The Last of Us Part III is highly anticipated by fans, so the question is inevitable during the promotion of the HBO series. So the creator speaks.
The Last of Us franchise, already a cult franchise on consoles, is exploding today. With the announcement and release of the first season of the HBO TV series, it has been made available to the general public. In addition to the hype and audience records, it is also enjoying the recognition of the public and critics. It is therefore not surprising that there will be a second season, which is currently being filmed. This will cover part of the events of the second video game, The Last of Us Part II. But how far will it go?
And The Last of Us HBO has been renewed for a season 2, this is not yet official for the next one. However, we have little doubt that this will not be announced immediately after the sequel airs, in 2025. From then on, a third season would cover the end of TLOU2 … but is that really all we can expect from the series? The showrunners already seem to be thinking about the future!
The Last of Us 1, 2 … and 3?
Received together by DeadlineNeil Druckmann and Craig Mazin, the showrunners behind the HBO adaptation of The Last of Us, talked about season 2 and more… Based on their recent statements, we can clearly hope for a season 3 or even 4. But what would a fourth installment be based on? Because only two games have been released so far and TLOU3 is not yet fully formalized…
Well-informed journalist Nellie Andreeva did not hesitate to break down the door. Speculation about a new video game work is an inevitable topic. Mazin, also responsible for the successful miniseries Chernobyl, says: As a fan, I am very pleased There may be a third game The Last of Us. However, he does not want the series to go beyond the game, so he assures that it will cover events already known in video games. It will not hesitate to bring new elements, but only if they ” relevant
Druckmann, for his part, recovered. He, who is also co-developer of the license at Naughty Dog and president of the studio, is well placed to talk about the franchise. Then he insists that they ” Focus on both games “. It is about handling all materials within their reach carefully. However, he admits that ” there is a bigger plan that connects all seasons ».
While the promo for the two friends has only just begun, we get the feeling that they are walking on eggshells. While Druckmann suggested a half-hearted sequel in the making of TLOU2, it is now Mazin who points out The Last of Us 3 could well be a reality. Let’s also remember that the series is set to continue well beyond the second season. The potential for a new sequel on PlayStation consoles is therefore slowly taking shape. Can we hope to hear news about the license a few hours before the Summer Game Fest?
