Now we bring you one of those rumors that will surely excite PlayStation fans, especially The Last of Us fans. HBO's series based on the first game set to premiere next year might not be the only new content about the acclaimed franchise created by Naughty Dog. And no, we are not talking about the multiplayer game whose development is already known.

The source of this rumor is the insider known as ViewerAnon, who used his Twitter account to surprise the world by stating that The Last of Us Part III is already in the production stage. Yes, the next chapter of the original story that began in 2013 on PlayStation 3 would already be cooking.

On the way to a trilogy?

In addition to stating that the game is in development, the leaker adds that the study in charge of it would be Naughty Dog. Although one might imagine this is obvious, that might not be the case, as we remember that sometimes series change developers, worrying fans about the next games.

In case you are unfamiliar with the name ViewerAnon and wondering why we should trust their words just like that. Of course, as with any insider and rumor, we should not take anything for granted until there is an official communication from one of the parties involved in the project in question

That being said, this leaker's specialty is rumors related to movie productions. However, as he mentions, he knows "fun people" in the video game industry who provide him with inside information.

In that sense, we can say that it has an interesting story, including the early reveal of Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About time. Similarly, he announced that Ashley Johnson, Ellie in The Las of Us video games, will play the protagonist's mother in the series of HBO.
