8 Biggest PS5 & Xbox Rumours That MUST Come True

2. Naughty Dog's Medieval IP

Due to Naughty Dog's work on Crash Bandicoot, Uncharted, and The Last of Us, fans wait with bated breath anytime there is buzz surrounding the company's next project.

And ever since one of their concept artists, Hyoung Nam, released imagery of medieval warriors, gamers have suspected Naughty Dog is working on a brand-new IP, set during the Middle Ages.

Now, these rumours were seemingly debunked soon after, with Nam claiming he created this picture after he was inspired by Assassin's Creed Valhalla. Some people called bull, believing the company pre-emptively let the cat out of the bag.

Although claims like these sound like wishful thinking, there could be something to it. Co-president, Neil Druckmann has repeatedly tweeted details about hiring fresh talent for three new projects. All signs pointed to two of these projects being the already released Last of Us remake and upcoming Last of Us Factions (which may be in severe jeopardy).

And since no details have been offered about the third project, this rumour can't be dispelled just yet. Even if this medieval IP doesn't materialise, we know for a fact Naughty Dog is working on something that's very hush-hush.
