Neil Druckmann Teases 'Concept' for The Last of Us Part 3: 'There's Probably One More Chapter to This Story' - IGN
Neil Druckmann says he has a "concept" for The Last of Us Part 3: "There's probably one more chapter to this story."
At the end of Grounded 2: Making The Last of Us Part 2, Naughty Dog's Neil Druckmann made a surprise reveal that The Last of Us Part 3 could very well be on the way.
That's not to say that's a lot there at the moment - he says he merely has a "concept" in mind - but did note that there's "probably one more chapter to this story."
"The first game had such a clean concept of like, the unconditional love a parent feels for their child," he said. "The second one, once we landed on this idea of the pursuit of justice at any cost, justice for the ones you love, we felt like, 'there's a clean concept here and there's a throughline from the first game, about love.' If we never get to do it again, this is a fine ending point. Last bite of the apple, the story's done."
"The great thing about working at Naughty Dog is that we don't have to," he added. "It's always like, 'we would love another Last of Us, but if you guys feel you're passionate about something else, we'll support this other thing.' Very privileged position to be in, I never take that for granted. I've been just thinking about it, 'is there a concept there?' And for now years, I haven't been able to find that concept. But recently, that's changed, and I don't have a story, but I do have that concept that to me is as exciting as 1, as exciting as 2, is its own thing, and yet has this throughline for all three. So it does feel like there's probably one more chapter to this story."
The documentary, which broadcasted on YouTube for the last couple of hours, provided an in-depth look at the making of The Last of Us Part 2. The same documentary will also be available in The Last of Us Part 2, which will be remastered today via a software update.
