It has been announced that Naughty Dog is working on two new projects for The Last of Us series. In a blog post on the company’s website, studio head Neil Druckmann said the projects will focus on stories beyond The Last of Us Part I and Part II.
The content and release dates of the projects, which are still in the early stages of development, have not been shared.
Why it matters
This development shows that The Last of Us series will be explored beyond its existing two games, indicating that the narrative is not limited to these titles alone. However, the announcement does not yet provide a framework for how the projects will be presented or how the stories will relate to the series’ established narrative. The fact that they are in the early stages of development means that, as there is no content for players to assess, the announcement currently points more to the studio’s direction. While confirming the existence of new titles for those interested in the series, this situation prevents the formation of detailed expectations. The key questions that remain open are when the projects’ content and release schedules will become clear, and how the two projects will differ from each other.
