The success of the ever popular PS4 exclusive 'The last of Us' was immense that most of the PC gamers who are high-time video gaming enthusiasts went up and purchased a PS4 to play only this game.
Now, there has been a lot of rumours doing the rounds online surrounding a sequel to the game. If all the rumours are found to be valid, then it's pretty much safe to assume there would be a sequel after all. This is because Naughty Dog who is behind the success of the game has been dropping hints about a sequel down the years.
Back in 2014, the creative director of the game Neil Druckmann was unsure about the same since it highly depended on developing a good story. This also adds up to the fact that Nolan North, the voice actor accidentally let it slip back in 2015 about this.
According to Neuro Gadget, it was later neither confirmed nor denied due to the fact that work had been halted in lieu for Uncharted 4: A Thief's End.
Druckmann's statement detailed about how he was completely being honest about it in the past. They did have some crazy ideas about the Last of Us 2 with new characters and make it something like a fantasy game building prototypes and everything.
However, it all took a dead-end when they were instead asked to work for Uncharted 4. It was also later revealed that due to the newly generated ideas for new characters, the following sequel might never see the characters of the previous games. This is so since the voice actors for the same were not in a position to come back for the succeeding game.
In a reddit AMA, he further went on explaining how an in-game character Elli had some complicated feelings when one of the redditor questioned him about Elli's love for Joel.
Considering all points overall, it's pretty hard to imagine the two characters being axed which brought in so much feelings in-game. And now, that all would be gone in the upcoming game, where a lot of mixed feelings were induced for the gamers in the first title.
However, if there is to be a successive game, fans can hope for the best and would also like them to succeed just like the current game itself. But till then, it's a waiting game with time.
