Maybe they don't want to work on it anymore since it was Amy Hennig's baby. I think they can actually combine their 2 franchises together while letting this one go out with a controversial end.
What do you think about this; This is Nathan, and Sully's last mission together. While Nathan is getting away he is mortally wounded by a native trap, incoming enemy comes in for the kill. Nathan pleads with Sully to take the treasure a Pandoras box type treasure, and get rid of it. Sully agrees to take it, to hide/destroy it. He gets a fresh faced gunman to help him escape, he turns around, and his face is revealed...
JOEL from The Last of Us.
This treasure was indeed a Pandoras Box type treasure because it had the Fungus that took over the world in The Last of Us.
This can lead into a prequel of The Last of Us. What do you think?
They can bury a franchise honorably on it's shield like a warrior, since the creator is no longer there.
As for sequels to the Last of Us, I think they should approach it, like the book, not movie World War Z. Imagine every game showing a different story from all around the world. I think it would be the most legendary episodic game ever created. Never having to worry about characters getting stale, because the location, and Main character/characters would be different every game.
