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 previous ambiguous statements, this rumor warrants consideration. His comment about "no next The Last of Us" could have referred to a sequel already underway. Furthermore, he's employed similar tactics before, preceding the announcement of Part II. However, it's important to note that Richtman has a history of inaccurate leaks.
Despite this, the existence of at least a concept for the new game is confirmed. As for an official announcement, Naughty Dog may be prioritizing the promotion of their upcoming new IP, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, and avoiding any distractions.
