At its core, The Last of Us Part II is still very much about Ellie and Joel, but for this reveal, we wanted to showcase several new characters that are integral to their next journey. We’re sure you have many questions after watching this scene.
We’re also pretty sure that we’re going to see all sorts of theories about whom these characters are, where and when this scene takes place, and how all of this fits into Ellie and Joel’s next story. For now we’re keeping mum, but we’re excited to see what y’all make of this piece of the puzzle.
And here’s a new interview with creative director Neil Druckmann:
The Last of Us Part II debuted a brand new trailer at Paris Games Week, and to our surprise it provided more questions than answers. We sat down with Creative Director Neil Druckmann to see if we could pry any more details about exactly who these new characters are and to check in on how development is progressing.
I love the fact that it focuses on new characters. I’ve never seen Naughty Dog release a trailer quite as dark as this one, it really sets the tone. I’m not one to throw around fan theories, but I’m going with flashback. She puts a knife to her stomach and mutters some nonsense about being nested with sin, maybe implying she’s pregnant. Ellie’s mother maybe? Either way, I’m so excited to see where they take the series!
