Neil Druckmann is departing from his creative position in the HBO series The Last of Us ahead of its third season. The show has seen varied responses and ratings, particularly following the conclusion of its second season. Druckmann co-created the show and expressed his gratitude for the experience. His departure allows him to focus on projects at Naughty Dog, including a new game titled Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. Despite stepping down, he will retain credits as Executive Producer and co-creator.
"I've made the difficult decision to step away from my creative involvement in The Last of Us on HBO. With work completed on season 2 and before any meaningful work starts on season 3, now is the right time for me to transition my complete focus to Naughty Dog and its future projects, including writing and directing our exciting next game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, along with my responsibilities as Studio Head and Head of Creative."
"Co-creating the show has been a career highlight. It's been an honor to work alongside Craig Mazin to executive produce, direct and write on the last two seasons."
