If you're a fan of *The Last of Us* eagerly awaiting news on a potential Part 3 video game, Neil Druckmann, the series creator, has unfortunately thrown cold water on those hopes. In a recent interview with Variety primarily focused on the upcoming *The Last of Us* TV series, Druckmann addressed the possibility of a Part 3 with a definitive statement:
"I was waiting for this question," he sighed. "I guess the only thing I would say is don’t bet on there being more of ‘Last of Us.’ This could be it."
This statement leaves fans wondering whether to take Druckmann at his word. Currently, Naughty Dog is deeply engaged with their new project, *Intergalactic*, announced at The Game Awards last December. With no release window in sight, it's clear that the studio's focus is elsewhere, particularly in the realm of space exploration. This commitment suggests that *The Last of Us Part 3* is not on the immediate horizon. Druckmann might be keeping his cards close to the chest, or he might genuinely be signaling the end of the line for the series. Only time will tell if his stance changes.
For those still hungry for more *The Last of Us*, the television adaptation offers a glimmer of hope. The second season is set to premiere on April 13 on Max. While Druckmann remains uncertain about how many seasons will be needed to fully adapt Part 2, an HBO executive hinted in February that four seasons might be the ideal number to complete the story.
