Neil Druckmann, co-creator of The Last of Us, doesn't see himself making many more big games

While The Last of Us Part III looks set to be Naughty Dog's next big game, Neil Druckmann, co-creator of the franchise and director of the second game, may be turning over a new leaf after this project.

In an interview with rapper Logic, the developer said he'd like to move on to games that are less stressful to make and a little less ambitious.

"I don't see myself doing this forever on this scale. It takes a lot of effort. It's very stressful to manage so many people and studios all over the world [...] I could see myself moving on to something more low-key and less stressful, but which allows me to have a creative outlet. But you know, I've started to think about how many games of this type I still have in me, and there aren't that many."

In the interview available in full below, Druckmann also explains that he thoroughly enjoyed his creative role on the TV series The Last of Us. He also said that Uncharted 2 was the most enjoyable game for him to develop.
