For those who’re a The Last of Us fan anxiously hoping for phrase that Naughty Canine is engaged on a Part 3 online game, I’ve acquired some unhealthy information for you. Sequence creator Neil Druckmann has put a actual damper at this time on any hopes that a Part 3 is within the works…or ever will probably be.
Speaking to Variety, Druckmann gave a prolonged interview at this time largely centered round The Last of Us TV sequence. Nonetheless, 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 used to be ready for this query,” he stated, sighing. “I assume the one factor I might say is don’t wager on there being extra of ‘Last of Us.’ This might be it.”
After all, the query stays as to if you happen to consider Druckmann or not. Naughty Canine is at the moment arduous at work on Intergalactic, which was introduced at The Recreation Awards final December and is probably going a number of years away from completion given its lack of any type of launch window. With the studio’s pursuits firmly in house proper now, there isn’t any method the workforce has time for The Last of Us Part 3 anytime quickly. It is completely attainable Druckmann is being coy right here, or just that he is not prepared to commit but. The passage of time might change this response…or, he might simply be completed with it. Who can say!
However if you happen to’re craving extra of The Last of Us, there’s nonetheless the tv sequence, with the second season airing on April 13 on Max. And whereas Druckmann says within the interview he is not positive what number of seasons it can take to wrap up the story of Part 2, an HBO govt hinted in February that it is trying like 4 whole seasons would be the candy spot.
