Alot of people only want one TLOU. With these sales, it ain't happening.
And it shouldn't, because ND crafted a fantastic world that deserves more of its story told. We may not see Joel or Ellie again but we sure as hell are going to see TLOU2.
I agree. I wasn't a fan of Uncharted games, and I don't like "cinematic action games" like that in general, and yet, somehow, TLOU became perhaps my favorite game of all time. Certainly in my top 3 GOATs (which is comprised of Dark Souls, SOTC, and TLOU).
Also: I think we will absolutely see Ellie again.. Druckmann has said multiple times that one of his goals with the first game was an origin story for a new female action hero. Joel... He may or may not make an appearance in the next game, but I don't think it'll be about him.
His story's done.
