After the massive success of the first game, players are expecting the sequel to The Last of Us. Now, we can be clear that there will be The Last of Us 2, as its new trailer has just dropped!

The Last of Us 2 has been revealed!

The Last of Us was a huge success, and people are looking forward to the sequel. Now, Naughty Dogs has delivered: in a recent PlayStation Experience (PSX) panel, the publisher has revealed a trailer for The Last of Us 2. The company has also revealed that in this sequel, players will take the role of Ellie, rather than Joel in the first game. In the first game, players were able to play as Ellie only in the DLC Left Behind.

In the trailer, we can see that Ellie vows to “kill everyone”, although we don’t know the identity of those people. Creative director of the game, Neil Druckmann, when asked about the people Ellie targets, avoided to address the question. Not much was shared during the panel actually, and Druckmann only confirmed Ellie as playable in the sequel. He noted that playing as “Ellie” will be different than Joel, but did not elaborate on that. You can watch the trailer below.

To draw a contrast between the two games, Druckmann said that The Last of Us 2 would be different from its prequel. To be more precise, he shared that the first game was about the love of Joel and Ellie. The second game, however, will be about hate. He said that the developers has made sure to convey the feeling to the people. If that is the case, the game would be very interesting. Also, Gustavo Santaolalla, the composer for the first game, will return in this sequel.

The Last of Us 2: A nice “counter” to the first one

The game is said to be still some ways off until release. However, with what we have seen so far, this looks to be a very interesting game, and a nice contrast to the first one. Are you excited after watching the trailer?
