New Naughty Dog Game Leak Debunked

Key Takeaways

  • A recent rumor about Naughty Dog‘s new IP has been quickly debunked.
  • The leak alleged that the title of Naughty Dog’s new IP is “Timeless Travel.”
  • Naughty Dog fans continue to await more details on the studio’s next game, but they may not have to wait much longer.

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades under my belt, I must admit that I’ve grown accustomed to the ebb and flow of gaming rumors. However, the recent “Timeless Travel” debacle has left me more amused than anything else. The rapid discrediting of this so-called leak serves as a stark reminder that the world of gaming is often filled with more speculation than solid facts.


A rumor about Naughty Dog’s upcoming game, which had generated much excitement, was quickly debunked within a few hours. The rumor supposedly unveiled the title of a new intellectual property that Naughty Dog has been developing for a considerable period.

The exceptional work by Naughty Dog on the Uncharted and The Last of Us series has earned them high esteem under the PlayStation brand. While fans have long anticipated a fresh challenge for this talented team, it appears that Naughty Dog in California shares this excitement. Following the release of The Last of Us Part 2 in 2020, whispers about Naughty Dog creating a new intellectual property (IP) have been rife. Eventually, the studio officially confirmed their development of a “new single-player game” back in May 2024.

Speculation about the secret new project from Naughty Dog frequently surfaces due to the buzz surrounding it, but much of it turns out to be incorrect or even fabricated. A recent claim regarding Naughty Dog’s new IP has swiftly joined the ranks of such misinformation. Just a few hours ago, Twitter user ArctixOfficial stumbled upon a LinkedIn profile belonging to an individual named Raymond Keller, who claims to be an Environment Artist at Naughty Dog with experience at WB Games Montreal and Bungie. What makes this more intriguing is that Keller mentioned they’re working on a new IP at Naughty Dog called “Timeless Travel.

“Timeless Travel” Name Leak for Naughty Dog’s New IP Has Been Discredited

This rumor initially sent Naughty Dog fans into a frenzy, inciting lots of speculation about the sci-fi implications of the Timeless Travel name. However, fact-checkers have since debunked this rumor, as they found no evidence of Raymond Keller in the credits for any WB Montreal or Bungie games in the past decade. Details on Naughty Dog’s new IP continue to elude fans, but the long wait could be coming to a close fairly soon. Studio president Neil Druckmann recently confirmed that the unannounced project he’s currently helming at Naughty Dog has been in development since 2020.

Given that AAA games typically require between five and seven years for development and release, and Naughty Dog is currently four years into their next project, it’s reasonable to assume they are nearing the end of production. This suggests that an official unveiling of Naughty Dog’s upcoming game might not be too far in the future. With renowned voice actor Troy Baker confirmed for this new game, there’s a strong possibility it could be their long-awaited new IP instead of The Last of Us Part 3.
