Toasting to the New Year, Shaun Escayg, the creative director on
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, announced he is leaving Naughty Dog after seven years with the studio.
Escayg didn't flat out announce where he was heading, but in a post on Instagram, he strongly alluded to where his next adventure will take place. Escayg simply posted the
Avengers logo, suggesting he will be working on Square Enix's
The Avengers Project, which is currently being developed by Crystal Dynamics.
Shortly after teasing his upcoming project, Escayg posted a heartfelt farewell message on
Twitter:
"Seven years ago I joined the talented team at Naughty Dog on a project still in its infancy, The Last Of Us. Well, the rest is history. Left Behind, Uncharted 4 were fleeting and Uncharted The Lost Legacy pushed my creative growth even further- I will miss all my dogs."
If Escayg is indeed joining Crystal Dynamics, his experience at Naughty Dog - a studio known for strong narrative in video games - suggests
The Avengers Project is shaping up to be more of a story-driven video game.
