He said that there are others like her and a cure will most likely be found. The credits of the video game followed shortly and gamers really felt that they were given a cliffhanger, similar to watching a season finale of a TV series.
According to critics, “The Last of Us 2” may see Ellie getting the right motivation to kill Joel, which is why there are also rumors that Joel shall no longer be part of the sequel.
Ellie shall be mad with Joel for lying to her after she woke up from the supposed operation. The young lady wanted to offer herself as a sacrifice so the Fireflies organization can perform an experiment on her and find the cure to the infection. But Joel is opposed to the idea when he learned from Fireflies leader Marlene that Ellie could die from the operation
As far as the release date for the game is concerned, there have been previous reports that “The Last of Us 2” might be released next year.
However, recent reports seem to indicate that it is not going to happen at all next year but perhaps three to five years from now.
Accordingly, Naughty Dog is currently developing a new game extension for their equally acclaimed “Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End,” thus, it would take the developer more time before it can fully focus on the development of “The Last of Us 2.”
