The piece’s last line explains Druckmann’s transition from writing The Last of Us on his own to surprising his Naughty Dog colleagues by bringing on screenwriter Halley Gross to co-write The Last of Us Part 2. Gross previously wrote two episodes of HBO’s now-cancelled Westworld. Inspired by television writers’ rooms, Druckmann gathered a whole writers’ room for his upcoming game instead of just a single co-writer to flesh out the plot.
I’m sure no one will misconstrue what this means! ?
(Spoiler: it’s about making our games in an even more collaborative manner! Stoked to show you our projects as soon as we can!) https://t.co/Vb5HzuMCXr pic.twitter.com/FdtFgthVtv
