The Last of Us Part 3 is Currently in Development at Naughty Dog – Rumour

Naughty Dog is one among several first party PlayStation Studios that hasn’t yet revealed concrete details what it’s working on next, but it seems those details have nonetheless managed to come to light. Over on Twitter, ViewerAnon – a known movie leaker who has also leaked some gaming-related stories in the past – seems to have spilled the beans on Naughty Dog’s next big projects.

It won’t surprise too many that one of those projects is allegedly The Last of Us Part 3, which ViewerAnon says is Neil Druckmann’s next directorial project and is currently in development. Druckmann confirmed in June this year that his next game had entered development.

Though official details on the same obviously remain scant, there have been indications in the past that a new Last of Us game could be the project in question. Druckmann has previously said that The Last of Us Part 3 could be next for a studio, while he also confirmed in April 2021 that a story outline for the game was already ready.

Meanwhile, ViewerAnon also mentions that a new Uncharted game is being developed by a different studio, which aligns with recent leaks that claimed that an Uncharted reboot was in the works, but not at Naughty Dog. Finally, as per ViewerAnon, Naughty Dog’s standalone multiplayer The Last of Us game will launch before its other projects- which may or may not also include a new IP.

Sony has yet to make any official statements regarding the future of The Last of Us and Uncharted, and that may not change for a while- even if the aforementioned titles are indeed in the works, they’re likely to be in the early stages of production, which means we may not hear much about them for some time (in an official capacity, at least).

Well, I'm not watching anything, so… Dr. Uckmann's next game is THE LAST OF US PART III which is currently in production at Naughty Dog. https://t.co/MxN8aBq9cy
