Given the studio's release patterns, a Last of Us sequel next year doesn't make sense, so take the rumor with a grain of salt. Naughty Dog is still scheduled to release The Last of Us' expansion on February 14, while many other developers toil away on the next Uncharted. This leaves few resources for a sequel to The Last of Us, on new hardware no less. Furthermore, given development cycles, it's unlikely that a project such as this would be out of pre-production and in full development.Contacted for comment, Sony responded to IGN stating, "Thanks for reaching out. However, we do not comment on rumor or speculation."For more on Naughty Dog and all of its games, check out Rising to Greatness: The History of Naughty Dog on IGN.
