It’s been over 2.5 years since the release of The Last of Us: Part 2. So far, the creators have not revealed their plans for a possible continuation of the series. We only know that Naughty Dog is working on The Last of Us: Factions, an online mode based on the engine of the second installment of the game.
Sam Neil Druckmann, creative director at Naughty Dog, stated in a recent interview that he does not feel any pressure from Sony regarding the future of the series.
I know a lot of people are wondering about The Last of Us Part 3. All I can say is that at Naughty Dog we are very, very privileged because our publisher is Sony – which means Sony funds our games, supports us and we are owned by Sony . They supported us every step of the way to follow our passions, which means that just because something is successful, people think there’s all this pressure and we have to do a sequel. That’s not the point

The first rumors that The Last of Us: Part 3 is already in production appeared at the end of last year. Now the topic has returned again, which was undoubtedly influenced by the success of the HBO series about the adventures of Joel and Ellie.
The Last of Us: Part 3 is already in development? “For PlayStation 6”
According to the information obtained by The Leak, work on The last of Us: Part 3 began in November last year, and the final shape and budget of the production will depend on the interest in the HBO series.
Within Sony, the title is marked ‘in development’, Naughty Dog is the developer, and the game has been categorized as a PlayStation 5 release with ‘PlayStation 6 in mind’

As The Leak states, given that the production process of AAA games currently takes at least four years, The Last of Us: Part 3 can be expected to hit PlayStation 5 at the end of its life cycle, followed by a PlayStation version 6.
We had a similar situation in the case of the first and second installments of the game. The Last of Us was one of the last big titles on PlayStation 3, and The Last of Us: Part 2 debuted a few months before the launch of PlayStation 5.
