The Last of Us is one of the most popular franchises in gaming, and despite no official announcement about a third game, there are already many rumors about it. According to one Last of Us 3 leak, the unannounced game will focus on a completely new group of survivors, and the team will be based in an old Victorian house on the outskirts of a destroyed city. The characters will be named Lucas, Val, Ezra, Mason, and Gracie, and will reportedly enter into conflict among them during the storyline. Another leaker claimed that Ellie will return as an important character in the game, but did not confirm her as a playable character. As usual, it’s always important to take rumors with a grain of salt, and wait for official announcements.
