Jak And Daxter Fans, Prepare To Have Your Heart Broken
Key Points:
- A remake of Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy was pitched to Sony in 2019 but was ultimately rejected, similar to how Sanzaru pitched Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time before it was approved.
- The pitch included a polished scene from the original game, shared by former Sanzaru animator Travis Howe, who expressed pride in the work despite the project not moving forward.
- No new Jak and Daxter games have been released since 2009’s The Lost Frontier, which was developed by High Impact Games after Naughty Dog passed on the series.
- Naughty Dog considered continuing the Jak and Daxter series during the PS3 era but chose to develop The Last of Us instead.
- Although the remake was declined, the pitch highlights ongoing interest in revisiting classic PS2-era games.
