The Last of Us 2, a zombie apocalypse action sequel announced released!
Creative Director Neil Druckmann and Game Director Bruce Straley confirmed with Gamespot.com that the sequel of 'Last Of Us 2', created by Naughty Dog, is still in the works and is in the process of evaluating if the new game should be a "go" or "no".
"If you're asking about a sequel ... Right now I'd say it's 50/50," Druckmann said.
"We have such limited resources, and it's a question of where you put the resources," Druckmann stated. "It's something where we can have a feel of where the demand is, and where our time is best spent. It's something that we'll figure out as we move forward."
Druckmann shared on his statements that they are focusing more on "quality than profits" that they can earn from The Last of Us 2 spin-off.
"We have started brainstorming some stuff. 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?" Druckmann said.
Setting aside the release date, rumors that fan-favourite characters' Joel and Ellie disappearing quiet down a bit when Druckmann revealed a statement saying, "I miss them [Joel and Ellie] dearly. I'd love to see them again-maybe in a different medium? We'll see."
And when asked about 'The Last of Us 2' futuristic ideas?
"There are clickers as big as buildings. Also you have lots of new gadgets and weapons (more lasers!). Oh and Ellie can now control the infected with her new powers. We'd also probably dive into the government conspiracy of creating a secret weapon that broke loose and that's how the outbreak started. There's probably a shadowy secret agency in all this that you find out Joel has been a member of this whole time (that's why he came home late in the prologue!)" Druckmann answered.
'Last Of Us 2' PS4 Release Date hasn't been really announced but speculated to come out in a few years.
