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 spark of optimism emerged. Insider Daniel Richtman has stirred 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 ambiguous nature of Druckmann's earlier comments, these rumors could very well carry some weight. When Druckmann mentioned there would be "no next The Last of Us," he might have been referring to a sequel that was already underway. It's also worth noting that he has made similar statements in the past, right before the announcement of Part II. However, it's important to approach Richtman's leaks with caution, as he has a history of inaccurate reports.
Nonetheless, it's confirmed that at least a concept for the new installment exists. 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.
