The Last of Us Part 2 was one of the most acclaimed games in recent years. It ended on a bittersweet note, leaving fans wondering if there would be a sequel, and that’s exactly the topic its director just addressed.
Neil Druckmann, director of Naughty Dog, has finally confirmed that he has a concept for The Last of Us Part 3, and that it could be the final chapter of the saga. Druckmann has just made this important revelation that many fans have been eagerly awaiting in the documentary Grounded II: The Making of The Last of Us Part II, broadcast on YouTube and which will be included in The Last of Us Part 2.
In this documentary, he explains that he has been thinking about a third game for years, but only recently came up with a concept that excited him. He said the concept was as compelling as the first and second games, and had a throughline for all three games. He also clarified that he didn’t have a story yet, but thought there would probably be an additional chapter to this story.

Naughty Dog is working well on The Last of Us Part 3
Druckmann also clarified thathe was not referring to a previous interview he gave in 2021, where he said that Naughty Dog had the outlines of a third game. He clarified that he was actually talking about a secondary story centered on Tommy, Joel’s brother, who had a tragic arc in The Last of Us Part 2.
He clarified that this secondary story was never the subject of a full-fledged title and that it was put aside due to other priorities at Naughty Dog. He added that he still hoped this side story would see the light of day one day, but he didn’t know if it would be a game or a series.
