For fans eagerly awaiting news of The Last of Us Part 3, renowned series creator Neil Druckmann has delivered a disheartening update. In a recent interview with Variety, primarily focused on the TV series, Druckmann effectively dashed hopes of a third installment. When questioned about the possibility, he sighed and stated, "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.”
While Druckmann's statement is definitive, interpretations vary. Naughty Dog is currently engrossed in the development of *Intergalactic*, announced at The Game Awards 2022, with no release date in sight. This suggests the studio's resources are fully committed elsewhere, making *The Last of Us Part 3* unlikely in the near future. However, Druckmann's response could be strategic ambiguity, a refusal to commit, or simply a reflection of his current feelings. Time, of course, will tell.For those still craving more Last of Us experiences, the second season of the HBO Max series premieres April 13th. Although Druckmann remains uncertain about the total number of seasons, an HBO executive suggested four seasons might encompass the story of Part 2.
