Neil Druckmann discusses the controversial ending of The Last of Us, clarifying that the Fireflies could have produced a cure for humanity at the cost of Ellie's life. Joel's decision to save Ellie leads to significant ramifications in the sequel and upcoming HBO adaptations. Druckmann also reveals that a third game may be developed if a compelling story emerges. Furthermore, the HBO series is confirmed to explore Abby's narrative in Season 3, while the necessity of Season 4 to complete the overarching storyline is emphasized.
"Could the Fireflies make a cure? Our intent was, 'yes, they could,'" said Druckmann during his appearance on the Sacred Symbols podcast.
"The reason why Joel didn't allow the Fireflies to create the cure is that they would have had to euthanize Ellie, whom he loved like a daughter."
"Mazin also recently shared his opinion that The Last of Us Season 4 is essential to finishing the story they've begun."
