The rumor mill is churning with whispers of Naughty Dog’s next big project, potentially titled “Timeless Travel.” Following the release of The Last of Us Part 2 in 2020, and subsequent remakes and remasters, fans are eager for news of a new IP. A recent LinkedIn profile seemingly belonging to a Naughty Dog environment artist may have offered a glimpse into the future, but the leak’s legitimacy is under scrutiny.
This supposed leak originated from the LinkedIn profile of Raymond Keller, who listed “Timeless Travel” as a new IP under their work experience at Naughty Dog. While the prospect of a new game is exciting, questions surrounding Keller’s profile have cast doubt on the information. Is “Timeless Travel” the official title, a codename, or simply a fabrication?

Doubts Surround Leaked Title
Several inconsistencies in Keller’s profile have fueled skepticism. Notably, Keller’s name is absent from the credits of Gotham Knights, a project they purportedly worked on before joining Naughty Dog. A similar discrepancy arises with their claimed tenure at Bungie from 2015 to 2020, with no credit attributed to them for Destiny or Destiny 2. These omissions raise significant concerns about the profile’s authenticity.
The ease with which fabricated profiles can be created on LinkedIn further contributes to the suspicion. Coupled with the lack of corroborating evidence on platforms like Moby Games, the possibility of “Timeless Travel” being entirely fabricated seems increasingly likely.
A Glimmer of Hope: Troy Baker’s Involvement
Amidst the uncertainty surrounding the leaked title, a confirmed detail offers a glimmer of hope. Actor Troy Baker, known for his roles in previous Naughty Dog titles, has confirmed his involvement in their upcoming project. While the extent of his role remains undisclosed, his continued collaboration with the studio suggests exciting developments on the horizon.
Looking Ahead: What’s Next for Naughty Dog?
While the “Timeless Travel” leak remains unverified, the anticipation for Naughty Dog’s next game continues to build. Whether this leaked title proves true or not, the studio’s track record of delivering compelling narratives and innovative gameplay experiences leaves fans eager to see what they have in store. With Troy Baker’s confirmed involvement, the future of Naughty Dog’s projects remains a topic of intense speculation and excitement.
