End soon

A Paper Mario speedrunner named JCog has now beaten the game in less than an hour via a new strategy that requires the use of an entirely different game cartridge: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time . The runner managed this feat on only his second formal attempt, though he streamed for several hours beforehand practicing the strategy.

The Last of Us 2 director Neil Druckmann says Naughty Dog has a few different projects under wraps. It's no surprise that the studio is working on something new. In fact, hot off the heels of releasing one of the most critically acclaimed video games in history with The Last of Us 2, we know Naughty Dog is already hiring for a new single-player game . We've also seen footage from the upcoming The Last of Us 2 standalone multiplayer expansion .
