Despite former comment from Druckmann thatThe Last of Us Part 3might not happen , the most recent update from the Naughty Dog co - president support that the potential biz ’s core theme has been decided .

Everything We Know About The Last Of Us Part 3

Despite Druckmann ’s denotation that work on a potential thirdThe Last of Usgame has only just begun ( it ’s unclear when this part of the docudrama was filmed),there have been rumors circulating about the secret plan for some time . The most significant come from aThe Last of Us Part 3leakindicating there was a casting call for five prominent , brand - new characters . This mathematical group of scavengers would supposedly become embroiled in a power battle , but how it is alleged to tie in with the wider narrative of the first two games remain unclear . A follow - up to said leak did maintain that Ellie would return inTLOU 3 , and her role would be just as prominent as it was inPart 2 .

The validness of these detail is incertain , and leak should always be taken with a intelligent loony toons of skepticism . What the leaks do not let in is any citation of Abby and Lev ’s story continuing after theend ofThe Last of Us Part 2 , which would presumptively be of interest . In the documentary , Druckmann also mentioned that he has indite a " small story " that takes place afterTLOU 2and stars Tommy , though he admit that it has been put over , at least for now . He believe that one twenty-four hour period , the story about Tommy will be released , but in what form is ill-defined .

For now , The Last of Us Part 3remains more or less unconfirmed , even if the series Lord has an idea for its cardinal theme . With the ever - increase distance of triple - A game development , it ’s also unconvincing that it could be herald any time shortly , especially with Naughty Dog reportedly at work on another unannounced title . Whether it ’s a newUncharted , a return to a classic Naughty Dog series , or a new IP all told , the acclaimed studio apartment appears to have its hands full , and any on-going study onThe Last of Us Part 3is likely the very early stages of pre - product .
