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 surprising glimmer of hope emerged. Insider Daniel Richtman has claimed that not only is the next installment in development, but it has already cast its actors and filmed some scenes.

Given the ambiguous nature of Druckmann's earlier comments, these rumors could potentially hold some truth. When Druckmann mentioned there would be "no next The Last of Us," he might have been referring to a sequel that was already in the works. It's worth noting that Druckmann has made similar statements in the past, only to later announce The Last of Us Part II. However, it's important to approach Richtman's leaks with caution, as he has a history of inaccuracies.
Despite the uncertainty, it is confirmed that a concept for the new installment does exist. As for any official announcements or further news, Naughty Dog might be holding off to keep the spotlight on their upcoming new IP, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.
