Fans Think Naughty Dog’s Creative Director Is Teasing Uncharted 5
Key summary
Shaun Escayg’s six‑week‑old Instagram post — a cannon image captioned “Research…” — began circulating.
The post’s tie to Trinidad and Tobago recalls Uncharted 4’s Panama segments and sparked speculation.
Escayg directed Uncharted: The Lost Legacy and served as creative director on The Last of Us: Part I.
Uncharted 4 and The Lost Legacy released almost ten and close to nine years before the article, respectively.
Naughty Dog confirmed it’s working on at least one other game alongside Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet; a former employee said the studio had two single‑player projects when he left in 2024, Neil Druckmann noted the studio’s other work last year, and Druckmann has also teased The Last of Us Part 3 — the article says that is a small alternative explanation for the post.
