If you're a fan of *The Last of Us* eagerly awaiting news about a potential *Part 3*, you might want to temper your expectations. Neil Druckmann, the series creator, has recently poured cold water on any hopes for a third installment. In a comprehensive interview with Variety, primarily focused on the upcoming *The Last of Us* TV series, Druckmann was asked about the possibility of *The Last of Us Part 3*. His response was quite definitive:
"I was waiting for this question," he said with a sigh. "I guess the only thing I would say is don’t bet on there being more of ‘Last of Us.’ This could be it."
The veracity of Druckmann's statement remains a topic of debate. Currently, Naughty Dog is deeply engaged in developing *Intergalactic*, a project unveiled at The Game Awards last December. Given the absence of a release date for *Intergalactic*, it's clear the studio's focus is firmly on this new venture, leaving little room for *The Last of Us Part 3* in the immediate future. Druckmann might be playing his cards close to the chest, or perhaps he's genuinely uncertain about committing to another sequel. Only time will tell if his stance will shift or if he's truly finished with the series.
For those still yearning for more *The Last of Us* content, the television adaptation offers a promising alternative. The second season is set to premiere on April 13 on Max. While Druckmann expressed uncertainty about the number of seasons needed to cover the story of *Part 2*, an HBO executive suggested in February that four seasons might be the ideal length to fully explore the narrative.
