Director and writer for Naughty Dog leaves after 10 years with the company.

IGN is reporting that Amy Hennig, the director and writer of Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception has left Naughty Dog after ten years.

The departure was confirmed earlier by a statement from Sony stating, “We can confirm that Amy Hennig has left Naughty Dog. Amy has made significant contributions to the game industry and we appreciate all she has done for Naughty Dog. The development timeline of Uncharted will not be impacted.”

There have since been rumors that Hennig was “forced out” and that Last of Us‘ Neil Druckmann and Bruce Straley may now take control of the Uncharted franchise as Hennig was working on the new project. You can see the teaser trailer for the new Uncharted game below.
