The Last of Us 2’s director still isn’t commenting on whether a sequel is of interest to the developer.
Neil Druckmann recently spoke toEntertainment Weeklyshortly afterThe Last of Us 2 Remasteredwas revealed earlier this month. When asked about whether The Last of Us 3 might ever be happening atNaughty Dog, the co-president wouldn’t directly address the possibility.
“The Last of Us is obviously a world I love deeply and know our studio and fans do as well, but I have no comment at this moment on the series' future beyond our focus on The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered,” Druckmann told the outlet. However, Druckmann did confirm that Naughty Dog has “other projects in the works.”
There have been several long-standing rumors surrounding Naughty Dog’s future over the past year. One fairlyconsistent rumor is that The Last of Us 3 is happening, and will feature Ellie returning for another outing as the game’s protagonist. Another rumor claims that Naughty Dog is working on a brand new IP, different to both The Last of Us and Uncharted.
For what it’s worth, Druckmann stated earlier this year in an interview that he thought there was"more story to tell" in The Last of Us’s world. That’s definitely not confirmation of a third game happening, but it certainly didn’t do anything to dispel the rumors surrounding a potential third game.
Druckmann isn’t the only Naughty Dog personnel to have commented on a third game.Tommy actor Jeffrey Pierce believes “there’s a lot of potential"for The Last of Us 3, but again, this isn’t confirmation of the game being in development, just that developers believe there’s material to work with.
