If you're a fan of *The Last of Us* eagerly awaiting news about a potential Part 3, you might want to brace yourself. Series creator Neil Druckmann has recently dashed hopes of a sequel in a candid interview with Variety. The conversation primarily focused on the upcoming *The Last of Us* TV series, but when the topic shifted to the possibility of *The Last of Us Part 3*, Druckmann's response was disheartening:

"I was waiting for this question," he said with a sigh. "I guess the only thing I would say is don’t bet on there being more of 'Last of Us.' This could be it."

This statement leaves fans wondering whether to take Druckmann at his word. Currently, Naughty Dog is fully engaged in developing *Intergalactic*, announced at The Game Awards last December. With no release window in sight, it's clear the studio's focus is on this new project, leaving little room for *The Last of Us Part 3* in the near future. Druckmann might be playing his cards close to the chest, or perhaps he genuinely feels the story has reached its conclusion. Only time will tell.

For those still hungry for more *The Last of Us*, the television series offers a glimmer of hope. Season two is set to premiere on April 13 on Max. While Druckmann remains uncertain about the number of seasons needed to adapt the story of *Part 2*, an HBO executive suggested in February that four seasons might be the ideal length to fully explore the narrative.
