If you're a The Last of Us fan anxiously hoping for phrase that Naughty Dog is engaged on a Part 3 video game, I've obtained some unhealthy information for you. Series creator Neil Druckmann has put a actual damper in the present day on any hopes that a Part 3 is within the works…or ever will likely be.
Speaking to Variety, Druckmann gave a prolonged interview in the present day largely centered round The Last of Us TV collection. However, on the finish, the outlet requested him in regards to the prospect of The Last of Us Part 3. Druckmann responded with fairly the shut-down:
“I was waiting for this question,” he stated, sighing. “I guess the only thing I would say is don’t bet on there being more of ‘Last of Us.’ This could be it.”
Of course, the query stays as to when you imagine Druckmann or not. Naughty Dog is currently hard at work on Intergalactic, which was introduced at The Game Awards final December and is probably going a number of years away from completion given its lack of any variety of release window. With the studio's pursuits firmly in space proper now, there's no means the staff has time for The Last of Us Part 3 anytime quickly. It's completely potential Druckmann is being coy right here, or just that he isn't prepared to commit but. The passage of time may change this response…or, he may simply be performed with it. Who can say!
But when you're craving more of The Last of Us, there's nonetheless the tv collection, (*3*). And whereas Druckmann says within the interview he isn't sure how many seasons it’s going to take to wrap up the story of Part 2, an HBO executive hinted in February that it's wanting like 4 complete seasons would be the candy spot.
