Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann Would Like to Make a ‘Punisher’ or ‘Ghost Rider’ Game

Insomniac Games hit a home run and then some with Marvel’s Spider-Man on the PS4. So, why can’t genre fans get a superhero game to call their own? Well, if Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann had his way, we could.

When asked by Greg Miller aka GameOverGreggy what established IP he’d want to tackle next in video game form (theoretically, mind you), Druckmann listed off several IPs. Right at the top of the list (besides Half-Life), Druckmann listed The Punisher and Ghost Rider.

Obviously, this isn’t meant to indicate that anything’s happening (it’s not), but it does lead to “what ifs”. After all, the last Punisher game to come out had Thomas Jane voicing the character in 2005’s The Punisher for the PlayStation 2, PC and Xbox, and it was as fun as it was violent (which is plenty). Too violent, it seems, as the game had to be toned down in order to get a Mature rating.

As for Ghost Rider, apart from his appearance in Marvel vs. Capcom 3, the last standalone game starring the Spirit of Vengeance was the 2007 tie-in game for the first film for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox. That, unfortunately, turned out to be a by-the-numbers God of War rip-off.

Still, what do you think of a modern video game starring either of these Marvel characters? For Punisher fans, it’d give them closure over the cancellation of the Netflix series.

Once the heart of the powerful Vampire civilization, the Ruins of Mortium now lies in ruins, teeming with the cult-like remnants of Dracula’s forces. Players will encounter the Draculin, creatures tainted by Dracula’s influence, and face off against his Vampire Generals. The ultimate challenge awaits as players journey into the depths of Mortium to confront Dracula himself. While battling through his forces and disrupting dark rituals intent on reviving the ancient Vampire king, players will uncover ancient powers and prepare for the ultimate showdown against the tyrant himself.

Ruins of Mortium is just one piece of the new content for V Rising when it launches in full. Here’s a rundown of what to expect:

  • Explore a new deadly endgame zone: The Ruins of Mortium
  • Experience dynamic endgame events
  • Fight a new breed of foe and new V Blood bosses
  • New weapons, A new tier of equipment, and magic improvements
  • Improvements to castle building, decor, and storage
