'The Last of Us 2' Confirmed Release Date Teased by Naughty Dog Employee in Recent Interview?

Fans continue to wait for further details about the rumored "The Last of Us 2" confirmed release date. Naughty Dog has been pretty straightforward in saying in previous reports that the sequel is not in development, but many believe that this is just Neil Druckmann and his team's way of keeping eager fans at bay.

Several theories about "The Last of Us 2" confirmed release date have circulated online with many focusing their attention on the original game's protagonists Joel and Ellie. While a lot of fans are clamoring for their return, some are adamant to see the male lead return.

As for Naughty Dog, they remain to keep mum about "The Last of Us 2," with Druckmann even claiming that they're not in any way engaged in any TLOU 2 work as of the moment. Previous reports noted that the developers could likely start with the sequel after they're done with "Uncharted 4" work.

However, a new report suggests that Naughty Dog might have accidentally confirmed "The Last of Us 2" release date in a recent interview. According to Frag Hero, in a live stream featuring Naughty Dog's Josh Scherr, Eric Monacelli and Eric Baldwin, Scherr might have given a hint about the sequel's fate. The report noted that he referred to "The Last of Us" as the first "Last of Us" game, somehow suggesting that there is a second game.

As with any rumor, fans are expected to take this interview with a grain of salt. Until Naughty Dog specifically and clearly confirms "The Last of Us 2" release date, eager fans should not believe everything they read on the web.

Apart from "The Last of Us 2" release date, fans are also excited to hear about the rumored "The Last of Us" movie. Previous reports have suggested that the video game will be released after the movie hits the big screens.
