Since the first game premiered in 2014, The Last of Us has been one of the premiere gaming franchises. What’s more, the franchise has translated well to the small screen, with an HBO adaptation that earned praise from both critics and fans.
As we get ready for a second season of the HBO series, which will adapt the more controversial The Last of Us: Part II, one thing fans of the franchise still wonder about is whether there will be any more games in this universe.
Neil Druckmann, the creator of the games and a co-creator on the TV series, said that we shouldn’t bet on seeing another video game.
“I was waiting for this question,” Druckmann told Variety. “I guess the only thing I would say is don’t bet on there being more of ‘Last of Us.’ This could be it.”
As for the TV adaptation, it’s unclear how many more seasons of the show there will be after this one. What we do know, though, is that this season does not cover the entirety of Part II.
“It feels like we’ve got one or two more seasons,” Craig Mazin, Druckmann’s co-creator, says. “It’s getting harder to make, because every episode gets big. You don’t want to wait four years for a 17-episode finish, or whatever it is.”
