However, the studio quickly softened the blow for its community; Neil Druckmann teased that there are still stops left on the road ahead for The Last of Us Part 3, while Naughty Dog’s creative director fueled intense speculation that Uncharted 5 is in development by posting research trip photos from a fort in Trinidad.
