Naughty Dog Studio hints at developments and improvements to the movement system in its next game, which we believe will be online, The Last of Us. At least that's what it seemed to us through an indirect dialogue between two developers who work at the studio.

It all started when one of the producers made the game's animator Maxim Zhuravlov When sharing information about the door opening system developed for The Last of Us Part 2, which he described as the best, they thought at the time that it would be used in their future games for a long time. But he commented at the end of the tweet in a sarcastic way, saying: “Looks like I was wrong!indicating that they are working on a new mechanism at the moment.

I remember when I finished the anime system for TLOU2 combat doors, I thought “Maybe too much. But now it’s all done. We have it and we’ll reuse it forever. Because what more could anyone want from this damn door? Right?”

Oh boy

Then he appeared Vineet Agarwalthe co-director of the new project, came to support Zhuravlov that they are indeed working on something new in terms of the door opening mechanism in their current project.

Obviously, the current project will be nothing more than the online game based on the world of The Last of Us, whose final name or any revision has not been revealed, except that it is in development and its development budget will not be lower than the budget of other major studio games.

Speaking of a new mechanic for opening doors, it seems that the development team wants to introduce new mechanics that are in line with the gameplay that is based on stealth and silent stealth.

While the door animations may seem like just a small detail, their inclusion in the highly anticipated online game opens up a number of new gameplay opportunities. These hints indicate that the game could lean heavily into stealth gameplay, similar to the Factions game we got in the first installment, where players will likely use doors to infiltrate other players.

Given the number of unique door animations that were present in The Last of Us 2, it seems like more of them will be added in Naughty Dog's next project.

We just have to wait and see what Naughty Dog studio can offer us in its next project, be it the next online game or the totally new project that it has confirmed. Neil Druckmann Co-president and studio director.
