Development will begin at Naughty Dog, 1ères

While the TV world will get to know the TV series on HBO on January 15th (still no clue to the French broadcaster yet…), the license for The Last of Us will return for a third episode. There’s no official announcement from Naughty Dog at the moment, but an insider delved into some secrets on Twitter. This leaker is called ViewerAnon on social media and claims that Neil Druckmann’s next game is none other than The Last of Us Part 3, and that the game has already gone into production. If ViewerAnon’s tweet is priced in seriously, it’s because important elements of The Last of Us TV series have already been leaked, such as Ashley Johnson playing Ellie’s mother, Anna. As we can see in the final trailer. ViewerAnon himself also gives the paternity of the first information on Crash Bandicoot, in order to give credence to these leaks.

Well, I’m not watching anything, so… Dr. Uckmann’s Next is the final sequel to the US sequel currently in production at Naughty Dog. https://t.co/MxN8aBq9cy

It’s hard not to believe that with words, The Last of Us has become such an important and productive license. It makes a lot more sense considering The Last if Us Part 2’s ending was open-ended, leaving Ellie and Abby alive from their massive conflict. ViewerAnon takes the opportunity to specify that we’ll have to wait a few years before we see something in The Last of Us 3, but that the studio will soon launch Factions, the multiplayer mode in The Last of Us 2 that it waited several years for. We also know that the Californian studio has released several projects at the same time, and one of them is a new license. We remember that the introductory sketches for the portfolio of Hyoung Nam, senior concept artist at Naughty Dog, ignited the Internet at the beginning of 2021. These illustrations for “Women of the North” are accompanied by the caption “Inspired by the new game, you know what I’m talking about… ;)” They hinted that it might be their new unreleased game. Furthermore, upon returning to port, the legend has been modified to “Inspire from a new game called “Assassin’s Creed Valhalla”. You know what I’m talking about…”
