Druckmann via NYT:

Druckmann, 46, said that the chance to make something new was earned after a string of successful games — The Last of Us franchise has sold more than 37 million copies, Naughty Dog said early last year — and that he did not feel like he had something to prove at this point in his career.

Developing new intellectual property can be nerve-racking because of the financial investment; Naughty Dog has had a series of layoffs over the past two years and underwent a restructuring that Druckmann said would ensure the company could operate as "an I.P. powerhouse."

"It is about striking a balance of business and art," he said. "It is not just jumping on any opportunity to increase our bottom line."

Druckmann said he was keenly aware that some gamers have eagerly awaited news about Intergalactic.

"It's really hard to work on these things in secret and silence for so many years," he said, "and then to see our fans go on social media and say, 'Enough with the remasters and remakes! Where are your new games and new I.P.s?'"

He added, "We are finally starting to lift the curtain on this thing."

So much ad placement and celebs

this is gonna be a masterpiece

Getting collectors edition

If I can beat the scalpers*

Intergalactic is their worst nightmare. A black woman with a shaved head

Why is f***ing Kumail Nanjiani in everything

Known cast so far:

• Tati Gabrielle
• Kumail Nanjiani

Chopping his head off with a sci fi sword sounds cool

Porsche, Adidas, Pet Shop Boys. Actually shocked by how willing they are to include these brands in a sci-fi game set in space, would think they'd want to stay away from real life brands like that since it can ruin immersion

Per description New York time. Takes place in 1986 in an age where space exploration is much more advanced than it was.

I’m not mad at the product placement. Look at blade runner with them neon coke signs and ads

wonder how big bakers role will play in this

really hope he's a bad guy
