Naughty Dog Chief Warns Not to Expect The Last of Us Part 3

Naughty Dog's co-president Neil Druckmann has recently downplayed the likelihood of a third game in The Last of Us series, stating that fans should "not bet" on a new installment. Although there has been ongoing speculation since the release of The Last of Us Part 2 in 2020, with Druckmann previously writing a story outline and mentioning that discussions had taken place, his latest comments suggest uncertainty about the game's future. While the studio currently focuses on its upcoming sci-fi title, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, Druckmann's remarks indicate that a third chapter may not be on the horizon despite a story plan being in place. Fans will still have The Last of Us HBO series returning for its second season, adapting the events of the second game, providing plenty of new material to enjoy.

As of now, Neil Druckmann has expressed doubt about the creation of a third game in The Last of Us series, suggesting fans shouldn't expect it to happen.
