Don’t bet on The Last of Us Part 3 happening, says Naughty Dog studio head
Naughty Dog studio head Neil Druckmann has mentioned not to bet on The Last of Us Part 3 happening during an interview published on Variety Wednesday. He said "this could be it" for the series as of this point. This might be the end of The Last of Us As The Last of Us Season 2 on HBO is upon us next month, Druckmann sat down with Variety to speak on the franchise. The prospect of a third game came about during the interview. Druckmann said, “I guess the only thing I would say is don’t bet on there being more of ‘Last of Us.’ This could be it.” Image via PlayStation It sounds like Druckmann already had an answer to this question in the back of his mind as he was expecting it, according to the article. Despite a potential fan outcry, Naughty Dog is currently working on Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, a new sci-fi RPG, which has the main character Jordan stranded on a mysterious planet called Sempiria. Naughty Dog has a record of leaving its past franchises behind to work on the next new thing. Both Crash Bandicoot and Jak & Daxter haven't been revisited by Naughty Dog since the PS1 and PS2 days. The last Uncharted game was 2017's The Lost Legacy, which featured Chloe and Nadine as the protagonists. The Last of Us was going to have a multiplayer-only project, which sounded ambitious. However, it was canceled in December 2023. "To release and support The Last of Us Online we’d have to put all our studio resources behind supporting post-launch content for years to come, severely impacting development on future single-player games," said Naughty Dog in an official statement. It would be strange to not have The Last of Us Part 3 However, it would be odd to never have another The Last of Us game release. It was reported by Game Developer that the series has sold over 37 million copies worldwide, as of December 2022. That number has likely climbed to greater heights since that official data was released. Both entries have also received remastered PS5 versions that received critical acclaim. The PS5 version of The Last of Us Part 1 has a 91 Metacritic score. Hopefully, The Last of Us Part 3 is reconsidered after Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet releases.
