Keen-eyed reporters have spotted a hint towards a sequel Naughty Dog’s critically acclaimed The Last of Us , according to the resumé of a former Naughty Dog employee.
The employee in question, Michael Knowland, was the developer’s lead character artist before moving to Avalanche Studios to work on Just Cause 3 as senior character artist.
While the relevant information has since been removed from Knowland’s LinkedIn profile, GameSpot reports that his listing for The Last of Us 2 mentioned a month’s work of “prototyping head sculpts” earlier on this year–back in April.
In a Reddit AMA that was posted some time ago, The Last of Us’ creative director, Neil Druckmann, revealed that the odds of there being a sequel to the game were “50 / 50.”
Ashley Johnson, the voice behind the character Ellie, has already expressed interest in returning in a sequel to The Last of Us .
