Creator of The Last of Us Has a New Game

New Game Reveal from Wildflower Interactive at The Game Awards - A Fresh Intellectual Property with Vibrant Settings and Hidden Dangers

Bruce Straley, co-director of the acclaimed game The Last of Us at Naughty Dog, will reveal his new game this week. Straley, who founded Wildflower Interactive in 2021, has been developing an ambitious project since then. The official announcement is scheduled for The Game Awards on December 11, 2025. All indications suggest that this game will depart from the darker tones of The Last of Us and Uncharted, featuring a lighter artistic style with vibrant settings. However, the teaser hints at lurking dangers, with a large creature causing a disturbance in the environment. The game appears to be a completely new intellectual property, not based on any existing licenses. While the title and release date for Wildflower Interactive's first game remain unknown, anticipation is building for the full reveal. A tweet from Geoff Keighley on December 9, 2025, promoted the announcement: "Join us Thursday for the announcement of the first game from Wildflower Interactive (playwildflower). #TheGameAwards pic.twitter.comf1lj19ctxX" The teaser video showcases a cel-shaded art style and a wilderness setting, complete with a bearlike roar and reassuring dialogue in the background.

Straley's move to lead his own independent studio marks a new chapter after his departure from Naughty Dog in 2017. Gamers eagerly await further details on Wildflower Interactive’s debut project following the full reveal.
