Neil Druckmann, the creator of The Last of Us video game series, is stepping away from the HBO adaptation to focus on his next game with Naughty Dog, titled Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.
Druckmann was instrumental in the success of The Last of Us on HBO, having been involved in the series and contributing to one of the highly acclaimed episodes of Season 2.
While Season 3 of The Last of Us series is in development, Druckmann's departure to concentrate on game development has raised concerns among fans, but Naughty Dog assures that the show is in good hands.
The decision to prioritize game development over the TV series hints at Druckmann's commitment to his work at Naughty Dog, with the game Intergalactic already announced and expected to be released in the coming years.
