The Last Of Us: Part I developer Naughty Dog has paid tribute to Visual Arts producer Daniel Kinnard, who passed away during the game’s production, by immortalising the developer in-game in the form of a poster.
Bend Studio Animator Robert Morrison took to Twitter to reveal the news, describing Kinnard as a “wonderful person” and posted an image of the poster from The Last of Us Part I. As you can see below, the poster seems to depict Kinnard as a baseball star.
