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

If you're a fan of *The Last of Us* eagerly awaiting news about a potential *Part 3* from Naughty Dog, you might want to brace yourself for disappointment. Series creator Neil Druckmann has recently doused hopes of a *Part 3* in a candid interview with Variety, which primarily focused on the *The Last of Us* TV series. When the topic shifted to the possibility of a *Part 3*, Druckmann's response was unequivocal:

"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 sincerity of Druckmann's statement leaves fans in a quandary. Currently, Naughty Dog is deeply engaged with *Intergalactic*, announced at The Game Awards last December. With no release window yet, it's clear that the studio's focus is elsewhere, likely ruling out any immediate development of *The Last of Us Part 3*. Druckmann might be playing his cards close to the chest, or perhaps he genuinely feels the story has reached its conclusion. Only time will tell if his stance will shift.

For those still hungry for more of *The Last of Us*, the television series offers solace. Season two is set to premiere on April 13 on Max. While Druckmann remains uncertain about how many seasons it will take to cover the story of *Part 2*, an HBO executive suggested in February that four seasons might be the ideal number to fully explore the narrative.
