For months there have been reports about a new IP from Naughty Dog, one of the most important teams at PlayStation Studios. According to a recent leak, the project is real and will be confirmed sometime this year.
What's interesting is that the source compared the game to a popular installment of Mass Effect and a renowned manga by Junji Ito, celebrated horror mangaka.
Details of Naughty Dog's alleged new IP leaked
According to an anonymous source, one of Naughty Dog's upcoming projects is a new IP. It would be a third-person shooter and would play similarly to Mass Effect 2. The source explained that by this he means the ability to make choices, the companion system and other mechanics.
He also stated that the project will be announced sometime this year for PlayStation 5 only. He added that he has no information about a possible PC version.
His report doesn't end there, as the source also leaked supposed information about the franchise's story. He stated that it will tell how humanity is worried and horrified after discovering a solar system with a giant eye.
The source recommended fans to think about Hellstar Remina, a manga by Junji Ito, to get a better idea of what the plot will offer. Having said all this, it is very important to highlight that the information was shared on various forums, including 4Chan. So, it is best to take it as a simple rumor.
The same insider shared details about The Last of Us: Part III and The Last of Us: Part II Remastered. While neither project has been officially confirmed, at least there are hints suggesting that the remastering of the second game is real.
On the other hand, past reports claim that the PlayStation studio is indeed working on a new IP, but that it would have a medieval fantasy setting. So, for now there is no way to confirm what the company is actually working on.
