As for the future, Baker will star in 2025 Judasthe next match of BioShock creator Ken Levine, but the actor was also able to confirm that he will reunite The last of us director and Naughty Dog co-president Neil Druckmann and appear in the studio’s next game.

Last month, new insider information about the secret project was reported by MinnMax founder Ben Hanson, who claimed that a source “very informed, who has worked on the game” shared that fans are “not ready” for the studio’s next project and that it will feature “a lot of player freedom.”
Neil Druckmann also confirmed earlier this year that there are “multiple single-player” projects in development at Naughty Dog, saying: “I promise you we won’t do that.” The last of us studio forever”.
In December 2023, Naughty Dog canceled the show The last of us online game after concerns that it would impact the studio’s future single-player games, a project that was reportedly four years in development.
