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 might hold water. His comment about "no next The Last of Us" could have referred to a sequel already underway. Furthermore, he's made similar pronouncements before the announcement of Part II. However, it's worth noting that Richtman has a history of inaccurate leaks.
Nevertheless, the existence of at least a concept for a new game is confirmed. Any official announcements, though, might be delayed. Naughty Dog may be prioritizing the marketing of its upcoming new IP, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.
