At the end of January, Neil Druckmann surprised. Naughty Dog co-president stated that The Last of Us Part 3 won’t happen if they don’t come up with a compelling enough story. According to the behind-the-scenes information brought by the server The Leakbut a new post-apocalyptic adventure is in development.
The Last of Us Part 3 is said to be in development for PS5 with PlayStation 6 in mind. This means that the game should come out before the end of the PS5’s life cycle and then be enhanced/remastered for the next generation console – perhaps being one of the launch titles. After all, this is how the first The Last of Us was released on PS3 and then in the remaster on PS4. The development of AAA games is ongoing these days mostly 4 years.
The long development is confirmed by the well-known journalist Jason Schreier. He wrote some time ago that development has stretched so far that if a studio (any) started working on a brand new high-budget project today, it would probably not be released until the next console generation.
According to the source, who also reported on the PS5 Slim, it has an important role to play in the development of The Last of Us Part 3 success of the series. The fourth episode saw even better ratings than the previous ones, and HBO and Sony have reason to be happy.
Up to 7.5 million American viewers watched The Last of Us on HBO and HBO Max during its Sunday premiere. This is a 17% increase from the third episode, which was watched by 6.4 million viewers. The second had 5.7 million and the first 4.7 million.

The Last of Us series since its premiere in 2013 has sold more than 37 million copies. In 2022, the first part of the remake was released on PlayStation 5, and after a delay it will arrive on 28/03/2023 on PC.
He also noted the speculation Troy Baker. Video game representative Joel during the podcast ComicBook stated that he has no idea if there will be a The Last of Us Part 3. According to his words, he didn’t even know there would be a second part. But he is ready to get involved if Neil Druckmann wants him to be part of the story.
We remind you that Naughty Dog is officially working on multiple projects. But it is only confirmed The Last of Us standalone multiplayer gameis set in another city and will offer its own story and characters.
Why would Druckmann lie? Perhaps he doesn’t want to expose the team to the pressure that would surely arise if he confirmed the development of a new The Last of Us. So far, at least the second season of the series is confirmed.
