"Last of Us 3: Is There Hope?"

Fans of *The Last of Us* series were still reeling from Neil Druckmann's recent statement that a new game might not be in the works when a ray of hope emerged. Insider Daniel Richtman has ignited 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 ambiguity of Naughty Dog's director'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 a sequel that was already underway. It's worth noting that he has made similar comments before the announcement of *Part II*. However, it's important to approach Richtman's leaks with caution, as he has a history of inaccuracies.

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