Could be, but i think they need the IP to rest one generation and then return to in with fresh ideas. I find difficult that they can expand on current characters, so maybe a new cast, more 'survival' open world instead of heavily story driven? Don't know. They must be careful because people nitpick everything these days.

Depends on Neil Druckmann, I don't think Sony would greenlight a sequel without him. If they make a new one, they'd need a new theme and a new direction, not necessarily new main characters.

I'd like to think we would get a part 3 because of the ending of part 2. Probably not next, I expect a new IP next but hopefully part 3 at the end of PS5 Gen.

what the game that sold absolute gang busters? The one that effectivly hogged whole news cycles for what seemed like weeks / months? The one that was one of the fastest selling games? Nah, next to no chance of a sequel :-)

Can I just add, ive never actually played these games. However, I watched a playthrough of the first game. I said to myself Ill watch the first min or so of the opening....binged that whole damn thing and then watched some cutscenes and the ending lol. It might be one of the best games ever to simply sit and "watch" lol Is there plans for Tv/movie?

It sold like crazy, and Druckmann loves working on that world, of course it will be developed.

Also, TLOU II is the clear dark middle chapter of the trilogy. Up until the even darker and more depressing final chapter lol

Of course it will. Part 2 basically ends on a cliffhanger and sold like gangbusters. It'll take a while, but it will come.

I really hope it's made if there is an actual story to tell and not cuz The Last of Us sold well! iirc Neil and Halley have expressed some interest so then it's likely but again it probably won't be their next game, I think some new IP is probably in the works there

With the upcoming HBO series? Of course.

another thing they won't be TLOU3 in another country, state or different set of characters. Neil has said so and refers to it as a cop out he rather do a new IP instead.

The way Part 2 was set up, I'd kinda expect one more game. And it'd make sense to me at least if it has some more hopeful themes/elements then Pt. 2. With what is revealed at the end of the game there's some suggestions that could make for interesting developments/settings all along the west coast.

unfortunately, yes. should've been a one off game with no sequel but money talks. loved the first game. second one was a huge disappointment. naughty dog won't be seeing any more of my money until Druckmann leaves.

I think if there's a sequel it will be at the tail end of the PS5 generation, Naughty Dog will work on other things for a while which will be good for everyone. It would give them time to assess what worked in TLOU2 and what could be improved, as well as planning the story out.

A new IP is absolutely needed by Naughty Dog though, time to explore new worlds!

Yes. Part 2 is one of the best selling games of the year. It's also one of the best if not the best game of the generation. Sony will let Naughty Dog do what they want. And Ellie's story isn't finished.

yes, but not right away

I can see Part III being one of PS5's swan songs, just like Part I was for PS3 and Part II was for PS4

I don't think so. Sure it would make money but I think the story has been told and might be best if they just made a new IP.

I think so but hopefully ND will move onto another title first. Tbh I imagine that the nature of the game took it's toll on the developers over the years beyond just crunch so it'd probably be good for them to be enthused for something different.

I personally don't think so, but I wouldn't mind another. I feel like Naughty Dog told the story and themes that they wanted to, but there's also still some room for additional stories.

But where would story go?
Not to go into any spoilers but I think story is done and I really can't be caught playing another revenge story.
How and what will excuse all the killing this time?

I believe it will be but I'm not fussed if it's not. I didn't really want a Part II either as I thought the first was perfect and ended well. Obviously I played Part II but I felt the delivery was a bit off and could've been done better.

I don't really want one made, but I would have said the same about the second which I ended up preferring to the first quite a bit, so really I don't know. I can't imagine how they would continue the story, but at this point I have faith that if they did they'd find something to make it worthwhile. After UC4 and TLOU2, Naughty Dog has completely earned my trust.

That being said, I really hope a 3 is never made just for the sake of making a third. Only if Druckmann and crew are just as excited about it. Otherwise, I'd prefer if they left it behind and focused on whatever creatively energizes them.

The series has potential.

Don't just stop evolving the gameplay & world, just because the developers are bored and/or main-character(s) dead/have happy ending... : /

I felt the story was sufficiently concluded and don't have a hunger to see what else they can do within that world.

I would prefer ND's time and resources to be spent working on new IP.

I don't think LoU being a blockbuster hit is reason enough to make another. It was a new IP once too and I'm fairly confident whatever ND make it will sell well.

If there is, I hope they don't continue to follow the same characters. Those peoples' story is done (especially from a gameplay perspective, IMO).

The world they've crafted has plenty more opportunities to tell interesting stories not connected to Ellie/Abby/Joel/etc.

Voted uncertain. I can imagine all the death threats have left their mark and they might give the universe a rest.
We'll probably see a new IP first.

Is water wet? Sony is a for profit company and their most recent game in the series made a bunch of money.

Of course. The games are too successful not to make more. They'll be at least another one and possibly a fourth one as well.
