I'm hoping this thread can be rebooted after the last one that was built on a faulty foundation as we can probably still have some meaningful discussion. Mods, feel free to close it if you disagree.
Neil Druckmann recently spoke with The New Yorker (relevant section at the very bottom) where he revealed the first real tidbit about his upcoming project and how they're aiming to structure the writing of this game:
His next project, he revealed, was a game that was "structured more like a TV show" than anything else Naughty Dog had made—for which he'd taken a highly unusual step. He wasn't writing the script alone, or with a single partner. He was assembling a writers' room.
Neil further clarified on Twitter:

Additional note, since some have wondered if the above project is for the upcoming TLOU MP game. Neil isn't directing the TLOU MP game, it's being headed by Vinit Agarwal, Anthony Newman and Joseph Pettinati. At Summer Game Fest they talked about those 3 directing TLOU MP and at the very end of that segment Geoff asked Neil what he's directing and he said it's a little early to talk about it, but he hasn't give up his day job. Whatever he's working on is separate from TLOU MP. Maybe it's a new IP, or maybe it's TLOU Part 3, we can only guess. I'm personally guessing a new IP.
