We already knew this, though, right? I mean, didn't concept art leak earlier this year?

Great first reply.
Because it's perfect as it is and needs no sequel.

Well, as one who would deeply enjoy a sequel, let me be the first one to tell you to fuck off, then. lol

A sequel wouldn't diminish the quality of the first game.
Could the series end with the first game? I believe so, yes. But would a sequel hurt it? No, it would only expand on it.
Public companies are expected to grow the company and generate more profit for their shareholders every year. It's basically the core reason public companies exist.
Games that sell a lot of units are very likely to have their sequel sell a lot of units, which is much harder to guarantee with a new IP.
Thus, in an effort to guarantee shareholder returns and high profits, public companies greenlight and/or mandate sequel to high selling properties.

How can he be working on uncharted 4 and TLoU 2 at the same time?
I call BS.

First screenshot guys!
Interesting that he says he left Naughty Dog in April. They've been working on it that long, huh?
They've always got a skeleton team working on something else.

Don't pull a The Walking Dead S2 on us if real. Please focus on other characters in a different place with a different story. I know Naughty Dog can do this. The potential is there.
Holy crap, didn't know it was those sort of numbers. I can recall hearing they'd sold 3m or something.

The Lastsest of Us.
No. Fuck that. Fuck that the maximum amount. The story was wrapped up perfectly and should be left alone. Create great new characters with interesting situations. Don't just rehash and milk the original. It's creatively bankrupt and almost always ruins the original story.

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
Seems to me like he's focusing the majority of his time on Drake's model in Uncharted 4 while doing some simple prototyping for Last of Us 2. People can work on more than one project at the same time.

I was kinda hoping for another new IP out of the blue, but ah well, definitely interested in another The Last of Us as well.
I don't get what can possibly go through the minds of these employees who add unannounced games to their Linked In profiles though. The dude has to know how huge TLoU is, he has to know it's not announced and probably won't be for a while... why would he just casually leak Naughty Dog's future project like that?

Kind of surprised that if he left in April that he would have done anything on ND's next project. I remember just about a month ago that one of them tweeted that they were starting on a new project.
I also don't see how TLoU2 would get started with Bruce and Neil being on Uncharted now. I can't imagine the next one would be made without them.

Or even better, they get killed off right at the beginning by two new main characters. The drama explosion would be scrumptious!

Ugh ish. His story is best left alone. It was perfect just reading it through the notes.
Better yet make the sequel a completely different cast with different characters and story.

I really hope we get new characters. I would hate for them to ruin the ending of the first one by giving a "definitive" ending, when the ending worked so great with it being interpreted in different ways.

They have multiple teams.

Why do people have a problem with the title The Last of Us 2? I don't think the title refers to just Ellie and Joel, but the human race in general.

I hope it's a completely different story with an Ellie cameo.
Did you miss the part where it said 1 month prototype.

Whats great about The Last of Us is the universe allows so many different points of view, and by default different play styles and stories.
Who knows, we may not even have an AI partner this time around, we may be alone for most of the missions, or we may have the story start off 10 years after the infection and not 20.
So many different ways to go about it. I bet we are going to get a teaser next year around the Game Awards time period.

they've worked on multiple games simultaneously since UC2, they probably had a small amount of people working the first game right after that game came out while the majority worked on UC3, and the same can be said for TLoU and UC4
