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 that a new game might not be forthcoming when a sudden ray of hope emerged. Insider Daniel Richtman has claimed 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 may carry some weight. When Druckmann mentioned there would be "no next The Last of Us," he could have been hinting at the already-in-development sequel. Moreover, he has made similar statements in the past, notably before the announcement of *Part II*. However, it's worth noting that Richtman has had his share of inaccurate leaks.

It is confirmed that a concept for the new installment exists. As for an official announcement or further news, the studio might be holding off to keep the spotlight on their upcoming new IP, *Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet*.
