The Last of Us Part 3: Neil Druckmann Has “No Comment,” Confirms Other Projects for Naughty Dog

last of us part 3

Following the recent announcement of The Last of Us Part 2’s PS5 remaster, Naughty Dog Co-President Neil Druckmann spoke in an interview regarding The Last of Us and Naughty Dog’s future. When asked about The Last of Us Part 3, he didn’t have much to say, but he did hint at what the studio is up to now.

The interview comes from Entertainment Weekly, who talked with Druckmann regarding his role as Creative Director on The Last of Us and what the fan reception for The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered has been like. Near the end, Druckmann was asked about The Last of Us Part 3, and this is how he responded:

The Last of Us is obviously a world I love deeply and know our studio and fans do as well, but I have no comment at this moment on the series’ future beyond our focus on The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered…. [W]e have other projects in the works at Naughty Dog.

This news comes as no surprise, as Naughty Dog has always tried to keep the future of their franchises under wraps. That being said, the fact that Druckmann confirmed other projects separately means that the studio is likely working on a different IP, potentially a return to a classic like Uncharted or even a new IP entirely.

Druckmann also declined to comment on The Last of Us multiplayer game that’s been facing serious trouble in the last several months. Last we heard, Game Director Vinit Agarwal reassured fans that he was still working on it, but it’s been radio silent since.

While you wait for the next Last of Us game, you can keep up to date on everything we know about The Last of Us 2 Remastered. You can check out the game’s “No Return” roguelike mode here.
