Naughty Dog studio head Neil Druckmann confirms the studio is working on two new projects set in the world of The Last of Us. He says both are in very early development and are intended to expand the franchise’s canon beyond The Last of Us Part I and Part II.
Outlets report Druckmann frames the decision as driven by “meaningful” story potential for returning to the setting. Details about what form the new games will take—including whether they relate to Part 3—are not provided because the projects are described as early-stage, with information kept limited.
The outlets also agree on an update for Naughty Dog’s sci-fi title Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. Druckmann says the studio will fully reveal the game in 2027, and that no deeper details are expected until then. The reporting attributes the timing to additional development time before the project can be shown publicly.
