Fans of The Last of Us series were still reeling from Neil Druckmann's recent statement suggesting that a new game might not be in the works when a sudden ray of hope emerged. Insider Daniel Richtman has claimed that not only is the next installment in development, but actors have already been cast, and some scenes have reportedly been filmed.

Given the ambiguity of Druckmann's earlier statement, these rumors might carry some weight. When Druckmann mentioned there would be "no next The Last of Us," he could have been referring to an already-in-development sequel. It's worth noting that he has made similar statements in the past, prior to the announcement of The Last of Us Part II. However, it's important to approach Richtman's leaks with caution, as he has had his share of inaccurate predictions.
Despite the uncertainty, it's confirmed that at least a concept for a new installment exists. As for any official announcements, Naughty Dog might be holding off to keep the focus on their upcoming new IP, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.
