As you know, the respected leak maker ViewerAnon created a surprise on Twitter in December 2022 by announcing the development of the 3rd The Last of Us game. .
An insider could count on a statement from Neil Druckmann himself, co-chairman of Naughty Dog and director of the first two works of the video game saga, to back up his words: Talking about the possibility of episode 3 on the Script Apart podcast in January 2023. Specifically, he explains that he has already outlined the script with co-writer Halley Gross.
However, he quickly reverted to his statements in a recent interview for Buzzfeed. In this interview, the manager said that a 3rd work will be launched, provided that it is “”.like the first two games, it is a gripping story about love that carries a universal message and expression”.
A source at Sony confirms the existence of the game
As you can understand, the thinking minds of Naughty Dog, Neil Druckmann, are not completely closed to this idea, but the existence of a 3rd edition of The Last of Us is currently very uncertain. But if we are to believe our colleagues from The Leak site, A Sony source has confirmed that the game is in development.
according to his words, Sony lists Naughty Dog-led game as “In Progress”. And interestingly, the title was obviously going to be released on PS5… But also on PS6! What does this mean?

A version far from improbable on PS6
In one way or another, thing is far from improbable. The first The Last Of Us debuted on PS3 in June 2013, and a year later, in July 2014, it was released on PS4 with a Remastered version. On the other hand, one has to take into account the time it takes to develop a AAA game today, as renowned journalist Jason Schreier reminds: “Fun fact: Video game production cycles have taken so long that if a big-budget game studio were to start working on a brand new project, it would probably be for the Playstation 6″.
on his side, Paul Tassi from Forbes also wants The Last of Us Part 3 to be published in 2026 : “The Last of Us came out in June 2013. The Last of Us Part II came out in June 2020, but in the meantime Uncharted 4 and Uncharted Lost Legacy were made. So, of course, a potential 2026 release date for The Last of Us Part 3 lines up pretty well and aligns with the apparent plans for the HBO series.” He is writing a new article on the topic. And what do you think? Let us know in the comments.
