Will The Last of Us Part 3 be the last of the franchise?

This weekend, fans of the franchise The Last of Us The documentary was able to find its creators in front of the camera Grounded 2: Making the Last of Us Part 2. The latter withdrew the game’s design, which shook the video game industry. Neil Druckman, director of the title, took the opportunity to make some juicy revelations for the rest of the license.

At the end of the documentary, he states: There is a concept for potential The Last of Us Part III. This statement comes as a surprise to everyone as the game has not been officially announced yet. If there have been rumors about its possible development for several years, the naughty dog ​​has never confirmed or denied anything. Today, Neil Druckman explains:

“I wondered if anyone had an idea. And for years I couldn’t come to terms with this concept. But recently things have changed. I don’t have a story yet, but I have this idea that, for me, as exciting as (The Last of Us Part I) is, as exciting as (The Last of Us Part II), which is one thing in itself. In its own right, but which is part of the continuum of the two (games). So I think there’s probably one more chapter to this story“

We cannot say that the players did not ask for it. The third and final part of Eli’s harrowing story is not luxurious, especially given its outcome The Last of Us Part II.

It should also be noted that the game is now at the center of a series production by HBO. To continue this amazing adventure, we need stories to tell. The second installment will bring at least two seasons to the series, but making more video game titles will be an opportunity to add an extra season or two.

Last The Last of Us? Nothing is less certain

There are still limits to what studios want to do. slogan “One more chapter“Can only remind us”One more thing” from Apple, which naturally means that if there is a third chapter, it will be the last… at least for the main arc of the franchise. For the moment, the developers are not completely talking about the spin-off and we know that the multiplayer game was recently canceled. However, the idea of ​​having shorter games focusing on other characters seems more and more appealing to us. And this may fit with the fact that Neil Druckman states that the finale is about “this story”, which does not exclude potentially others to come.
