An early report on Bloomberg claimed last year that a remake of 2013 action-adventure game The Last of Us is in works for PlayStation 5 consoles while there is still no sign for a long-delayed multiplayer mode for The Last of Us Part II.
According to an industry insider, rumored The Last of Us Remake for PS5 may release this year. Moreover, a much-anticipated The Last of Us 2 multiplayer component is also launching soon along with a Director's Cut edition for TLoU2.
A recent report by known leaker Tom Henderson reveals that TLoU Remake is almost complete and may release in second half of 2022. He also claims that multiplayer mode for The Last of Us sequel will also be ready for release by then.
Sony recently showed up at CES 2022 for a conference this week and Naughty Dog co-president Neil Druckmann stated that they are working on a number of projects at present and are "dying to share" more information with fans soon.
Tom Henderson recently shares a brief footage, teasing upcoming The Last of Us Remake for PS5 on Twitter.
With TLOU2 MP and TLOU 2 directors cut - I've heard they are coming too - But I don't know exactly when/how.

Them all releasing together could be a good compromise if GOW got delayed to Q1 2023 - But that's just speculation on my end for the moment.
Naughty Dog originally launched The Last of Us with a multiplayer mode, which was online until servers were shutdown in 2019. The Last of Us 2 only launched as a single-player campaign and a multiplayer mode remains pending till date.
Since there is no official confirmation from Naughty Dog just yet, it would be wise to take these reports with a grain of salt. If sources are accurate, Sony may end up announcing these projects in a future State of Play broadcast in summer.
Addressing fan-concerns, Naughty Dog assures during Outbreak Day 2021 of working on TLoU2 multiplayer and will reveal "when it's ready". However, they have not shared whether they are also working on any brand-new games or not.
Neil Druckmann previously claimed that The Last of Us Part III story outline is already complete and could even be in early development. The Last of Us Remake may lay a new foundation for things to come and retcon a few things as well.
