If you're a fan of *The Last of Us* eagerly awaiting news on a potential *Part 3* video game, brace yourself for some disappointing news. Neil Druckmann, the series creator, has significantly dampened hopes of a *The Last of Us Part 3* in a recent interview with Variety. The conversation primarily focused on the upcoming *The Last of Us* TV series, but Druckmann's comments on the game's future were clear and disheartening.
When asked about the possibility of *The Last of Us Part 3*, Druckmann responded with a sigh, stating, "I was waiting for this question. I guess the only thing I would say is don’t bet on there being more of ‘Last of Us.’ This could be it." This statement has left fans wondering about the future of the beloved franchise.
The credibility of Druckmann's statement is up for debate. Currently, Naughty Dog is deeply engaged in developing *Intergalactic*, announced at The Game Awards last December. With no release window in sight, it's clear that the studio's focus is on this new project, leaving little room for *The Last of Us Part 3* in the near future. Druckmann might be playing it safe or simply not ready to commit to another installment. Only time will tell if his stance changes or if he's truly finished with the series.
For those still hungry for more *The Last of Us*, the television series offers a glimmer of hope. The second season is set to premiere on April 13 on Max. While Druckmann remains uncertain about the number of seasons needed to complete the story of *Part 2*, an HBO executive suggested in February that four seasons might be the ideal length to fully explore the narrative.
