Neil Druckmann is set on television. In January 2023, the Naughty Dog co-president and creator of The Last of Us will see the release of the HBO adaptation of his post-apocalyptic claim to fame, which he also co-wrote. But looking past the series and focusing on the future of Naughty Dog, it seems Druckmann can’t quite shake the TV bug — and it has given him a new vision for the medium of video games as a whole. And it’s one that has surprising similarities to Disney’s approach to the Star Wars universe.
