Neil Druckmann, director of The Last of Us, recently took to Twitter to tease about a possible concept for a potential game.
"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.
Najam from eXputer writes "It's time fore a new installment in the series, not another pointless remaster."
They are working on something new. Not to be rude but it is impossibility stupid to think ND next major announcement is going to be a remaster or their next Last of Us entry is going to be another remaster.
Uncharted 4 - 2014
The Last Of Us 2 - 2015
As much as I'd love sequels to both Uncharted and The Last of US, I'd much rather see new IP's from them. They are such a talented team, it seems better to let them flex their creative muscles with original/unique IP's. Let Sony's smaller up and coming studios do the sequels under their supervision.
I want Alien abductions!!
If that movie poster was actually what they were doing....
How awesome would that be?
Am I sensing a Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon vibe here because it has 80s written all over it.
A space game with an 80s sensibility but with better acting & story telling.
Go for it ND. This would be epic.
If there looking for a concept of a game, don't expect this for a few years. They obviously havnt started making this new ip or whatever it is.
