Naughty Dog is developing two new projects tied to The Last of Us, according to Al Jazeera Net. The outlet reports that both titles are still in a very early stage of production at the studio.
Al Jazeera's coverage was published on Wednesday, September 30, 2026, alongside other reporting on the franchise. The same summary notes that fans have been pressing Naughty Dog for news about a possible The Last of Us 3, though no such announcement is included in the material.
The news arrived around The Last of Us Day, an annual date the series' community marks. According to IGN, the occasion included a crossover with Ghost of Yotei and an atmosphere video. TrojGameing separately reported that Ghost of Yotei will receive a special outfit inspired by the Clicker creatures from The Last of Us. TrojGameing also reported that Naughty Dog celebrated the day by releasing a free animated background for the PlayStation 5.
Taken together, the reports point to a franchise that remains active across multiple fronts, even as the studio's next full projects stay under wraps. Al Jazeera frames the two in-development titles as early-stage efforts, meaning little concrete detail about their content, platforms or release timing is available yet.
What to watch next: whether Naughty Dog or Sony confirms either project officially, and whether the studio responds to continued fan questions about a third mainline entry.
