Given the seven-year gap between Part 1 and Part 2, expect to wait a long time before a third game in the series materialises.<\/p>\n<p>He adds that Naughty Dog takes \u201ca long time to explore different ideas, whether it\u2019s going to be Last of Us 3, whether it\u2019s something new, whether there\u2019s some old franchise\u201d it wants to go back to. Time will tell if the studio\u2019s next major title is The Last of Us Part 3, but we\u2019d be shocked if it never happens.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more on The Last of Us:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul><li><strong><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/sci-fi\/the-last-of-us-tv-show-review\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">The Last of Us TV show review<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 why it\u2019s worth watching<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/sci-fi\/last-of-us-tv-changes-game-newsupdate\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">The Last of Us TV show changes<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 creators talk deviations<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/sci-fi\/last-of-us-mandalorian-pedro-pascal-newsupdate\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">The Last of Us meets The Mandalorian<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 Pedro Pascal on similarities<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/last-of-us-part-i-review\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">The Last of Us Part 1 review<\/a> <\/strong>\u2013 our verdict on the remade game<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/the-last-of-us-pc-release-date\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">The Last of Us PC<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 when does Part 1 hit computers?<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/the-last-of-us-film-movie\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">The Last of Us film<\/a> <\/strong>\u2013 why Sam Raimi movie died<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/last-of-us-ps5-ps4\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\"><strong>The Last of Us PS5<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 versions and consoles explained<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/last-of-us-left-behind-explained\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">The Last of Us Left Behind<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 the DLC explained<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/last-of-us-2-multiplayer\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">The Last of Us 2 multiplayer<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 Factions follow-up explained<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/last-of-us-2-trophy-guide\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">The Last of Us 2 trophies<\/a> <\/strong>\u2013 full list to collect<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/last-of-us-2-chapters\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">The Last of Us 2 chapters<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 how many are there?<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/last-of-us-2-safe-codes\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">The Last of Us 2 safe codes<\/a> <\/strong>\u2013 open all locked doors<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/how-long-last-of-us-2-hours\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\"><strong>How long is The Last of Us 2?<\/strong><\/a> How many hours you\u2019ll need<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/last-of-us-2-ps5-upgrade\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">The Last of Us 2 PS5 upgrade<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 how to get it<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/last-of-us-part-2-pc-release-date\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\"><strong>The Last of Us 2 PC<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 when will Part 2 reach computers?<\/li>\n<\/ul> <div class=\"&quot;brightcove\" embed=\"\"> <div class=\"&quot;embed__intrinsic&quot;\"> <div class=\"&quot;brightcove__player\" vjs-playlist-player-container=\"\"> <video data-video-id=\"6318448990112\" data-account=\"69912529001\" data-player=\"ByeOf0VZEl\" data-embed=\"&quot;default&quot;\" data-application-id=\"\" controls=\"\" class=\"&quot;video-js&quot;\"> <\/video> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<script src=\"&quot;\/\/players.brightcove.net\/69912529001\/ByeOf0VZEl_default\/index.min.js&quot;\"\/> <p><strong>Hungry for more gaming?
