This was something Schreier himself talked about in a podcast a little while ago, I believe.Īlso 'not even 10 years old' is a pretty dishonest way of putting it. This actually gives the crew something to do while they hash out a roadmap for the next game. Whereas a remake - especially one that can reuse all the assets already generated during the production of TLOU2 - can essentially skip all that. Any new game Naughty Dog could be working on will still be in pre-production as we speak. Moreover, I think anybody who thinks it's somehow an inappropriate use of resources to focus on a remake instead of a full-ass new game has a misguided understanding of how dev cycles generally work.

It was a Schreier leak, and his hit rate is pretty unmatched. Well, the remake is happening either way.
