One of the creators of The Last of Us game announced that he is working on a new sequel, writes Business Insider. But you will probably have to wait ten years to play it.
Why so long?
The creator of the game needs to find a good idea for the story. He wants it to be as interesting as the first two parts.
In a documentary on the making of the last game, co-creator Neil Druckmann revealed that he already had a concept for a sequel.
“I don't have a plot, but I have a concept that I think is as exciting as the first and second parts. It is independent and at the same time has a common connection for all three, said Druckmann in the documentary. “Therefore, it seems that there is another chapter in this story.”
Druckmann admitted that it was difficult to come up with the idea for the third game after the first two followed the themes of “unconditional love” and “quest for justice” respectively.
