Evan Wells probably isn’t a man those of you casual gamers have seen or heard much about, as he’s been working mostly behind the scenes for over 15 years. That’s not to say he hasn’t been hugely important, as he played a pivotal role in Naughty Dog and PlayStation’s giant hits with Uncharted and The Last of Us. That’s why tonight’s news is very interesting.
Wells a announcement that he would retire as co-president of Naughty Dog at the end of the year, which gives the impression that he will not continue in the gaming industry after spending 25 years at the studio which we gave many Crash Bandicoot, Jak and Daxter, Uncharted and The Last of Us games.
It will be very fascinating to see if this leads to any changes at Naughty Dog. Being the president of ‘the kennel’ for 18 years obviously means that he played a very important role in the studio’s transition from the more cartoony, kid-friendly games to the mature, story-driven titles he is known for today. today. He gives the impression that Neil Druckmann, who was promoted to co-president three years ago, will become the only president, but I guess it’s temporary, because Druckmann already has his hands full with a new game and the realization from season 2 of HBO’s The Last of Us. Then it would be next to impossible to also be the only president of a studio that is working on at least two other games. Nevertheless, enjoy your retirement, Evan. You certainly deserve it.
