Neil Druckmann on Last of Us Part 3 Possibility: 'I Think There's More Story to Tell'

ign.com:

While The Last of Us fans are currently setting their sights on the upcoming HBO show and multiplayer title, Naughty Dog's Neil Druckmann isn't ruling out the possibility for The Last of Us Part 3.

Speaking to THR ahead of The Last of Us show's premiere later this month, Druckmann couldn't reveal if Part 3 is in the works at Naughty Dog, but said, “I think there’s more story to tell.”

This is the first we've heard of a potential follow-up to 2020's The Last of Us Part 2 since April 2021, when Druckmann said he and Part 2 co-writer Halley Gross have written an outline for a story that "we're not making – but I hope one day can see the light of day – that explores a little bit what happens after this game. We’ll see.”

Naughty Dog also shared new concept art for the upcoming multiplayer game today. Druckmann promised that more details on The Last of Us multiplayer title will come this year, which marks the 10th anniversary of the original game's release in 2013.

In addition to more information about the multiplayer title, Naughty Dog's anniversary plans include the Last of Us TV show airing on January 15 on HBO and behind-the-scenes looks at the original game for PlayStation 3 and the Part 1 remake for PlayStation 5.
