The Last of Us 2's director still isn't com♉menting on whether a sequel is of interest to the developer.

Neil Druckmann recently spoke to shortly after 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Last of Us 2 Remastered was revealed earlier this month. When asked about whether The Last of Us 3 might ever be happening at 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Naughty Dog, the co-president wouldn't directly address the possi✃bility.

"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," Druckmann told the outlet. However, Druckmann did confirm th𓂃at Naughty Dog has "other pr🍸ojects in the works."

There have been several long-standing rumors surrounding Naughty Dog's future over the past year. One fairly consistent rumor is that The Last of U🎃s 3 is happening, and will feature Ellie returning for another outing as the game's protagonist. Another rumoꦏr claims that Naღughty Dog is working on a brand new IP, different to both The Last of Us and Uncharted. 

For what it's worth, Druckmann stated earlier this year in an interview that he thought there was 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:"more story to tell" 🌊in The Last of Us's world. That's definitely not confirmation of a third game happening, but it certainly didn't do anythi🌳ng to dispel the rumors surrounding a potential third game.

Druckmann isn't the only Naughty Dog personnel to have commented on a third game. Tommy actor Jeffrey Pierce believes "there's a 🤡lot of🌳 potential" for The Las♊t of Us 3, but again, this isn't confirmation of the game being in development, just that developers believe there's material to work with.

The Last of Us 2 Remastered launches next year on January 19, 2024, as a PS5 exclusive. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Last of Us Season 2, meanwhile, is beginning production early nಌext year i🔴n 2024.
