Neil Druckmann: No Promises on The Last of Us Part 3

If you're a fan of *The Last of Us* eagerly awaiting news on a potential *Part 3* video game, prepare yourself for some disappointing news. Series creator Neil Druckmann has significantly dampened any hopes of a *The Last of Us Part 3* in a recent interview with Variety, which primarily focused on the upcoming TV series adaptation. However, when questioned about the future of the game series, Druckmann provided a clear and disheartening response:

"I was waiting for this question," he said with a sigh. "I guess the only thing I would say is don’t bet on there being more of 'Last of Us.' This could be it."

The authenticity of Druckmann's statement remains open to interpretation. Currently, Naughty Dog is deeply engaged in developing *Intergalactic*, announced at last December's The Game Awards. Given the absence of any release window, *Intergalactic* is likely years away from completion. With the studio's focus shifted to space-themed projects, the likelihood of *The Last of Us Part 3* being developed anytime soon seems slim. Druckmann might be playing it close to the vest, or perhaps he genuinely isn't ready to commit. Only time will tell if his stance changes or if he's truly finished with the series.

For fans still yearning for more *The Last of Us* content, there's the television series to look forward to. The second season is set to premiere on April 13 on Max. While Druckmann remains uncertain about how many seasons will be needed to complete the story of *Part 2*, an HBO executive hinted in February that four seasons might be the ideal number to fully adapt the narrative.
