"When asked if there was going to be further content for the universe Joel and Ellie live in, Creative Director Druckmann said, 'It's possible. We're playing with some ideas, but no direction has been set yet for the next game.'"

"By stating 'for the next game,' Druckmann confirmed The Last of Us 2 is in the planning process," wrote Hypable.

Hypable then stated, "Later on, Druckmann tries to cover for himself, answering 'Will you be making another The Last of Us and will it feature Joel and Ellie?' with 'Don't know yet.'"
