Naughty Dog Teases UNCHARTED; The Last of Us 2 for PlayStation 4

After a "Thank You" Event for fans of Naughty Dog's colorful resume where the community voted on the Top 10 Questions asked by fans all around the world on Facebook, the developer of such break-out hits for Sony Computer Entertainment like Uncharted, The Last of Us, Jak & Daxter, and Crash Bandicoot answered the fans questions and even dropped some hints for the future of 2013's critically acclaimed PlayStation 3 exclusive, The Last of Us as well as UNCHARTED which was announced on the PlayStation 4's launch-day, November 15.

After the success of TLoU, has there been any talk of making a sequel as we move into the next console generation? What factors would contribute to whether that happens or not?

“The success of The Last of Us was definitely welcome and we’re very grateful for it. However, as far as future projects go, everything is still TBD. The Last of Us team is hard at work on The Last of Us: Left Behind, which is our first ever single player DLC, right now. As for what happens after the next TLOU DLC drops, we recently teased UNCHARTED for the PS4 and have multiplayer TLOU DLC coming. We’re working on revamping our Naughty Dog engine to be running smoothly on the PS4. Future projects will take shape once that’s ready to go.”

And on the subject of UNCHARTED, the follow-up to 2011's Drakes Deception: 

Can you give us any indication of when we will be getting some more details on the upcoming Uncharted game you guys are working on for the PS4? Or are there any little morsels of information you could give us here? Please don’t just say ‘Soon(tm)’!

“It’s got a guy with a really cool voice in it. He’s in the teaser. A lot of people missed it but that’s Todd Stashwick ( http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0823693/ ). Go follow him (https://twitter.com/ToddStashwick ). Also, read the map. “

The Sixth Axis has a really well-though analysis of the map we see in the trailer, possibly alluding to a prequel set a long, long, time ago.

Also for fans of The Last of Us, Naughty Dog might have dropped a hint to some potential future story-DLC, or maybe even a prequel game:

What is Joel and Tommy’s background story like before the outbreak and during the 20 years leading up to the events in The Last Of Us? Why didn’t you put more dialogue about it in the game?

“There’s not more dialogue about it in the game because it’s something we haven’t fully fleshed out yet. You can gather bits and pieces of their personal history, such as what Joel does for a living, by listening to the dialogue closely. Maybe someday we’ll fill in those back stories a little bit more.”
