What Would You Like TLOU Part 3's Plot To Be?

Story Highlight
  • Rumors of a possible The Last of Us Part 3 have started surfacing on the internet. 
  • A former Naughty Dog Employee has revealed what could be the plot for the sequel. 
  • Neill Druckmann told him he wants the story to explore multiple immune people. 

The Last of Us games are undoubtedly some of the best narratives we’ve ever seen in gaming. Despite Part 2 being a little controversial, its emotional grasp, the way it delivers the characters’ arcs, is nothing short of incredible. 

Recently, there have been multiple rumors and reports of a Part 3 being in development. Now, a former Naughty Dog developer has teased that The Last of Us Part 3 story could explore multiple new immune characters. 

Why it matters: On first impressions, if this is indeed the plot of the sequel, it sounds a bit off, since Ellie would lose her unique status as the only known immune person in the post-apocalyptic world. 

In a recent interview, an ex-Naughty Dog employee explained an interesting conversation he had with Neil Druckmann about the future of The Last of Us. The plot could revolve around multiple immune people. 

He said Druckmann told him that several people are immune, that there is a whole congregation of that kind of person, and that he would like to explore the story with multiple characters, hinting at multiple playable characters.

If this happens, it might mean Ellie’s character arc is over, or maybe she’ll be pushed to a secondary role in the sequel. However, for now, take this with a grain of salt, as it isn’t an official confirmation.
