As much as it saddens me to say it,The Last of Us Part IIIis almost certainly not releasing during the current console generation.The Last of Usfans have been enjoying a steady stream of content in recent years. The latter end of 2022 brought us the remadeThe Last of Us Part I,whilst 2023 saw HBO’s TV adaptation premiere andThe Last of Us Part IIRemasteredannounced. That then dropped just last month, so we’ve hardly been starved of treats. That being said, it’s been a good while since we received a wholly new release.The Last of Us Part II, of course, dropped during 2020 and we have no idea, outside of remakes and remasters, whatNaughty Doghave been cooking up since.Take a look at our review ofThe Last of Us Part II Remasteredbelow.While I’m grateful for both the remadePart Iand remasteredPart II, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t desperate for Naughty Dog to announce something new. Ideally, I’d like that to beThe Last of Us Part IIIbut honestly, I think we’re all up for anything at this stage. It’s believed that two projects are currently in the works at Naughty Dog, although neither has been announced.

While Naughty Dog continues to keep a closed lid on both projects, Druckmannopened up aboutPart IIIduring the recentGrounded II: The Making of The Last of Us Part IIdocumentary. “I’ve been thinking about it, [asking] ‘Is there a concept there?’ And for years now, I haven’t been able to find that concept,” he began.“But recently, that’s changed, and I don’t have a story, but I do have that concept that to me is as exciting as [Part]1, as exciting as [Part]2, is its own thing, and yet has this throughline for all three. So it does feel like there’s probably one more chapter to this story." With the interview clip filmed within the last few months, it’s clear thatThe Last of Us Part IIIis only in its conceptual phase.With Sony warning that the PS5 isin the ‘latter stages’ of its life cycle, the PS6 will assumedly land in around three years time. CouldThe Last of Us Part IIIland before then? Given how early it is in pre-production and the major changes Naughty Dog has undertaken to stamp out crunch, it doesn’t appear so. Could Naughty Dog be planning for a major PS6 launch title though? That feels far more likely.
