The last of us 2: development at Naughty dog?

[blaaislaai]

This is awesome news

Naughty Dog is allegedly working on The Last of Us 2, despite the fact that the first game remains ongoing, as well as the recent announcement of Uncharted for PS4. Releasing in 2015, according to Omelete, The Last of Us 2 is already in production for PlayStation 4.

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."

Yes man! What awesome "maybe" news! It id a little soon after the first one, but im sure they want to give us the Next Gen awesomeness Last of us! And why would they keep the story going with DLC if they can get us to buy a whole new game?

A game as successful as the Last of us was bound o get a sequel though...

Not too unrealistic if they continue their Uncharted pattern of releasing a new sequel every 2nd year (a pattern which obviously ended with Uncharted 3). Definitely keen to see more of the Last of Us. I know Joel & Ellie's story really doesn't need any continuation but I would be really gutted if they had completely new characters in the sequel.
