Naughty Dog's next game will feature Joel actor Troy Baker, and suddenly I'm no longer convinced it'll be The Last of Us 3

Troy Baker is officially set to return for next season Naughty Dog The game is headed by Neil Druckmann – and it’s starting to look certain it will be habit Become The Last of Us Episode 3.

As part of a longer study of Baker’s career, we examine his upcoming projects, including a notable role in BioShock successor Judas. GQ He reported that “Druckmann will be returning for his new project at Naughty Dog.” “I would work with Troy in no time,” the magazine quotes Druckmann as saying.

Baker is a prolific voice and motion capture actor and has made multiple appearances in Naughty Dog’s Uncharted series as Nathan Drake’s brother Sam. But his most notable role is probably Joel Miller in The Last of Us. spoiler alert This part should come into play for those who have managed to avoid Episode 2 spoilers in the last few years. Suffice to say, Joel is in no mood to return for a third entry in the series.

Naughty Dog has yet to confirm what its next project will be, but Druckmann stated that they “won’t be The Last of Us studio forever” – while also making fun of it There’s “probably one more chapter” in The Last of Us’ story. Still, the only way Joel can come back is via flashback, time travel, or a mustache-twirling evil twin. Only one of these is likely, but Joel’s casting isn’t the kind of thing that would be casually announced on a casting profile like this.

No, I’d venture to guess that Baker will likely appear in another Naughty Dog project as a completely different character. Another Uncharted game featuring Sam Drake is definitely on the table, and perhaps more interestingly, it’s an entirely new series featuring entirely new characters. Or maybe Naughty Dog will return to its platformer roots and enlist Baker in the uber-big-budget Jak and Daxter reboot.

It has been reported that the cancellation of The Last of Us Online left some Sony developers in a difficult situation: “As a result, there was some confusion.”
