Neil Druckmann Says 'Don't Bet on' There Being a The Last of Us Part 3

For those eagerly awaiting news of The Last of Us Part 3, renowned series creator Neil Druckmann has delivered a sobering update. In a recent interview with Variety, primarily focused on the TV series, Druckmann effectively dashed hopes of a third installment. When asked 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 words carry significant weight, interpretations vary. Naughty Dog is currently engrossed in developing *Intergalactic*, unveiled at The Game Awards 2022, a project likely years from release. This leaves little room for *The Last of Us Part 3* in the foreseeable future. However, Druckmann's statement might be strategic ambiguity, a reluctance to commit, or simply a reflection of his current intentions. Time, of course, will tell.

For fans craving more Last of Us experiences, the TV series remains a compelling alternative. Season two premieres April 13th on Max. Although Druckmann remains uncertain about the series' total length, an HBO executive suggested a four-season arc.
