While this could potentially happen, the studio has been very clear that it\u2019ll only happen if there is a compelling enough storyline. While a plot outline has already been submitted, Naughty Dog has <strong>yet to confirm<\/strong> whether they\u2019ll continue with it or not, and what will happen to Uncharted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The newest game in The Last of Us franchise is an <strong>upcoming multiplayer title<\/strong>.

Just because a particular franchise is successful, that doesn\u2019t mean Naughty Dog has to continue bringing out new games.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Naughty Dog works with <strong>Sony as the publisher<\/strong>. This means that their projects are all funded by Sony. Druckmann noted that they\u2019re very privileged in the support they receive from Sony as the publisher allows them relative <strong>freedom in choosing which title to work on<\/strong>. Where other studios may face pressure to continue producing games within a successful genre, that\u2019s not the case for Naughty Dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After all, <a href=\"https:\/\/uncharted-legacy-of-thieves-collection.en.softonic.com\/articles\/uncharted-legacy-of-thieves-collection-pc-release\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Uncharted<\/strong><\/a><strong> was a very successful<\/strong> franchise with Uncharted 4 quickly becoming Naughty Dog\u2019s top selling game. Despite the great success of the franchise, Naughty Dog was able to <strong>finish off the series and call it a day<\/strong>. That\u2019s right, Naughty Dog won\u2019t be releasing any more Uncharted games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like they did with Uncharted, Naughty Dog <strong>could walk away from The Last of Us<\/strong>, despite its current success. Naughty Dog does have other projects that they\u2019re working on which includes rumored new IP. However, Naughty Dog would <strong>make another The Last of Us<\/strong> under one condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That condition being that they <strong>come up with a compelling story<\/strong>. Since the developers can decide whether or not they want to work on another game in the franchise, having a good storyline is important. They want to ensure the storyline has the<strong> same universal message and statement about love<\/strong> that the first two games did. If they can come up with a good story, then they\u2019ll tell it. If not, the <a href=\"https:\/\/everything.en.softonic.com\/articles\/heres-everything-we-know-about-the-last-of-us-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">second game<\/a> had a good ending and the franchise <strong>can stop there if necessary<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/Uncharted-and-The-Last-of-Us-Ending-Soon-02-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Uncharted and The Last of Us Ending Soon\" class=\"wp-image-210956\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/Uncharted-and-The-Last-of-Us-Ending-Soon-02-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/Uncharted-and-The-Last-of-Us-Ending-Soon-02-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/Uncharted-and-The-Last-of-Us-Ending-Soon-02-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/Uncharted-and-The-Last-of-Us-Ending-Soon-02-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/Uncharted-and-The-Last-of-Us-Ending-Soon-02-664x374.jpg 664w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/Uncharted-and-The-Last-of-Us-Ending-Soon-02-238x134.jpg 238w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/Uncharted-and-The-Last-of-Us-Ending-Soon-02-436x246.jpg 436w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/Uncharted-and-The-Last-of-Us-Ending-Soon-02-370x208.jpg 370w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/Uncharted-and-The-Last-of-Us-Ending-Soon-02-304x170.jpg 304w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/Uncharted-and-The-Last-of-Us-Ending-Soon-02-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/Uncharted-and-The-Last-of-Us-Ending-Soon-02-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/Uncharted-and-The-Last-of-Us-Ending-Soon-02.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It should also be noted that just because Naughty Dog isn\u2019t going to make another game in the Uncharted franchise <strong>other external developers can continue<\/strong> with the franchise. The same will go for The Last of Us. Naughty Dog has announced that they\u2019re <strong>open to the idea of an outside studio continuing<\/strong> with these franchises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re a fan of The Last of Us, you can continue to enjoy the <strong>television series on HBO<\/strong>, streaming Sundays. The first season is set to wrap up on 12 March. As for gaming, we\u2019re <strong>still waiting for details<\/strong> on the new The Last of Us multiplayer game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Final moments for Last of Us<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9221,"featured_media":210954,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","wpcf-pageviews":1},"categories":[1015],"tags":[3799],"usertag":[],"vertical":[],"content-category":[],"class_list":["post-210957","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-uncharted"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210957","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9221"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=210957"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210957\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":322407,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210957\/revisions\/322407"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/210954"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=210957"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=210957"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=210957"},{"taxonomy":"usertag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/usertag?post=210957"},{"taxonomy":"vertical","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vertical?post=210957"},{"taxonomy":"content-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content-category?post=210957"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
