It’s been over a 12 months since Final of Us collection director Neil Druckmann left the live-action HBO series within the less-than-capable hands of showrunner Craig Mazin, and maybe there’s a god, as a result of the present goes to wrap up after its third season quite than spreading issues out right into a proposed fourth one. Druckmann, nevertheless, can’t actually communicate to how the third season, starring Kaitlyn Dever as Abby, is shaping up, as a result of he’s not concerned. Nevertheless, it feels like he has extra Final of Us initiatives within the works, as he appears to have once again teased a possible third game within the post-apocalyptic drama.
In an interview with The Washington Post, Druckmann talked in regards to the strategy of writing for video video games and the way his work on the primary two seasons has (or hasn’t) knowledgeable his artistic work in video video games within the years since engaged on the present. Proper now, Druckmann is directing Naughty Canine’s upcoming sci-fi motion sport Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, and cited his need to deal with it as a key cause for his departure from the present after the second season wrapped. Nevertheless, when requested if he had any replace on the third season, Druckmann just about says point-blank that he doesn’t know and isn’t a part of no matter Mazin is cooking up.
“I wasn’t concerned in shaping this season’s artistic path, and Naughty Canine didn’t have a artistic function within the path of this season,” Druckmann mentioned. “So I can’t personally communicate to how manufacturing is progressing.”
Nevertheless, Naughty Canine is outwardly doing one thing inside the collection, although whether or not that be a brand new sport, a unique adaption, or simply another artistic initiatives within the post-apocalyptic world is unclear.
“It’s vital for us to notice that because the creator of the video games, Naughty Canine remains to be steward of this IP and regardless that this is perhaps the tip of this adaptation, we’re not executed with The Final of Us,” he says. “There’s a pair initiatives within the works that, when the time is correct, I’m very excited to speak about.”
I’ve made no secret of the truth that I discover HBO’s model of The Final of Us to be one of the most abhorrent works in video game adaptation history. As I write this, it’s the tip of the work day and if I get too in my emotions about HBO’s present I’m gonna be right here all night time, however I’ll say that along with my trepidation in regards to the TV present’s remaining season, I’m additionally fairly cautious of the potential for Naughty Canine making a 3rd Final of Us sport contemplating I’m not really interested in being told what happened after the end of Part II. And as a lot as I’d prefer to imagine that these “initiatives” Druckmann is speaking about received’t embody one other sport, sadly for me, the way in which he phrased issues undoubtedly leaves the potential for one open.
