There's been a lot of buzz lately surrounding what's next for The Last of Us franchise, especially with season 2 of the HBO show being quite divisive among fans of the original games. Currently, filming for the third season of the show is underway, with a fourth season planned as well, but after some questionable character decisions and major diversions from the source material in the last season, gamers are starting to worry about its future.
Beyond that, there's talk of how developers at Naughty Dog and director Niel Druckmann will manage a final Part 3 to conclude Ellie's story, whether that could mean a potential jump in time or a direct sequel where The Last of Us Part 2 left off. While there's no guarantee Part 3 will happen, Druckmann hasn't ruled it out, and has even suggested he has ideas for how the story could take shape.
