Neil Druckmann learns the art, but doesn’t put it aside (3): the long-awaited third chapter of The Last of Us seems to be in development
At the end of Grounded 2: Making The Last of Us Part 2the master builder of Naughty Dog Neil Druckmann (and his “iconic hammer”) revealed that the wait Part 3 of the series is in development. Or rather: he only talked about having a “concept” in mind, but apparently “there is probably another chapter in this story.” THE themes throughout the post-apocalyptic IP there was no shortage of: “unconditional love between parents and children” for the former and “the search for justice at any cost” in the latter. “There is a well-defined concept”, tells Druckmann,” which spans the first two games. If we can do it again, it’s a good ending. Last bite of the apple, the story is over.” Put that way, it would seem the exact opposite, but dear old Neil has left a glimmer of hope.
The Last of Us: so is part 3 in development or not?
Yes, a part 3 it would seem for real be in development: “The great thing about working at Naughty Dog is that we don’t really work, if we said ‘We want another Last of Us’ but someone else had a passion for something different, we would support it.” Druckmann never takes “this privileged position” for granted, but he is considering how to take the series forward. “Do we have a concept? Because I’ve been looking for it for years, and finally I’m here: I don’t have a story, but I found something that was as intriguing as the first two chapters with the same common thread. There is probably another chapter in this story.” As for the subplot dedicated to TommyJoel’s brother, Druckmann confirms but does not give certainties: “We hope to be able to create it one day.”
