In a recent interview with Neil Druckmann, the creator of The Last of Us, published by Variety. In it, he seemed unsure about the possibility of The Last of Us Part 3 ever being made.
The interview mainly focused on the upcoming Season 2 of the The Last of Us TV series, but there was a brief mention of the video game series. Druckmann’s response about a third game was vague and has left fans with a lot of questions. He may have been trying to keep the project a secret, or maybe it was just a joke, but it does raise doubts about the future of the series.
Neil Druckmann’s Surprising Response About The Last of Us Part 3
When asked about the possibility of The Last of Us Part 3, Druckmann replied: “I was waiting for this question,” and after a pause, he added, “I guess the only thing I would say is don’t bet on there being more of ‘Last of Us.’ This could be it.” This response suggests that a third game might not happen at all, even though there was no official announcement about it. In fact, just a year ago, Druckmann had said that a sequel seemed “likely.”
In the meantime, the multiplayer project for The Last of Us was canceled, which may have affected the direction of the franchise. After that, Druckmann introduced a new project, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, which is set to be the next major title from Naughty Dog.
It’s possible that the long wait for a third The Last of Us game, if it were to happen after the release of the new title, is making Druckmann hesitant to make any strong statements. Fans will have to wait for more details.
