A new provocation by Naughty Dog got the PlayStation and PS5 players excited, and gave Unknown fans hope that 5 not mapped it may finally be on the horizon. Taking Twitter, Naughty Co-President and creator of The last of us, Neil Druckmann, joked that the team has “lots of cool things” that they “can’t wait to share”. Of course, there is no direct reference to Unknown or any other Naughty Dog IP, but the fact that the team has several projects underway gives Nathan Drake fans hope that the lovable treasure hunter can return.
We know that Naughty Dog is working on multiplayer for The Last of Us Part 2, but that’s the only thing we know is working. It could be working 5 not mapped? Yes. It could be working The Last of Us Part 3? Yes. It could be working on a new IP or even a revival of Jak and Daxter? Sure, but so far nothing like that has been suggested.
“If you tweet to me, asking about a future project, I can’t say anything … Please be patient,” said Druckmann. “We have a lot of cool things that we can’t wait to share with you. As soon as we can, we’ll do it!

Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like Druckmann and Naughty Dog will share any of these “lots of cool things” anytime soon. If I were a betting man, I would say that they are working on a new IP and something lighter, but that is the bet I would make in Vegas. At the moment, I haven’t heard a peep about what Naughty Dog is up to.
