It is almost three years since the release of "The Last of Us" and now fans are clamoring for the release of a follow-up sequel, "The Last of Us 2." Naughty Dog just recently released "Uncharted 4," and therefore, there is every reason to believe that the game developer has turned its focus on the next installment in "The Last of Us" franchise. Rumors have it that the upcoming sequel will have an Ellie-centric arc.
"The Last of Us 2" has become one of the most anticipated video games after its predecessor came out in 2013, according to Value Walk. When the original "The Last of US" released, the game exceeded everyone's expectations with its great display of emotions, character development, and even the strategy of telling the story. It is reported that many reviews have given the game a perfect 10 rating.
However, the plot for the upcoming game, "The Last of Us," is still a mystery to most fans of the franchise. It is unclear whether the much-awaited installment in the franchise will still feature the two main characters - Joel and Ellie.
There are possibilities that "The Last of Us 2" will feature an Ellie-centric storyline based on the Easter egg spotted in the epilogue of the recently released "Uncharted 4," according to Daily Star. An insider spotted on a poster of "The Last of Us" concealed underneath several Polaroids of "Uncharted 4."
According to the publication, the tagline under the potential "The Last of Us 2" reads, "American Daughters." In addition, the character in the poster is believed to be Ellie.
However, a close look at the poster reveals that the character is wearing a gas mask. It is worth mentioning that fans are aware that Ellie is immune to the infection. Therefore, seeing her putting on a gas mask is a bit odd if the character in the poster is truly Ellie.
Naughty Dog is still mum about the details for the upcoming sequel. As a result, avid fans should remain patient to have an official statement from the game developer. Meanwhile, they can watch the sneak peek below to have a glimpse of what the game will look like when it finally releases.
