Naughty Dog's Supposed New IP Timeless Travel Seemingly a Fake

Brought back down to Earth

Update [Tue 26th Nov 2024, 10:56am]: Well, never mind. The LinkedIn profile which bears the Timeless Travel name appears to be a fake one.

The profile, belonging to a supposed Raymond Keller, purports to have a background at Bungie and WB Games Montreal — working on Gotham Knights — in addition to a current position at Naughty Dog, but there doesn't seem to be any evidence of such a name in the credits of the aforementioned action game or any Destiny projects.

Unfortunately, this seems to be nothing more than a trick. We'll update this again if anything new comes to light, but it's looking like a false alarm.

Original Story: We all know Naughty Dog is beavering away at something, we just don't know what. Well, we know it'll be a single player game in the studio's usual style, with the developer committing to that after dropping its multiplayer The Last of Us title. But what is the Californian studio up to?

A clue from LinkedIn has appeared (spotted by Arktix), and it could very well reveal the title of the team's new IP. It would appear the game is known as Timeless Travel:

We've seen the profile in question, and can confirm it does indeed feature this phrase at the time of writing. This will likely be removed once Sony and Naughty Dog are made aware of it.

It's possible that Timeless Travel is a codename of some sort, although codenames are typically nondescript words or phrases. Timeless Travel reads as some kind of sci-fi or possibly fantasy adventure, either of which would be a refreshing change of pace from Naughty Dog.

Whatever the case, we expect the studio's cinematic style will permeate the game; indeed, it seems like Troy Baker is set to play a role in the team's next title.
