The Last of Us Part 3 already has a written plot and Neil Druckmann hopes that “one day he can see the light”

The Last of Us Part 3

It was one of the biggest releases of all of 2020. The Last of Us Part II spawned what it was meant to create: many debates about its history, mechanics, and significance within the video game world.

Now, its director Neil Druckmann has shared reflections in the Script Apart podcast, as revealed by IGN. About the possibility of a sequel, the person in charge has surprised by announcing that he has a scheme for the plot of a possible The Last of Us Part III .

“I don’t know how much I want to reveal … Halley Gross and I wrote an outline for a story, which we are not doing, but I hope that one day it can see the light, which explores a bit what happens after this game. We’ll see.”

However, you have to step on the brakes of enthusiasm. As Druckmann says, the game is not in development since “these titles require a lot to do. You want to make sure that you are excited about the idea you have, that it seems like a challenge.”

Because Naughty Dog already has two plays behind it, Druckmann feels “that there are some structural and thematic themes that you should stick to if you’re going to make a third game.” Regarding what the Sony study is up to right now, the director explains that they are still evaluating what to do for the future.

“We take a lot of time to explore different ideas, whether it’s The Last of Us III, something new, or if there are any old franchises we want to go back to. I like to explore all of those ideas and then think: okay, we have all these ideas. in front of us. As a studio, what do we want to commit to? Because it’s a huge commitment: money, time, passion, talent, so think about all the opportunity costs that come with that. ”

We will see if a third party or that return to a past franchise finally takes shape. Naughty Dog recently mentioned that there is still “a lot of love for Jak & Daxter” in the studio. On the other hand, the latest information pointed toward a remake of the first The Last of Us.
