Rumors are circulating about Naughty Dog's new sci-fi game, suggesting a design philosophy similar to that of Elden Ring, emphasizing player freedom and exploration.

MinnMax host Ben Hanson recently shared insights gleaned from sources close to the project. "I've heard whispers that Naughty Dog's upcoming title takes a page from Elden Ring's book, offering players an unparalleled level of freedom as they unravel the secrets of a distant planet," Hanson revealed.

This aligns with previous statements by Naughty Dog co-president Neil Druckmann, who hinted that while the new game won't be as relentlessly tense as The Last of Us, it will evoke a profound sense of isolation.  The game's protagonist, Jordan, is stranded on the remote planet of Sempieria, a world shrouded in mist and shadows.  Players will experience Jordan's struggle for survival as she confronts the terrifying and lonely environment.
