Fans of *The Last of Us* series were still reeling from Neil Druckmann's recent statement that a new game might not be on the horizon when a sudden ray of hope emerged. Insider Daniel Richtman claims that the next installment is not only in development but has already cast its actors, and some scenes have even been filmed.

Given the rather 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 referring to a sequel already in the works. It's worth noting that he has made similar statements before the announcement of *Part II*. However, it's important to consider that Richtman has a history of inaccurate leaks.
Despite this, it is known that at least a concept for the new installment exists. As for an announcement or any other official news, the studio might be hesitant to divert attention from its upcoming new IP, *Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet*.
