I just received this info from an insider:

In Project "Jordan," players dive into an enthralling underwater adventure as they guide Jordan, a majestic whale, through vibrant coral reefs and ancient shipwrecks.

Accompanied by Arachnie, a bioluminescent deep-sea spider, they solve intricate puzzles and illuminate dark caverns with her glowing web.

The dynamic duo faces off against high-tech laser-wielding sharks, adding a thrilling layer of danger to their journey.

As players navigate these challenges, they uncover the secrets of the ocean's depths, all while experiencing a dynamic AI-driven narrative that ensures every playthrough is unique.

This immersive game beautifully blends environmental themes with innovative storytelling, promising a groundbreaking experience for all who dive in.

You guys do get that code-names tend to be based on production sequence right? As in a first project would be code-named Alaska because A is the first letter in the alphabet, or Jordan if its project #9.

The whole idea of code-naming is picking something completely unrelated to the content!

Edit: J is #10 LOL. In my world A is 10 though, because generally if I'm using letters as numeric equivalents its usually just hexadecimal.

If true, would make sense for an UC5, it is going to be a 3d platformer where you do lots of jumping. So a 'jump man' codename would be on the nose, although, that would confirm playing as a man, which on second thoughts.....nah, team fake :)
What do you mean? Nathan Drake’s daughter is a girl in Uncharted 4. Her now calling herself a man is on brand for Naughty Dog.

I'm pretty sure ND have done more than 9 (well, 10) projects.

Sometimes project names are completely unrelated to anything. Or sometimes they are a hint, it's up to the developers.

(My current project is named 'metal man', it is related but it's not the games name)

T1 = TLOU
U4 = Uncharted 4
T2 = TLOU2

In an ideal world they'd be developing multiple projects. I'd love another Uncharted. And a Part 3 Last Of Us. And something completely new, but single player focused.

This new game better be ON POINT
its for sure gonna have us be like

I think whatever they do next, will have polarising reactions.

I'm so ready for a new Naughty Dog IP. It's been TLOU/Uncharted for the last 10 years. Then it's been remakes of visually sound games for like the last 5. But they won't release Uncharted 1-3 on PC or remaster those for some damn reason.
 
Neil Druckmann is from a Jewish religious background, right?

Just speculation from my side, but I clearly remember him in one of the behind the scenes videos of Last of Us 2, he said that how growing up in Israel and the war, had him succumb to the thought of revenge (I'm paraphrasing here, not exactly verbatim, so don't quote me on this nor am I trying to strawman him), and how it should not lead one on that path into adulthood, instead choose kindness, which eventually became one of the themes behind the story of Last of Us 2.

Maybe, this game takes place in Jordan and he wants to tell a tale close to home? Maybe even an Uncharted 5 set in Jordan?
