A sequel for the hit game "The Last of Us" might be in the works at the Naughty Dog studios.
According to Eurogamer, the gaming studio is "considering its options" regarding a second installment. Naughty Dog creative director Neil Druckmann told Eurogamer the studio wants to take a different approach to a sequel.
"We just wrapped up Left Behind, and Bruce Straley, the game director, and I have been doing this for over four years now. So it's just time for a break, and to recharge the batteries," Druckmann told Eurogamer.
"We have started brainstorming some stuff," Druckmann added. "To be honest, some of them are sequel ideas, and some of them are brand new IP - we've spent the last few weeks brainstorming new IP. So we have to get some good steps and see... It's kind of like how we approached Left Behind. Can we tell people a story that's really worth telling, and that's not repeating itself? And if we can't, where can we get inspired - what is something that's really going to challenge us, and push storytelling in this medium forward?"
"The Last of Us" follows the story of Joel and Ellie as they make their way across a post-apocalyptic world. Ellie may be the key to rid the world of "the infected," and Joel will do everything he can to protect her on their journey.
Naughty dog has released two DLCs for "The Last of Us" since the game's launch. "The Last of Us: Left Behind" gave gamers a look into Ellie's life before she joined Joel.
In "Left Behind", Ellie explores the post-apocalyptic world with best friend and mentor Riley. However, things quickly turn south as they explore an abandoned city and their lives will never be the same.
