Naughty Dog boss Neil Druckmann has cast doubt on the possibility of third The Last of Us game, telling fans, "Don't bet on there being more."
Fans have been dreaming of a potential third entry in the series ever since the release of The Last of Us Part 2 in 2020. And while Naughty Dog and Sony have managed to remaster both the original The Last of Us (for a second time) and The Last of Us Part 2 since then, there's been no concrete word of a third series instalment.
Which isn't to say Naughty Dog has been entirely quiet on the matter. Back in 2021, Druckmann confirmed he'd penned a story outline for a potential The Last of Us Part 3 and admitted there'd been "quite a bit" discussion about a sequel. He addressed a possible third series entry again in 2023 - while Naughty Dog's now-canned The Last of Us multiplayer game was still in the works - saying he was open to it, but only if the team could come up with a "compelling story".
