Naughty Dog co-president Evan Wells has announced his retirement from the company.
Wells joined Naughty Dog way back in 1998 during development on Crash Bandicoot: Warped, known in Europe as Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped. He became co-president of the studio after the departure of founders Jason Rubin and Andy Gavin in 2004, and would serve in that capacity for the most of his tenure, with a brief stint as sole president following the departure of Christophe Balestra, eventually being joined by The Last of Us and Uncharted 4 director Neil Druckmann in 2020. Wells also served as executive producer for the 2022 Uncharted movie and HBO's hit The Last of Us TV adaptation.
