In a recent interview with Variety, the producer of The Last of Us franchise, Neil Druckmann, hinted at the series’ end. The statement comes a month before The Last of Us season 2 is set to premiere on April 13.
When asked about the possibility of The Last of Us Part III, Druckmann 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.”
In the past, he has stated that he has a concept for “one more chapter” to the franchise, which would likely be The Last of Us Part III. However, it’s unlikely to come anytime soon, due to development of Naughty Dog’s next game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.
Here’s a description of Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet:
The Heretic Prophet is the newest franchise in development for the PlayStation 5 console from Naughty Dog, the studio behind acclaimed series like The Last of Us and UNCHARTED. Set thousands of years in the future, Intergalactic puts players into the role of Jordan A. Mun, a dangerous bounty hunter who ends up stranded on Sempiria – a distant planet whose communication with the outside universe went dark hundreds of years ago. Jordan will have to use all her skills and wits if she hopes to be the first person in over 600 years to leave its orbit.
Lastly, the first season of The Last of Us TV show is available now on Max. The series’ second season will air on April 13.
