The Last of Us is an action-adventure survival horror video game developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Computer Entertainment.

"Uncharted 4" Easter egg hinted "The Last of Us 2," and now rumors are circulating that the upcoming game will focus on Ellie. Developers of the game teased via twitter on May 19 that Ellie would be the focal point of the storyline of the upcoming installment.

The Easter egg was a poster discovered at the epilogue of the game, which is titled "The Last of Us: American Daughters." In the poster, fans can see a pregnant woman putting on a gas mask, with a gun in her left hand.

The face of the woman is not clear, and therefore, it is assumed that the character is either a pregnant Ellie or her mother, according to Game N Guide. It as well points to a possibility of the storyline of "The Last of Us: American Daughters" being either a prequel or a sequel to "The Last of Us 2."

It is possible that "The Last of Us: America Daughters" could just be a teaser on what should be expected from the comic book series of the upcoming title, MNR noted. Naughty Dog, the game developer company, published a four-series comic book titled "The Last of Us: American Dreams."

Although "The Last of Us: American Daughters" could be the game iteration for the four-series comic book, the developer company it yet to given any specifics on the main plot of the game. Furthermore, Naughty Dog has not yet given the identity of the woman in the poster nor has it stated whether Joel from "The Last of Us" will return in the much-awaited game.

It is important to note that the poster shows Ellie holding a gun with her left hand although she is right-handed. However, "The Last of Us Remastered" shows Ellie with her weapon in the left hand. Additionally, the weapon that Ellie is holding in the "The Last of Us 2" posters is similar to what Joel was holding in the "Remastered."

The similarity between Joel in the "Remastered" cover and "The Last of Us 2" woman with a mask could be significant. The game developer may be pointing to a possible passing of the torch from Joel to Ellie in the upcoming title.
