Welcome to the Heavy Spoilers show, I'm your host Paul aka the guy who always gets a Joel
in one and this video we're breaking down everything we think could be happening with
the last of us part 3.
The game is yet to be announced but there are leaks and rumours out there and throughout
this video we're gonna be breaking down everything that we think could be happening in the title.
Full spoilers ahead including the ending of Part 2 so if you haven't played that then
I highly recommend that you turn off now.
Please hit the thumbs up button if you enjoy the video and make sure you subscribe for
more last of us videos on the show and game.
With that out the way, huge thank you for clicking this, now let's get into The Last
Of Us Part 3.
-
Now Part 2 actually contains some clues about where things could be going.
At the end of the game we follow Abby and Lev as they make their way on their own away
from Seattle.
The pair are looking for fireflies and we discover that after the events of part 1 that
they pretty much disbanded.
Ellie actually came across some grafitti at one point calling them liars and we learn
that Abby ended up having to join the WLF because they'd fallen apart.
However rumours had arisen once more that they were out there and we joined the pair
as they came across an abandoned firefly outpost packed with supplies and a radio.
After speaking into it they heard back from one of their members and we got this scene.
-
Now upon leaving this house Rattlers arrive and they capture both of them.
Because of this many have suspected that the radio call was just a trap and that they were
finding out where they were so that thye could take them in.
The Rattlers are slavers and though we don't know exactly what happened with the pair they
got really messed up.
When Ellie finally caught back up with Abby she found her severely starved with her hair
cut down and bruises all over her body.
She was a shell of her former self and though Ellie freed her and Lev she eventually ended
up fighting with her after she was hit with a PTSD flashback of Joels death.
In the end though she saw that revenge led to nothing but loss and she let Abby go which
is when she and Lev sailed off into places unknown.
Now the reason that I think that the firefly radio call was legitimate is because after
you complete the game the menu screen changes.
This then shows you Catalina island with a boat next to the large domed building.
Abbys face model even made a joke about this recently and Neil Druckmann confirmed on Kinda
Funny that this shows they made it out there.
So I do think that the radio call was legit and that a third game could follow Abby as
she gets back in with the Fireflies.
In games you often have a reason for why the character loses all their upgrades and abilities
for the next one and not doing this was always a bit weird to me.
I remember the old God Of War games when I'd complete one and be a complete G and then
in the next one they'd have to come up with some convoluted reason as to why you no longer
had your upgrades even though you were continuing the story.
However Abby not only had her backpack taken away but she also had the s**t kicked out
of her so it makes sense why she's having to start again from fresh.
No as for Ellie we last saw her returning to the farmhouse to find it abandoned.
Previously she'd lived there with Dina but after she said she was going to go back out
there for Abby Dina gave her an ultimatum.
She said she'd take her and her kid and this came true when she returned home.
It was completely abandoned and after realising that she could no longer play the song she
associated with Joel she left the farm dishelved.
The direction she went to was towards Jackson but we don't know what happened from that
point onwards.
Now small thoughts on what I think could end up happening and it is posisble that they
bring things full circle from the first game with the Fireflies still wanting to develop
the cure.
Abby was aware that Ellie was the immune girl and though this could end up making the fireflies
go after I think they'll do something different.
Ellie in part 2 made it clear that she would've given her life for the cure and that she now
feels like she meant nothing because of what Joel took away from her.
Therefore the third game could potentially culminate with her deciding to go through
with the procedure once more and thus it would end her story and make her life mean something
in the end.
Now that's obviously some straight up fan fiction right there so if you have your own
thoughts and theories on what they could do then make sure you comment below.
Anyway as for whether the game is even being developed things havent been confirmed yet
but there are several leaks.
Recently on the Kinda Funny podcast Neil Druckman said that Naughty Dog were working on their
next game and that they'd announce it when they were ready.
Beyond that he's been in full andrew garfield mode however if we look at things he's said
since the start of the year there are actually some clues its in development.
Now after telling the hollywood reporter that he thought there was more of a story to tell
after the events of the second game he then told the script apart podcast that the third
game script had been completed.
However he did say that it wasn't in development and damage control was quickly followed up
with Naughty Dog releasing an official statement stating that the script had been done but
they were working on the aforementioned title that they can't tell us about yet.
So, there are things in place for The Last Of Us Part 3 but it might be a while before
we see it.
According to the leaks and rumours that say it is in development they state that it will
likely release at the end of the life cycle of the playstation 5 and probably early on
in the release of 6.
The Last Of Us games have always been like this with part 1 releasing at the end of the
playstation 3s release and part 2 coming in towards the end of the playstation 4.
So it's likely gonna be a similar thing and it means that naughty dog can maximise the
software and sell the game when the consoles in the most peoples houses possible.
When discussing the show Neil said that they dont really want to get into a game of thrones
situation where the series ends up out pacing the show and they don't have source material
to work off of.
I think that's fair enough as well as we all saw what happened with the latter parts of
the series.
It's clear they want to avoid that and we know that at the very least that part 2 will
be adapted into seasons 2 and 3 of the show.
There's probably a 2 year gap between each season and thus it'll be at the very least
6 years before season 4 releases.
This would probably give them enough time to develop the game and do the story alongside
it that gets adapted into the show.
They could even tie them in together and Druckmann has said that the next game will be paced
like a tv show in an episodic format.
I think this would work really well being released alongside the third game.
Now we also know that Naught Dog are currently in the middle of developing The Last Of Us
factions as well.
This is a multiplayer game that they've said is as big as their single player ones.
Whether that has story elements or not is another thing entirely but that could be used
as a way to introduce characters that then potentially pop up in a third game.
I think that would be a really cool way to handle things and hopefully we get something
along those lines in the future with the franchise.
Now in the meantime obviously let me know your thoughts on the game series and also
the show.
