Well, until now as a very subtle tease has yet again brought the release speculations in the limelight. 

Naughty Dog is allegedly working on a single-player title and fans already had a lot of reasons to believe it’s none other than The Last of Us III. However, there hasn’t been any official confirmation on the rumor, with this latest hint, fans are more than convinced of their theory. Moreover, aligning the recent tease with the series’ director’s previous statements, it’s all starting to make sense.

Woodward had posted a picture of herself working in a studio. What intrigued the TLOU fans was the caption. “Top secret video game”, the caption read. Of course, the caption was enough to ignite a fire of trends around the Naughty Dog giant. 

But the series of rumors do not just end here. Following the wild trends, a Reddit user almost made the biggest revelation on the third edition to date. The user allegedly revealed every update on the game along with insights into the narrative and features. The leaker claimed to have collected all the information through a locked Patreon.
