Neil Druckmann, the creative director of The Last of Us, has implied that the company is already working on a sequel that will be focused on main characters Ellie and Joel.

The developer stated during an Ask Me Anything session on Reddit that, “We're playing with some ideas, but no direction has been set yet for the next game.”

He offered no more details on what fans of the game might expect or when a sequel might be officially announced.
