![]() Like the original, The Last of Us Part II is set in a post-apocalyptic world in which you have to fight both humans and zombie-like creatures infected with the Cordyceps fungus. "It's safe to say with the game that we made in the past that there will be some NPC with you in this story, even though we're not showing in this demo." If the new trailer if anything to go off of, we're guessing you'll be accompanied by a rotating roster of multiple characters as the story goes on. "Well, so, Ellie used to be an NPC, but she's the protagonist in this story, so the player is controlling Ellie," he said. Writer/director Neil Druckmann confirmed that Ellie will have an NPC companion in the game, though he didn't specify who or in what context. It's safe to assume that, like its predecessor, The Last of Us Part II's setting will be quite unsettling-something Naughty Dog says is completely intentional. That comes through in the gameplay we've seen, with Ellie performing brutal takedowns on them fueled by anger. The reveal trailer from 2016, which shows an older Ellie playing guitar and singing in a house filled with fresh corpses, ends with her vowing to kill "every last one." It's unclear who she's possibly referring to, but we'd like to think it's one of the major lingering survivor groups still make a mess in the world. In the sequel, you play as Ellie (voiced again by Ashley Johnson), and it seems that much of the game revolves around her. In The Last of Us, you primarily played as Joel. After a tumultuous series of delays, we can finally breathe easy knowing that Naughty Dog's highly-anticipated sequel won't be much longer. The Last of Us Part II was is set to release on June 19 for PS4. We do know that The Last of Us Part II is going to be violent and horrific, like the first game, as well as plenty emotional. Story hints about what's going on with a much-older Ellie (now the series' protagonist) and her adopted father, Joel, so far have been cryptic, and details about what to expect from Naughty Dog's world overrun by fungus-infected zombie-like monster-people. Though we've seen The Last of Us Part II in action-which was impressively crisp and responsive-there's still a whole lot we don't know about the follow-up to one of the PS3's most acclaimed games. Reviews will go live about a week before the game's launch. Another video in a pre-release series will also release the following day, ahead of the game's June release date. There is a State of Play video airing on May 27 that will shed more light on the gameplay changes in the new version and offer an extended demonstration. ![]() However, in recent months, we've been hearing more about how the game will play, as well as more story details. Both Sony and Naughty Dog have since kept their cards close to their chests, waiting for the right moment to drop more details about the game's story and gameplay. After The Last of Us Part II's initial announcement, Sony has been fairly tight-lipped about the highly-anticipated sequel for several years. ![]()
