Will we ever get the last of us: part III? The Naughty Dog games franchise is back in the news lately thanks in part to the popular HBO program starring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey, which leads to questions about a possible continuation of the video game series
No new tickets have been announced, but the developers of mischievous dogs over the years have thrown clues and have commented on the return to the post-apocalyptic world on numerous occasions. Without a doubt, the last of us: Part III is not confirmed, and may never happen. But there is a possibility, so with that in mind, we are rounding everything we have heard about a new last game of us.
The last of us: Part III could happen “if the stars align”
The most recent comments on The Last of Us: Part III come from Naughmann’s Neil Druzen Dog, who wrote and directed the first two games. During a promotional interview for the last season 2 of the United States, Druckmann inevitably asked about a third game. He said he is not discarding it, but he does not confirm it either.
“Back in Naughty Dog, we are now working in Intergalactic: the heretic prophet, which is something we have been working on for many years. That is taking all our time,” he said. “I am treating these projects as if it were the last thing I will work on. So my assumption is that there will be no more [The Last of Us games]. If the stars align and everything enters their place, who knows? “
Druckmann continued to say that the story in the first, the last of us, was structured to have a “final final” because he did not know if he could make a sequel. But the game was a great success and Druckmann returned to us: Part II. He said that the mischievous no have To make the sequel because the owner of a naughty dog Sony trusts the company enough to make their own decisions.
“But we had an idea [for The Last of Us: Part II] We are passionate about. It was a good idea to spend years in him. We work in history and feel: ‘Ok, that story has completed the circle. The final end to this time in time, ‘”he said.
“Probably one more chapter”
At the beginning of 2024, Druckmann said in a manufacturing documentary for the last of us: part II that thought had “probably one more chapter for this story.”
“I’ve been thinking, there is a concept there [for The Last of Us III]? For now, I have not been able to find that concept. But recently that has changed. I don’t have a story. But I have that concept that is, for me, as exciting as 1, as exciting as 2, “he said.” As your own thing, and yet it has this line for the three. Therefore, it seems that there is probably another chapter in this story. “
The documentary was apparently filmed some time ago. It is an official production carried out in association with Naughty Dog. As such, presumably includes only the information that was considered acceptable to publicly share, including Druckmann’s comments about a new potential game of the last game of us. While Druckmann said he had a concept for the last of us: part III, that is not close to what it means that it is a real game that the mischievous dog would really develop.
Given the great success and critical renown of video games and the television series, it would be dedicated to the powers that are desired to see the last franchise of us continue, if it is not for another reason than to earn more money. However, that logic could also have applied to the Naughty Dog UNCharted series, which ended almost a decade ago with Uncharted 4 and has not shown signs of returning in the short term or never. As Druckmann has said, Naughty Dog is in the enviable position of being allowed by Sony to decide his future projects, and it could be that the study simply wants to leave Uncharted and the last of us to do new things.
The last of us: Part II is a “good end point”
If Naughty Dog never makes a third entry into the series, Druckmann said that the last of us: part II is a “good end point.”
“I had the last bite of the apple. The story is made. The best thing to work at Naughty Dog is that we don’t have to [make The Last of Us III]. We would love another last of us, “he said, warning, however, that if the team wants to do something else, they will do something else.
“It is a very privileged position to be,” he said.
Also in the interview, Druckmann clarified his comments from 2021 when he suggested that he already had a scheme for the last of us III. That is not true, he said. What he meant at that time was a scheme for a story centered on the character Tommy.
“We have written a story that takes place after the last of us 2. Excellent to Tommy. And I hope we can do it one day,” said Druckmann, adding that this was never conceived as a complete game, but a smaller and more focused story.
Naughty Dog did not make this game of Tommy because the study had “higher priorities” at that time, including the improvement of the company’s development pipe and address the company’s work/life balance problems that reached the headlines.
How to invoice the television program in
The last season 2 of the United States is the beginning of the HBO adaptation of The Last of Us: Part II, but the showrunners and writers Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin have maintained that it will take at least two seasons tell the whole story of the game. With the last of us already renewed for a third season, that tracks. To the last of us will not be: part III at this time, that is leading many to wonder how it could be a possible fourth season of the last of us. But Mazin has no intention of meeting a problem style problem in which television adaptation goes beyond the events of the source material.
“I’m not going to spend the game. I will only say that. So, if people are thinking, ‘Oh, these guys are planning the old cash training thing …’ ‘” Mazin told The Hollywood Reporter.
“Basically, I am putting a decade of my life that decreases rapidly to tell this story. The program is very difficult to do. It has to have an end. So I’m not going to happen. Who knows me, there can be a volley and egg? Two, then we will do that.”
Naughty Dog has two games for a player in process
In 2023, after Naughty Dog canceled the last of us online, the studio said he had at least two games for a developing player. One has revealed that it is intergalactic: the prophet heretic, but the other is still a mystery. Many people assume that it is the last of us: Part III. The journalist Daniel Richtman said in July 2023 that the last of us: Part III was in production.
When will the last of us be launched: Part III?
The last of us: part III has not been announced, so it is not known when it could be launched. If Naughty Dog decides to return to the series, it is likely not to be soon, since Naughty Dog’s new IP, Intergalactic: the heretic prophet, apparently will not reach up to 2027 as soon as possible. A third last game of us would probably come later, if so.
The last of us: the platforms of part III
If Naughty Dog decides to do the latter: Part III, would inevitably appear on a PlayStation platform. Naughty Dog has not launched new games for PS5, and if the intergalactic will not reach up to 2027 or later, he raises the question about whether the last of us: part III would be launched in the rumored PlayStation 6.
Sony, owner of Naughty Dog, has begun to bring more of his first -part games to the PC, but generally not in the game launch for a player.
The Last of Us: Part III Story, Settend and characters
[SPOILERS FOR THE LAST OF US: PART II FOLLOW]
The last of us: Part II ends with Ellie and Abby having your long -awaited confrontation. Ellie has the opportunity to kill Abby, but finally decides to avoid her life after reflecting on what her father figure, Joel, could have wanted. Both Ellie and Abby survive, thus presenting an opportunity to continue telling their story in a third game, but that is just a pure speculation.
There is no word at this time with respect to what the story could be for a new game of us. There is also the possibility of a new game of the last of us that focuses on a different group of characters.
Who is developing the last of us: Part III?
Naughty Dog created the last series of the United States and would undoubtedly be the team to develop a third game, if it really is done. While everyone would expect Naughty Dog, and Druckmann, to supervise a new entry, the previous comments of the study suggest that it might not be the only possibility. After all, when Naughty Dog said he finished making unknown games, he said he would consider giving his blessing to a different study to come to uncharted 5.
