Instead of confirmation for The Last of Us Part 3 (or even yet, another remaster of an existing title), Naughty Dog instead <a href=\"https:\/\/www.naughtydog.com\/blog\/celebrating-the-last-of-us-day-2026\" class=\"link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined\" data-cy=\"styled-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">revealed<\/a> a collection of smaller surprises to keep fans tied over.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The headline is no doubt an armor set that&#8217;s coming to Sucker Punch Productions&#8217; Ghost of Yotei. Available starting October 1, players will be able to hop into the sequel&#8217;s Most Wanted mode while sporting Clicker-inspired armor. After it&#8217;s unlocked, players will be able to use it in the base game, as well as its new Echoes of Sekigahara DLC. You can see a first look at The Last of Us armor below.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2026\/09\/28\/tlou-01-front-ghost-of-yotei-1790617557041.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><img alt=\"null\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"progressive-image article-image article-image-full-size jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><\/a>The Last of Us inspired Clicker Armor in Ghost of Yotei.

Naughty Dog also announced a partnership with collectible company Youtooz for a Bloody Clicker figure. In addition to the previously revealed Welcome Hub background wallpaper for PS5, PlayStation users can enjoy four new themed avatars, with even more available on PC via Steam.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Also starting October 1 at 10 AM PDT \/ 1 PM EDT is a new Steam and Epic Games Store sale, which will discount <a class=\"link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined\" data-cy=\"styled-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/games\/the-last-of-us-part-1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Last of Us Part 1<\/a> by 50% and <a class=\"link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined\" data-cy=\"styled-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/games\/the-last-of-us-part-ii\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Last of Us Part 2<\/a> by 33%.

Does any of this come with a tease for The Last of Us Part 3? Well, no. Not at all.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">It&#8217;s been more than six years since Naughty Dog released The Last of Us Part 2, the series&#8217; latest entry. While the time between has seen the launch of important installments in the groundbreaking post-apocalyptic franchise, including the launch of <a class=\"link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined\" data-cy=\"styled-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/naughty-dog-not-done-with-the-last-of-us-but-studio-not-involved-with-hbo-shows-3rd-season\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">two seasons for its live-action HBO adaptation<\/a>, it&#8217;s also brought disappointment for fans.<\/p>\n<p>The Last of Us Day 2026 Announcements<img alt=\"Ghost of Yotei Clicker Armor Front.

Sony officially pulled the plug in December 2023, with Naughty Dog team promising it would focus solely on single-player games going forward.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">As The Last of Us Part 3 remains absent and without any official confirmation that it&#8217;s even in development, the studio is still very much in the weeds of its next new IP, <a class=\"link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined\" data-cy=\"styled-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/games\/intergalactic-the-heretic-prophet\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet<\/a>.

Still, fans spent the days leading up to The Last of Us Day hoping the holiday would come with any news about the future of the series. Some hoped it might come with confirmation that The Last of Us Part 3 was in the works at all, but for now, at least, it seems fans will have to wait.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The future of The Last of Us continues to be a mystery as Naughty Dog celebrates The Last of Us Day 2026.
