Interesting that he says he left Naughty Dog in April. They've been working on it that long, huh?
Because it's perfect as it is and needs no sequel.
Not gonna happen. Their story is over.
Whats more to tell?
Maybe ND are going to make The Last of Us a brand similar to Final Fantasy in which each game shares a different universe and story. The Last of Us 2 could be a story about the last great detective on earth trying to solve a great mystery. As long as the story and game play are there then it'll work.
Hmmm, yeah, this could work as well. TLoU as like an anthology series would be great too.Maybe ND are going to make The Last of Us a brand similar to Final Fantasy in which each game shares a different universe and story.

The sequal should be called "More of us".
I would love to see new characters in a different country. I want to see what's happening on the rest of the world. Joel and Ellie, if they appear at all, should only do so in cameo form, so fans can see where they are now.
I was hoping ND would make a new IP, but I guess this is a good business decision.
They can tell 100 stories.After TLOU, Fireflies are pissed at them [and they can probably locate Tommy somehow], Ellie is now fully trained as a survivor, and her relationship with Joe can either be stronger or she can hate him for making her sacrifices pointless ["It can't be for nothing"].
I have no doubts that they could find lots of great emotional and meaningful stories to tell.
The Last of Us 2: Setting the Post Apocalyptic China
Joel just rampaged through the Fireflies HQ, killed probably the only neurosurgeon capable of making a vaccine, and killed the leader of the organization who was most likely the only one who could trace Joel to his brother.
Fireflies are done, no need to bring them back.

I do hope this is something ND wanted and not something Sony imposed on them, but nonetheless, I think there's plenty of things you can do in that setting, and especially coming from Neil Druckmann who is a very talented writer.
A bit sad since ND usually started new gen with new IPs :s
Oh well, it's going to be great.
To be fair, TLoU came out the same year as a new gen.A bit sad since ND usually started new gen with new IPs :s

Why can't it just be one. I realize the game made a ton of money, but is this necessary?
It's like making a sequel to Forrest Gump.

The Last of Us 2 would effectively be a new game if the cast is changed. The concern shouldn't be with the way the game plays, but whether or not Naughty Dog can deliver on writing.
