Expert Verified By

Neil Shared Original Sketches For The Game's Concept On Instagram!

Story Highlight
  • Neil Druckmann teased a future for The Last of Us series.
  • He said they had a few more steps remaining.
  • A potential The Last of Us 3 could come sometime in the middle of the PS6’s lifecycle.

Naughty Dog has repeatedly dismissed the questions of a third The Last of Us game, and still, fans aren’t ready to let go of the hope. In fact, many inside reports and leaks suggest that a third game is still in the works despite the developers’ remarks.

Now, we may have our first tease for the franchise’s future by the creator himself, who posted a cryptic message on social media hinting at something new for the series.

Why it matters: The Last of Us is regarded as one of the best single-player game series with some of the best-written narratives in media as a whole, and as such, fans will be excited to know that a new game in the series is underway.

Neil Druckmann Teases Fans With A New Instagram Post

On Instagram, Neil Druckmann shared the first concept sketches for The Last of Us, reflecting how it has evolved from that point. Later in the caption, he teased at something more for the series, saying “Grateful for every part of it, especially the few stops that remain on the road ahead.”

This could obviously mean something new from the franchise, and while the obvious call would be towards the live-action TV show adaptation at HBO, Neil Druckmann has left the show as the showrunner. 

Currently, he’s working on Naughty Dog’s next game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. Beyond that, the studio’s next project would likely be a third Last of Us game.

Multiple insiders and reports have suggested that The Last of Us 3 is Naughty Dog’s next game, but it will be a while before the next entry comes, possibly midway through the PS6’s lifecycle.

As for what story the next entry will follow, it’s unknown. It could very well focus on Ellie’s journey towards redemption and also feature another arc from Abby.
