Naughty Dog, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sony Interactive Entertainment, is a video game developer headquartered in Santa Monica, CA. Founded in 1984, the studio employs approximately 840 individuals. The company specializes in the development of computer games, and is currently developing The Last of Us Part II.
On September 14, 2026, PlayStation shut down a fan-made multiplayer mod for *The Last of Us*. This follows reports from August 19, 2026, that the canceled *The Last of Us Online* multiplayer game was not a "side project" and reportedly cost "hundreds of millions." A majority of the team that worked on the online game transitioned to Naughty Dog's current new intellectual property, *Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet*. Earlier on August 18, former Naughty Dog game designer Benson Russell, who worked on *Uncharted 1-3* and *The Last of Us*, stated that dynamic difficulty scaling was added to the first *Uncharted* to artificially lengthen the game after a complete rewrite of its engine for the PS3. Russell previously, on August 13, expressed his opposition to a remake of *Uncharted: Drake's Fortune*, suggesting that the studio should instead develop a new game.
