Neil Druckmann is not just appointed as a director for Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, but he has also confirmed his involvement will be more in the capacity of a producer for an additional, yet undisclosed project.

Here’s part of what he had to say during a chat with the Press X to Continue podcast this week:

In March, there was a story that hinted Shaun Escayg, known for Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, might be overseeing another undisclosed game at Naughty Dog. Additionally, Anthony Newman, who worked on The Last of Us: Part II, could also be involved in the studio’s upcoming, yet unnamed projects.
