Until PlayStation 6? The Last of Us: Part III could be a long way off, according to leaks

Naughty Dog is not going through its best moment, so fans expect the PlayStation studio to get back on track with The Last of Us: Part III. Several reports claim that the new installment is already in development and it is said to be more advanced than many believe.

A recent leak claims otherwise, stating that the title is still in the early stages of development. The source believes that the project will take so long to arrive that it may even be a next-gen game.

Release The Last of Us: Part III would be quite far away

A publication from an anonymous source caught the attention of gamers quite a bit, as it talks about the various projects that Naughty Dog would have on their hands. The leaker mentions The Last of Us: Part III, a title that is already in development, according to various reports.

Although sources claim that its development is more advanced than we think, the most recent leak says that the project is still in pre-production. What does this mean? That Naughty Dog would still be planning key elements such as conceptualization, design, prototypes and other elements of the initial development phase.

The source is not at all optimistic about the game's release, as he assures that its debut is so far away that it will possibly arrive until PlayStation 6. Thus, it would not be ready for Sony's current console, but its release on PlayStation 5 is not ruled out.

Now, it is very important to emphasize that the leak was published in 4Chan and other forums. So the report is not backed by anyone and is simply a rumor. Despite this, the informant also talks about the bad state of the new multiplayer of the saga and The Last of Us Part II: Remastered, rumored project of which new clues have just emerged.
