Naughty Dog Wants To Fix Its Old Mistakes

According to reports, the plot of The Last of Us Part 3 series will revolve around a band of resourceful scavengers who navigate the perils of a post-apocalyptic city. These survivors find solace and shelter within the confines of a cramped Victorian House, which serves as their central base of operations. As they navigate the city’s desolate outskirts, they must confront the challenges of a world ravaged by catastrophe, constantly adapting and strategizing to stay alive.

Besides, Naughty Dog is currently casting a wide array of roles for a diverse group of compelling characters. Committing to inclusivity and representation, the studio aims to bring a rich tapestry of individuals from different backgrounds, cultures, and experiences to life. This casting call reflects Naughty Dog’s dedication to creating a vibrant and authentic world within the game series, where players can connect with characters that resonate on a deeper level. 

The studio has faced criticism for featuring exclusively white protagonists in both games. In the first installment, released in 2013, players assume the role of Joel Miller, a middle-aged white man, as he embarks on a treacherous journey across the pandemic-ravaged United States, accompanied by a young girl named Ellie. Similarly, the sequel, launched in 2020, continues the story by focusing on Ellie’s quest for vengeance against those responsible for her friend’s death. These choices in representation have sparked discussions about the lack of diversity in the lead roles and the need for more inclusive storytelling in the gaming industry.
