3rd person 007 game using the same engine as uncharted ever since the first uncharted game came out, it’d be cool if one was done with Timothy Dalton’s bond…the plane scene on Uncharted 3 is a nod to The Living Daylights after all.
