It’s always a very exciting time for the studio when Naughty Dog comes to visit and it’s been a while.

Naughty Dog’s previous trip to the Philippines was in late February 2020, literally a few weeks before the world went into lockdown. Normally, these trips happen prior to their game releases and we, like the rest of the industry, at that particular time, were eagerly awaiting The Last of Us Part II, hitting the retail markets later that June.

Fast forward then to last Friday, June 30, 2023. Key members of our AAA art team (3D, concept artists & project managers) were in face-to-face discussions with both Erick Pangilinan, art director, and Mark Pajarillo, lead outsource artist.  

‍

These visits mean so much to us as we get to discuss the new engine and RnD technologies learned in our most recent collaborations on the fully rebuilt and complete remake of The Last of Us Part I, PlayStation 5 version. We also get to showcase new service lines with the team too!  

‍

Our collaborations with Naughty Dog have spanned across many of their best-selling PlayStation exclusives, and we're grateful for their continued trust. 

‍

Thank you, Erick and Mark, and we cannot wait to be part of your next big game!
