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 seemingly definitive statement ruling out a new game. 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 might hold water. His declaration that there would be "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 acknowledge Richtman's track record includes inaccurate leaks.

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