In recent years, anticipation for a The Last of Us sequel has been rampant online. Despite mixed reactions to the second game, many hoped Naughty Dog would address criticisms in a potential Part III or explore the universe through a spin-off. However, Neil Druckmann recently offered a surprising statement.
In a joint interview with screenwriter Craig Mazin, Druckmann discussed the game adaptation and the games themselves. He revealed his struggles following the sequel's release during the COVID-19 pandemic. Feeling unwell and isolated, he found himself overwhelmed by online feedback, leading to self-doubt and questioning the quality of his work.
When asked about The Last of Us Part III, Druckmann acknowledged the question's inevitability but stated that fans shouldn't expect another entry in the main series. He hinted that the story might be concluded.
