While he did not specifically mention that such plot is going to be part of “The Last of Us 2,” some gamers and critics took it to mean that the new story may have something to do with the game.
In fact, there have been reports that came out subsequently saying that it could actually feature game characters going back and forth through time to fix the problems that are ailing the world in the game.
Accordingly, there will be a number of characters in the upcoming video game that will head back into the past to try and change things so that the infection would not happen.
But it was only up to that point that Druckmann made the revelation, refusing to further divulge details.
“The Last of Us” also had a rather morally ambiguous ending, which means that the sequel might see that one of the two main characters has to go while the other one has to pull the trigger on the other.
In “The Last of Us,” Ellie willingly offered herself to undergo surgery in order to help the renegade Fireflies find a cure for the disease that has plagued the world since Ellie is immune from the virus. But if she goes under the knife, she will die in the process.
