Is There Still a Chance for The Last of Us 3?

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 sudden 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, with some scenes reportedly filmed.

Given the somewhat ambiguous earlier statement from Naughty Dog's director, these rumors might carry some weight. When Druckmann mentioned there would be "no next The Last of Us," he could have been alluding to a sequel that was already in the works. It's worth noting that he has made similar statements in the past, right before the announcement of *Part II*. However, it's important to approach Richtman's leaks with caution, as he has a history of inaccuracies.

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