Naughty Dog co-president Neil Druckmann has stated the studio is “moving on” from Uncharted, and it could do the same with The Last of Us if it doesn’t have a “compelling” enough story to tell for Part 3.
In an interview with BuzzFeed, the developer acknowledged fans are eager to hear more about the prospect of a third story in its The Last of Us series. However, Druckmann was keen to stress that just because something is successful, it doesn’t necessarily mean it needs a sequel.
Druckmann stated Naughty Dog is in a “very privileged position” with Sony, with the publisher “[supporting the studio] every step of the way to follow [its] passions”, meaning it wasn’t feeling any pressure to make a sequel.
