Troy Baker Joins Naughty Dog Again for a Mysterious New Adventure

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades under my belt, I can’t help but feel a shiver of anticipation down my spine as I hear Troy Baker is teaming up with Naughty Dog once more. I’ve seen him breathe life into characters like Joel and Sam Drake, and if there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that Neil Druckmann wouldn’t waste a golden voice actor like Baker in an ordinary game.


Acclaimed voice actor Troy Baker, known for his characters Joel from ‘The Last of Us’ and Sam Drake in the ‘Uncharted’ series, is teaming up again with Naughty Dog. As revealed in a recent GQ feature, Baker will be part of studio head Neil Druckmann’s next venture. Druckmann shared his excitement, saying, “Given the chance, I would gladly work with Troy every time.

Though exact information concerning Baker’s function and the project itself is kept confidential, there’s confirmation that Naughty Dog is working on several individual games. Druckmann has underscored their dedication towards creating immersive stories and characters, with a strong emphasis on interpersonal connections.

Discussions concerning the characteristics of these ventures have been stimulated by numerous suggestions. For instance, the appearance of posters featuring fantastical elements within ‘The Last of Us Part 1’ has sparked rumors that a game based on fantasy could potentially be underway.

Back in early 2021, I stumbled upon some striking concept art by senior artist Hyoung Nam that showed a warrior triumphantly standing on a defeated dragon. Later on, he confirmed these were homages to ‘Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla’. Even so, they’ve managed to keep fans like me intrigued and eager for more!

Apart from his previous projects at Naughty Dog, Baker is slated to lend his voice to the character Indiana Jones in MachineGames’ upcoming title, ‘The Great Circle’. Initial feedback indicates that Baker’s performance embodies the spirit of a young Harrison Ford, thereby making the character feel more authentic.

Looking forward to learning more about Naughty Dog’s upcoming ventures, the reuniting of Baker and Druckmann suggests an exciting storytelling journey lies ahead.
