Naughty Dog Boss Clears Up The Last Of Us Part 3 Rumours

Someone grab the golf clubs because those The Last of Us Part 3 rumours have just taken a whack to the noggin. Sorry, it doesn't sound like the apocalyptic adventure is next on the cards for Naughty Dog.

Following the release of the OG in 2013 and its divisive sequel in 2020, many assumed the acclaimed developer would at least move forward with a trilogy. That might not be the case, though. 

Where Is The Last Of Us Part 3?

There were definitely enough dangling plot threads in The Last of Us Part 2 to warrant a sequel, with most guessing the mythical Part 3 would focus on Abby and Lev.

Seemingly debunking the threequel, Naught Dog boss Neil Druckmann took to Twitter and attempted to clear up some of the many myths. Telling us to be wary of supposed "insider" information, it's a pretty clear damnation of The Last of Us Part 3. 

Just weeks ago, there were swirling reports that The Last of Us Part 3 was next on the docket over at Naughty Dog. Now, it sounds like we should park this alongside Uncharted 5 in the maybe pile of things the developer might not be working on... yet. 

Will There Be The Last Of Us Part 3?

Opinions were split on whether this is for the best. One wrote, "I'd love a TLOU 3 one day, but right now with the remake, show, Multiplayer,...it could lead to IP fatigue Naughty Dog & Sony are too smart to do that."

Another added, "Last of us part 3 🤞🤞 the greatest story in gaming needs progression," while a third said, "Sorry Neil, I know the Abby spin off is coming and you can’t “convince” me otherwise."

While we believe Druckmann's words (for now), The Last of Us Part 3 makes a lot of sense. Alongside Abby actor Laura Bailey saying she'd love to return, AI even wrote an outline for what Part 3 could be about.

We're sure Druckmann and co. are cooking up something in the Naughty Dog kitchen, and even though it might not be The Last of Us Part 3, we're excited to see what's next for the developer.
