As a studio, what do we want to commit to? Because it’s a huge commitment – monetary, time, passion, talent, so you think about all the opportunity costs that come with that. I like to fully explore all of those, then look at, like: okay, we have all of these ideas in front of us. "After we finish one of our big titles," Druckmann explained, "we take a long time to explore different ideas, whether it’s going to be Last of Us III, whether it's something new, whether there's some old franchise we want to go back to. With two games, now there’s starting to be a pattern – now I feel like there are some structural and thematic themes you'd have to stick to if you're making a third game." It seems that Naughty Dog is currently exploring what to do next. With one game, there’s no pattern of what a franchise is. "We’ve now had two games that I feel speak to something universal as well as telling a very personal story for these characters. , I've been thinking about it for seven years, between when the last game came out and when this came out You want to make sure you’re jazzed by the idea that you have, it feels like it’s challenging. The synergy between the show and a potential remake could introduce audiences not just to Joel and Ellie, but also open up the possibility of exploring a plethora of other video game stories that are just as engaging as The Last of Us.Druckmann says there's been "quite a bit" of discussion internally about a Part 3, but pointed out how much work is involved in making a game like this a reality: "These games take so much to make. The possible late 2022 release of the show also gives more than enough time to get the game shipped in time for audiences to experience the story of Joel and Ellie in more ways than one. The investment the audiences bring to the characters of Joel and Ellie will surely bring a relevance back to the first game, and while the remastered version for PS4 is more than acceptable option, the allure of an updated, visually pleasing version of the game for general audiences to pick up is too big of an opportunity to pass up. During the 2022 Summer Game Fest Druckmann revealed that project has been in development for the past two years, before adding you’re going to see a lot more of this game come next year 2023. With that being said, that leaves room for The Last of Us remake to not only succeed, but be necessary. Release Date The standalone Last of Us multiplayer game does not have a release date, however, it is believed to release in 2023. With the adaptation expected to premiere sometime late next year, Joel and Ellie’s story on the small screen is sure to engage general audiences, or even fans of the horror and zombie genre, not necessarily just those who are fans of the video games. Naughty Dog often reuses assets from its base games and DLC for multiplayer. We can also assume that, provided it maintains a Last of Us branding, the multiplayer will re-use assets from Last of Us 2. With the likes of Pedro Pascal in front of the camera and Kantemir Balagov behind it, HBO is showing that it’s taking the show and its success very seriously. We know that the upcoming multiplayer has been in the works since at least 2018 when Naughty Dog made the aforementioned announcement. The Last of Us show has some serious talent behind it. One of the more important contributions this potential Last of Us remake delivers is the upcoming release of the live-action adaptation in form of a television series for HBO.
