RELATED: The Last of Us Part 2 Mirrors Halo 5: Guardians in Many Ways How exactly do all parties involved move on from the horrific murder, and subsequent absence, of Joel going forward? As the in-game universe currently stands, the second installment rolled its credits with more questions being asked than were truly answered, which leaves plenty of space for the studio to come up with a fitting resolution for the characters and players involved. Just like Ellie herself, Naughty Dog will however have to face a round of difficult questions about one controversial topic that still lingers over the franchise from The Last of Us 2. If an official announcement is ever made, a lot of the internet will naturally be filled with anticipation and excitement. Even though Naughty Dog has confirmed that it isn't actively working on the theoretical sequel, the fact that Neil Druckmann and Halley Gross have already created a rough outline for its story suggests that a seed has already been planted, that will one day bear apocalyptic fruit. Looking at the runaway critical and commercial success that Sony has reaped following The Last of Us 2, it seems almost inevitable that a The Last of Us 3 will eventually be announced, turning the franchise into a neat trilogy.
