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.
