Former Naughty Dog developer lists The Last of Us 2 on LinkedIn profile
Post-apocalyptic action survival game set for a sequel?
The Last of Us 2 is in development, according to the LinkedIn profile of former Naughty Dog lead character artist Michael Knowland.
Knowland, who worked at Naughty Dog from October 2011 to April 2014 (and is now at Just Cause 3 developer Avalanche Studios in New York), lists the following work for his time at the Uncharted studio:
- The Last of Us – all things main and NPC characters.
- Uncharted 4 – working on main character Nathan Drake to upgrade the face sculpt, hair (geometry/texturing/shading), facial hair, rigging topology, skin textures and arm/hand details.
- The Last of Us 2 – 1 month prototyping head sculpts.
Where The Last of Us 2 is listed, his profile used to list “Unannounced AAA Game.”
The LinkedIn profile of Frank Tzeng, the current lead character arist at Naughty Dog, mentions him working on both Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, as well as an “unannounced AAA game title.” He’s been working on both of these titles since April, when Knowland left.
