"The Last of Us 3: Still a Possibility?"

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

Considering the ambiguous nature of Druckmann's earlier comments, these rumors could carry some weight. When Druckmann mentioned there would be "no next The Last of Us," he might have been alluding to an already-in-progress sequel. It's also worth noting that he's made similar statements in the past, right before the announcement of *The Last of Us Part II*. However, it's important to remember that Richtman has a history of inaccurate leaks.

Despite the uncertainty, it's confirmed that a concept for a 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*.
