In a recent GQ article, Naughty Dog president Neil Druckmann confirmed that the developer’s next title will include Troy Baker in a voice role, with Druckmann as the lead director. “In a heartbeat I would always work with Troy,” said Druckmann. This may mean that the next title may be another Last of Us title, which has been heavily rumored to be planned. However, additional details about the title have yet to be announced. It’s worth noting that Troy Baker has been in several Naughty Dog titles including as Joel Miller in the two The Last of Us games and as Sam Drake in two Uncharted titles.
