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 spark 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 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 note Richtman's track record includes inaccurate leaks.
Nevertheless, the existence of at least a concept for a new game is confirmed. As for an official announcement or further news, Naughty Dog may be prioritizing the promotion of its upcoming new IP, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.
