Fans of *The Last of Us* series were still reeling from Neil Druckmann's recent statement hinting that a new game might not be on the horizon when a sudden ray of hope emerged. Insider Daniel Richtman has sparked 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 somewhat ambiguous statement from Naughty Dog's director, these rumors could hold some weight. When Druckmann mentioned there would be "no next The Last of Us", he might have been alluding to a sequel already in the works. It's worth noting that Druckmann has previously made similar comments before announcing *Part II*. However, it's important to approach Richtman's leaks with caution, as he has a history of inaccurate information.

Despite the uncertainty, it's confirmed that a concept for the new installment does exist. As for an official announcement or further news, Naughty Dog might be holding off to keep the spotlight on their upcoming new IP, *Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet*.
