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.
Druckman explained: « For us, Uncharted was insanely successful – Uncharted 4 was one of our best selling games – and we’re able to put our final brushstroke on that story and say that we’re done.
