Two new The Last of Us projects in “very early stages” at Naughty Dog
'We wouldn't return to The Last of Us unless we had something meaningful to say.'
Two new projects set in the world of The Last of Us are in the “very early stages” at Naughty Dog, studio head Neil Druckmann said in a note marking the end of The Last of Us Day 2026.
“Since [The Last of Us Part II documentary] Grounded II, we’ve talked about the possibility of telling more stories in the world of The Last of Us,” Druckmann said.
“We have a couple of very exciting new projects in very early stages—so we can’t say much about them at this point. I will tell you that both projects will expand the canon of The Last of Us beyond [The Last of Us Part I] and [The Last of Us Part II].”
He added, “The world of The Last of Us means a great deal to us, and we wouldn’t return to it unless we had something meaningful to say. We believe these stories are worth telling.”
Druckmann did not specify whether the new projects are video games.
