Neil Druckmann, co-president of Naughty Dog, said in an interview that a third The Last of Us game isn’t a certainty. It’s hard to believe.
The Last of Us saga has never been so popular. After two landmark video games, it has become a TV series that has absolutely won all the votes since the first episode aired in mid-January. Naturally, this successful adaptation will encourage more people to take an interest in the original work. What revive Neil Druckmann, co-president of Naughty Dog, about a possible third opus.
In an interview published by BuzzFeed on January 25, Neil Druckmann maintained the mystery around The Last of Us Part III. He rocks : ” Our approach is the same as for Part II, which is that if we find a compelling story with a universal message and a declaration of love — as we did for 1 and 2 — then we will tell that story. If not, we have a very solid ending with Part II, and that will be the conclusion. »
No The Last of Us Part III? yeah
Neil Druckmann is undoubtedly communicating by making us believe that, perhaps, The Last of Us Part III will never come out. It would be very surprising to see Naughty Dog let go, when there are still so many stories to tell. It is very hard to imagine this post-apocalyptic universe closing up so soon. The interested party simply does not want to talk about it today because it is not the right time – which must as a bonus be agreed with Sony, publisher of the saga. In the past, Neil Druckmann has already lied so as not to spoil the surprise. For example, he had stated that Ellie would be the only playable character in The Last of Us Part II.
” I know a lot of people have questions about The Last of Us Part III, and whether or not it will exist. All I can say is that, at Naughty Dog, we are privileged that our publisher is Sony (…). They support us every step of the way to follow our passions — that means success doesn’t drive pressure to make a sequel. For us, Uncharted 4 was an incredible success — one of our best sellers — and we were able to turn the page adds Neil Druckmann. He still implies that the ball would be totally in Naughty Dog’s court.
One thing is certain: the next The Last of Us video game will be a multiplayer experience — “ You will be able to enter the world of The Last of Us with a friend and experience the tension and brutality of this world”. It will take us to another city, never before explored — “This will be another chapter in The Last of Us universe. »
Conversely, actress Bella Ramsey, who plays Ellie in the series, was less evasive about the future of the series in the columns of the BBC: “ If people keep watching, I think a second season is more than likely.. Here, it is success that will condition the future of the project.
