The Last of Us II divided the community back in 2020. The direction that Naughty Dog took to continue the stories of Joel and Ellie, plus the divided reception that Abby received, have the fans hopeful in the production of a third part that “continues” or “fixes” the canon that marked the sequel. For now, the last post regarding this IP es a new version of the first part for PS5 and PC.
Los insiders and his leaks have also helped fuel rumors that The Last of Us III It would be in an early phase of production. This led to Neil Druckmann himself publicly indicate that the leaks regarding the third part of The Last of Us they are false. The co-president of Naughty Dog made his defenses in Twitter.
Happy New Year, peeps! As always, thank you so much for the incredible support. We got lots of cool stuff coming next year that we can’t wait to share with y’all! (P.S. be wary of “insider” info. Much of it is false.) pic.twitter.com/QSYTqiybmv

“We have a lot of great stuff coming up next year that we can’t wait to share with all of you! (PS: be very careful with “insider” information. Much of it is false)”
In the instance, he took advantage of calling on the public not to give credit to all the publications of the insidersarguing that they deliver false information just to gain notoriety on the internet.
He also asked not to believe without first investigating the veracity of the facts, so as not to end up disappointed when seeing that the launch of that game that they wanted so much was a lie or ended up announcing something that did not meet their expectations.
Although Druckmann did not aim for a insider in particular, everything would indicate that he was referring to ViewerAnon, who assured weeks ago that The Last of Us III it was already brewing inside the studio.
