No release date forThe Last of Usmultiplayer game has been announced, but one has to imagine that it’s the next game that will be released by Naughty Dog.

A completely different game is rumored to be in development at Naughty Dog as well. Rumors have persisted thatNaughty Dog is making sci-fi or steampunk game calledStray’s Cross.
