Why Jak and Daxter Never Came Back

Jak and Daxter was one of PlayStation 2’s biggest franchises. The games sold millions, Naughty Dog kept reinventing the series, and fans never really stopped asking for another adventure. So why did Jak disappear? The strange part is that Naughty Dog actually considered bringing Jak and Daxter back more than once. From the jump from Crash Bandicoot to Jak, to Uncharted, an abandoned PSP project, a cancelled Jak reboot, The Last of Us and eventually Intergalactic, this is the story of how Naughty Dog kept reaching a crossroads where Jak could have returned… and kept choosing something new instead. Jak didn’t disappear because nobody cared. Naughty Dog changed.
