“The Last of Us Part 3” Has a Plot Ready to Go, But It's Not Being Made Yet

Stop teasing us!

Despite The Last of Us Part II having been out for almost a year now, the game continues to make headlines on gaming sites even for the slightest rumour about a possible Part III.

For that we have to thank The Last of Us director Neil Druckmann for being so vocal about the series. Without him, I don’t know what else I’d passionately write about.

In his latest interview on the Script Apart podcast, Druckmann spilled the tea on the future of the post-apocalyptic zombie series, teasing fans with some juicy details about the potential of adding a Part III to the Last of Us series.

“I don’t know how much I want to reveal. Co-writer Halley Gross and I did write an outline for a story that explores a little bit what happens after [Part II],” Druckmann told the podcast.

In regards to whether they’re developing the game, Druckmann shut that door for the time being.

“We’re not making—but I hope one day can see the light of day.”

Fine Druckmann, keep your secrets.

The director—who is also co-president of Naughty Dog—did give listeners insight into how the gaming company chooses its next projects.

“After we finish one of our big titles, we take a long time to explore different ideas, whether it’s going to be Last of Us III, whether it’s something new, whether there’s some old franchise we want to go back to.”

Damn Druckmann, just make it happen already! 

The Last of Us Part III aside, Naughty Dog are still working on a standalone multiplayer mode for Part II and rumours continue to swirl around a remastering of the first game for the PS5.

While you're going down the rabbit hole of anything Last of Us related, here’s a story about how that golf club scene was based on a true story.

The Last of Us Part II is available to play now on PlayStation 4.
