While some gamers are excited about the possible return of Joel and Ellie in “The Last of Us 2”, some believe that it is also possible that Naughty Dog may recast the sequel altogether.
Some are hoping that Ellie would be back and most others do not like Joel to return to the sequel.
According to one gamer, when he got to play Ellie in “The Last of Us”, it was one of the best parts of the game. He said that they go to understand Ellie better and could feel that she has been through a lot in the game.
The gamer went on to say that an Ellie-centric “The Last of Us 2” would be a great idea. He also said that it would be a great emotional scene if Joel dies in Ellie’s arms trying to save her from the Infected.
He said that perhaps Naughty Dog would like to consider doing it while the protagonists are trying to kill a stage 5 Infected which got removed from the first game. Then after Joel’s death, Ellie will be all her own and shall continue fighting for her own survival.
However, such plotline is just a fan wishful thinking and has yet to be confirmed or denied by Naughty Dog.
