Naughty Dog may be keeping tight-lipped about the future of its groundbreaking post-apocalyptic series, but rumors regarding The Last of Us Part 3 continue to swirl.
The latest comes from DanielRPK (via Eurogamer), and suggests that the third instalment will introduce us to "a group of scavengers surviving on the outskirts of a post-apocalyptic city" in a Victorian house that serves as their base.

The first is Lucas, who's said to be an "affable" guy but "develops a relationship with another young scavenger and will have a turn that shows his dark side." Val is the leader of the group, while Ezra wants to muscle in on her position. Then there's Mason, a former soldier who "must choose between his loyalty to Ezra and the house" after Val gets put in charge. Last up is Gracie, and all we know about her is that she's aged 18-25.
Naughty Dog is planning for Ellie to have just as much of a role in the next game as she did in The Last of Us Part 2, according to leaker ViewerAnon, as well as introducing us to new characters.
