Author: Christian Apr 10,2025

Fans of *The Last of Us* series were still reeling from Neil Druckmann's recent statement suggesting that a new game might not be on the horizon when a ray of hope emerged. Insider Daniel Richtman has stirred excitement by claiming that the next installment is not only in development but has already cast its actors and filmed some scenes.

Given the ambiguous nature of Druckmann's earlier comments, these rumors could carry some weight. When Druckmann mentioned there would be "no next *The Last of Us*," he might have been hinting at the already-in-progress sequel. It's worth noting that he has made similar ambiguous statements in the past, right before the announcement of *Part II*. However, it's important to consider that Richtman has a track record of both accurate and inaccurate leaks.

Despite the uncertainty, it's confirmed that a concept for the new installment does exist. As for an official announcement or further news, Naughty Dog might be holding off to keep the spotlight on their upcoming new IP, *Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet*.
