The Last Of Us 2 Accidentally Outed In Naughty Dog Stream
Options
Naughty Dog appears to have accidentally confirmed the existence of The Last of Us 2 during a livestream focused on the upcoming Nathan Drake Collection.
First noticed by Gamepur, during the livestream featuring community strategist Eric Monacelli, writer Josh Scherr and lead animator Eric Baldwin, Scherr seemed to all but confirm a second Last of Us game is indeed on the way.
"All the ? animation in the Uncharted series was led up by Eric, here," he begins, "and [on] the first The Last of Us. Uh, did I say the first The Last of Us?”

Though it's not an official confirmation, if you watch the video above and note how flustered Scherr becomes, repeating himself several times and tripping over his words, it certainly seems like he realises he's slipped up. It's possible he's referring to the original game rather than the Left Behind expansion, of course, but this seems unlikely.
This isn't the first time we've heard mutters about a sequel to The Last of Us. Earlier this year voice actor Nolan North claimed The Last of Us 2 is being worked on at Naughty Dog, though Troy Baker (the man behind Joel) was quick to say things remain up in the air.
We know ideas for The Last of Us 2 have been kicked around, but currently the studio's primary focus is on finished Uncharted 4. With that in mind, if you're hoping to hear something official about Naughty Dog's next project, don't expect anything before next year.

Worst kept secret...
No way they would not do a sequel... -
GOAT of all time
-
One of the few games where the story and depth overpowered the gameplay and graphics of the game. It had me
-
I've been meaning to play that game forever
-
First day cop.
-
Hell yea!
-
I enjoyed the multiplayer too, it was a nice breath of fresh air different from call of duty.
-
it probably wont have anything to do with joel and ellie, they said their story is finished
-
I'd like to see new protagonists.
-
Yeah...
No more Joel and Ellie is the way to go... -
One of the few games I actually bought twice, ps3&ps4
-
I just want them to broaden the universe.

yea I bought it on both systems too havent played the ps4 ver yet -
The last of us is the game that got me semi back into gaming, before the last of us all I really played was 2k
-
Best mp
-
Game of the decade contender.
-
I wouldn't mind seeing Ellie grown up or her and Joel with aa cameo in a new story
-
I wanna see how they're going to rebuild after that. But I think that would take away from the game I'm a sense. Just quests to be doing quests. Either way I'm all in.

there's definitely room for more story with the two imo, having Ellie as the main character would be the way forward.I didn't feel like the ending of the first game gave me closure at all. -

cosign. Them ? just dipped off into the sunset like everything in the world ain't tryna ? them. I'd like to see if ellie can get the vaccine out and start to create order in the chaos. -
Nevetmind that you still have 10 years to work with for a Prequel when Joell Daughter Died to when he met Ellie.
