The Last of Us boss has bad news for fans counting on a Part 3

The Last of Us Part 3 might never arrive, or so one could gather from game director Neil Druckmann’s recent comments. The Naughty Dog head told fans “this could be it,” implying that the iconic franchise might have ended for good with the second installation.

In a March 5 interview for Variety, Neil Druckmann spoke about the future of The Last of Us video games, seeing as the show seems to be doing well with a second season slated for April. With a dose of reluctance, Druckmann said fans should not “bet on there being more of The Last of Us.” As “this could be it,” according to Druckmann, it now seems highly likely that the iconic series won’t get a new installation. But the director said in February of last year that he had came up with a concept for a third Last of Us game that is “as exciting as” the first two. If it never happened, though, Part 2 would be “a fine ending point.”
