Is There Still a Chance for The Last of Us 3?

Fans of The Last of Us were recently left reeling by Neil Druckmann's suggestion that a new game might not be on the horizon. 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 earlier ambiguous statement, this rumor warrants consideration. His comment about "no next The Last of Us" might have referred to a sequel already underway. Furthermore, he's employed similar ambiguity before announcements, notably preceding Part II. However, it's important to note Richtman's track record includes inaccurate leaks.

Nevertheless, the existence of at least a concept for a new The Last of Us game is confirmed. As for an official announcement or further news, Naughty Dog may be prioritizing its upcoming new IP, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, to avoid diverting attention.
