In an interview with LaPS3, Ricky Cambier, designer of The Last of Us, talks about the future of Naughty Dog. He said: "The last three years we have had two full teams dedicated mainly to the creation of this ambitious project, investigating a fascinating new field. Now we analyze the reaction of our fans and new players, to really know if a need is created around the game. There are many possibilities to exploit this story. We have many ideas to develop, both in the world of Uncharted as in The Last of Us ".
The Opening Levels that hooked gamers from the outset.
"The Game Music Foundation are today very proud and pleased to announce an additional concert, circling back to the roots of Game Muisic Festival in Poland. On April 28th, 2024, the National Forum of Music in Wroclaw will once again become a place to celebrate the art of video game music, featuring scores from The Last of Us and The Last of Us Part II." - The Game Music Foundation.
Speaking on what’s coming next for Naughty Dog, which could be either their new IP or The Last Of Us Part III, Druckmann gave what he seems to feel are realities of the project he’s talking about. That it’ll both be “really ambitious” but also “really hard.”

"I’ve really surrendered to knowing it’s going to be really hard, knowing it’s going to stress members of the team out"
As if crunch wasn't stressing them enough
That it’ll both be “really ambitious” but also “really hard.”
Not 'is' but 'will be', kinda suggests that they haven't started yet, hope not.
Come on ND, a game PLEAAAAASSSSEEEE. Desperate this gen.
Also, just off-topic slightly but..
Does anyone think that layoffs now may well be making space for AI integration of game development, and 'crunch-time', 'unsustainable', 'big budget' are all terms been used to butter us up to receiving the news that AI integration will help and maintain the level of AAA games that were accustomed to? Perhaps the layoffs were the devs that didn't join a union quick enough and if only they had the smarts of SAG members and strike while the time is right, before its too late?! Imagine DEV's on strike at a time like this, there's already a game drought.
Oh man! My body is feeling the incoming game of TLOU. The anticipation is growing. I can't wait to dig in. No demos no trailers no nothing. I won't let anything spoil this gem for me.
TLOU = GOTY 2013...!
Oh TLOU should be my most played game after Uncharted 2..
Giggiddy.
