The undeniable success of Naughty Dog's hit survival game "The Last of Us" clearly deserves an epic sequel to follow its footsteps. However, the release date of "The Last of Us 2" is still vague as the developer has yet to confirm a release date or share any insight with regard to the game's development.

There is also a claim that Naughty Dog has yet to work on the said sequel. There have been reports to the contrary that claim Naughty Dog is already working on the much-awaited sequel upon the completion of their other popular title "Uncharted 4". Despite this claim, fans have yet to be faced with a solid sign that The Last of Us 2" will be coming soon. 

Fans have been clamoring for the horror game they know and love dearly, and as a result, there have been rumors and observations that hint on the game's possible progress. Neil Druckmann, the character designer at Naughty Dog has some interesting entries in his Linkedin profile.

The latter declares that the artist already has his hands on the head sculptures for "The Last of Us 2" and fans consider this as progress towards the development of the much-awaited horror sequel. That being said, it is much better to continue the production of this title, especially since "The Last of Us" has gained a bucket load of popularity. Moreover, it is expected that the sequel will take three to five years to complete. 

Despite the lack of a solid confirmation from Naughty Dog themselves and even a statement from the developer that they are not yet working on the title, there are reports that suggest the game already is in the works. The voice actor for "Uncharted 4" Nathan Drake has basically confirmed the development of "The Last of Us 2."

During the Metrocon in Tampa, Florida, the voice actor answered a few queries in the event's Q&A portion. He was asked if there were any more projects on his plate from Naughty Dog and Drake replied: "For now last one I know they're doing Last of Us 2." Many fans take it as a sure sign that the sequel they have been waiting for is already baking in Naughty Dog's oven.

As a consolation, Naughty Dog is reportedly working on a remastered version of "The Last of Us" for the PlayStation 4 Pro. The upcoming version of the popular horror game will run in 4K at 40fps with the option to play it at 60fps with a display resolution limit of 1080p. Jobs & Hire will surely keep you posted so stay tuned for more updates on "The Last of Us 2" and the remastered version as well.
