Creative director Neil Druckmann says the universe could expand even though Joel and Ellie's story has reached a conclusion.
The Last of Us universe is "ripe for more stories," Naughty Dog creative director Neil Druckmann has told the PlayStation Blog. The game ships next week exclusively on PlayStation 3 and even though it will wrap up the Joel and Ellie narrative, Druckmann said there's opportunity to tell more stories within the gameworld.
"I think the world is ripe for more stories, but as far as the journey Joel and Ellie goes on it ends with this game," Druckmann said. "We were very conscious that we didn't want to leave this story dangling. If we never do a sequel we're OK with it, because we told the story we needed to tell."
Druckmann explained that Naughty Dog spent a lot of time creating the post-apocalyptic world of The Last of Us, complete with its disease and how the world has reacted to it. Much of this information has stayed in the background, and that was intentional, Druckmann said.
"But then a lot of that stuff is in the background and we’re very conscious of keeping it there. Because that’s not what the story is about," he said. It's about these two characters and the journey they go on."
The Last of Us launches June 14 across the world. Reviews for the game were published earlier this week. Its Metascore on GameSpot sister site Metacritic stands at 96, making it the highest rated game of 2013 so far, surpassing BioShock Infinite.
I respect their decision to keep it just bout the two characters, but I can't help to wonder bout the background stuff. 20 years after the outbreak is a long time for shit to go down. Even with the ending, you still wondering what else happened.
I think some DLC on how Joel fell out with his brothers would be a nice touch. It could follow Tommy and how he met his wife. Plus, Joel was a hunter himself and judging by the dialogue at the fort, Tommy was with him. Ran with Joel, then went to the fireflies, then left to be with his wife. Could flesh out the 20 years of info in the process.
Or the reprecussions of Joel snatching Ellie from the lab and saying fuck a cure. There had to be draw backs from that. Anything from the fire flies going all out to retrieve Ellie or Ellie sneaking off to be the sacrifice. Or maybe humanity gets wiped out. Or maybe they really do find someone else that's immune. Is she content with the decision Joel made? Or does she hate him for lying? What if the others found out, would they turn Ellie in? Would Joel go rage and kill all of them too?
Shit is deep.

The best thing about the concept is that it is dealing with a real infection from fungi. It is more believable that zombies as the infected are just taken over by a parasitic fungi which explains how they are getting sick and mutating. Zombies never made sense to me as rigor mortis will set in and something dead does not need to eat. Man this game has some of the best sound, voice work and music. ND came a long way from Crash.
