Josh Scherr is a 17-year veteran of acclaimed video game developer Naughty Dog. Currently writing for The Last of Us: Part II, he was co-writer of the award-winning Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy.

Prior to joining the writing team full-time in 2014, Josh led the cinematics animation team for the first three games in the Uncharted series, as well as the Playstation 2-era Jak & Daxter series.

Josh has worn a number of proverbial hats at Naughty Dog, including: helping develop their performance capture pipeline and define the cinematic look of their games, story development and writing on Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune and Uncharted 2: Among Thieves; developing and co-writing the Uncharted comic book for DC Comics, and probably a few other things he’s forgetting because 17 years is a long time.
