Bruce Straley, a longtime Naughty Dog director who has worked exclusively on franchises like Uncharted and The Last of Us, has announced the creation of a new video game studio. In 2017, Straley announced that he would be officially transitioning from Naughty Dog rather than embarking on the studio’s next game, which was Our last part 2. And while he’s primarily worked as a consultant in recent years for several projects, today Straley revealed that he’s fully jumping back into the game development field.
Revealed on social media, Straley released a video announcing the creation of a new studio called Wildflower Interactive. Straly explained that in recent years, he’s been working on a prototype for a new game that excites him greatly. As the project started to grow, he realized he would need to bring in a number of other developers to help the game see the light of day. Now, with the support of an unnamed publisher, Straley said Wildflower is looking to build a team working on this “small” title.

“I am very excited about the announcement and I am very excited about what we are building here,” Straley said in the video. “We’re doing something I’ve never played before and I hope you’ll tell us.”
Although there are few details about what Wildflower could be working on, the fact that Straley’s name is associated with the project makes it remarkable in and of itself. In short, Straley has directed some of the biggest games in PlayStation history which included Uncharted 2: Among ThievesAnd the Uncharted 4: A Thief’s EndAnd the the last of us. Seeing that he’s now back to lead a new project is pretty big, especially since this is something that looks like it might never happen again. While we may not be learning more about this game for a while, it’s worth keeping an eye on Wildflower Interactive in the future.
