Despite Part 2 being a little controversial, its emotional grasp, the way it delivers the characters\u2019 arcs, is nothing short of incredible.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Recently, there have been multiple rumors and <a href=\"https:\/\/tech4gamers.com\/last-of-us-3-teased-neil-druckmann\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">reports of a Part 3<\/a> being in development. Now, a former Naughty Dog developer has teased that The Last of Us Part 3 story could explore multiple new immune characters.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Why it matters:\u00a0On first impressions, if this is indeed the plot of the sequel, it sounds a bit off, since Ellie would lose her unique status as the only known immune person in the post-apocalyptic world.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In a recent interview, an ex-Naughty Dog employee explained an interesting conversation he had with Neil Druckmann about the future of <a href=\"https:\/\/tech4gamers.com\/the-last-of-us-part-3-halfway-ps6-generation\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Last of Us<\/a>. The plot could revolve around multiple immune people.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He said Druckmann told him that several people are immune, that there is a whole congregation of that kind of person, and that he would like to explore the story with multiple characters, hinting at multiple playable characters.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-344816 webpexpress-processed\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"The Last of Us Part 1\" width=\"2400\" height=\"1350\" data-lazy- data-lazy- data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/TLOU-PART-1.jpg\"\/>TLOU Part 3 could explore multiple new immune characters.<\/p>\n<p>If this\u00a0happens,\u00a0it might mean Ellie\u2019s character arc is over, or maybe she\u2019ll be pushed to a secondary role\u00a0in the sequel.
