The Last Of Us Part 2 dominated Naughty Dog’s best game poll last year.

In a new interview with Variety, Neil Druckmann confirmed that he initially hesitated about changing The Last of Us Season 2, but others eventually convinced him. He loves these changes from the game’s story but assures fans that its DNA remains.

I love the changes that we’ve made. It’s a different version of that story, but its DNA is in there. [I am] Maybe more than excited.

-Neil Druckmann, The Last Of Us Creator.

Neil also points out that we can expect one or two more seasons from the game, as it is becoming increasingly difficult to extend these episodes.

For those not in the know, HBO’s The Last Of Us Season 2 is partially adapting the TLOU Part 2, with the rest being preserved for future seasons.
