Fans of The Last of Us were recently left reeling by Neil Druckmann's ambiguous statement regarding a potential sequel. However, a flicker of hope has ignited thanks to insider Daniel Richtman, who claims the next installment is not only in development but has already begun filming, with actors already cast.

Considering Druckmann's previous rather vague pronouncements, this rumor warrants consideration. His statement about "no next The Last of Us" might have referred to a different project already in development. Furthermore, he's employed similar ambiguity before announcements of past titles, notably Part II. However, it's crucial to acknowledge Richtman's history of inaccurate leaks.
Despite the uncertainty, the existence of at least a concept for a new The Last of Us game is confirmed. Any official announcements, however, may be delayed. Naughty Dog might prioritize promoting their upcoming new IP, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, before revealing further details.
