Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann Hints at Future The Last of Us Updates
A recent social media post from Naughty Dog’s chief, Neil Druckmann, has sparked renewed anticipation for the future of The Last of Us franchise. On September 26th, Druckmann shared an image of the saga’s script book on Instagram with the caption: “I don’t see the time to share more updates about the Last of Us when it is the right time.” While not a direct announcement,the message suggests further developments within the last of Us universe are forthcoming.
Druckmann has previously stated he would only revisit the series if a compelling story presented itself, emphasizing a commitment to quality over simply continuing the narrative. This latest post aligns with that sentiment, indicating that Naughty Dog is considering future installments but will only proceed when a worthwhile story is ready to be told.
Currently, Naughty Dog is actively developing other projects, including Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet and an unannounced second video game. Production on Season 3 of the HBO adaptation of The Last of Us is slated to begin in 2026, with a planned premiere in 2027, tho its status as a final season remains unconfirmed.
Druckmann’s statement isn’t a definitive confirmation of The Last of Us Part III, but it also isn’t a dismissal of the possibility, leaving fans to await the “appropriate moment” for further news.
