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 April 28, 2026, Vinit Agarwal, the former game director for the canceled "The Last of Us Online" multiplayer project, spoke out about its termination, revealing the game was 80% complete after seven years of development. Agarwal vowed on April 27 that he would ensure future projects under his direction would "not see the light of day again," noting that many former Naughty Dog team members continue to praise the unrealized game. Previously, on April 21, a former Naughty Dog developer disclosed that early versions of "Uncharted 4," which has since sold nearly 20 million copies, faced internal criticism and were almost canceled a decade prior. Earlier, on April 20, the studio's co-founder Jason Rubin was announced as a headliner for The Game Business Live event in June, which is part of Summer Game Fest. This follows comments on April 19 from Neil Druckmann, co-creator of "The Last of Us," who confirmed he has not closed the door on a potential third installment in the series, provided he develops a satisfying creative vision for it.
